Ibanez's classic BTB through-neck bass gets the 7-string treatment with a super-deep cutaway, a set of CAP Sonic Arch pickups and a Mono-Rail IV bridge.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple wings and body with walnut top Increased resonance; smooth midrange and highs
CAP Sonic Arch pickups Tight, focused bass tone with richness and depth
E6 3-band EQ with EQ bypass switch Control highs, midrange and lows independently
AAA-grade birdseye maple top Artisan-grade wood enhances the guitar's beauty

The added first string of the Ibanez BTB7 (factory tuning: 1F, 2C, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E, 7B) opens up a wider range for chords and soloing, while at the lower end still delivering a full, rich, thick response capable of anchoring any arrangement. As one of the iconic Ibanez basses, this BTB steps confidently into territory few instruments have gone before. Having already staked its ground in the "boutique" class with its sustain enhancing thru-neck design, 35" scale and super-deep nearly 2-octave cutaway, Ibanez, the masters of the 5 and 6-string bass, have opened yet another door of musical possibility.

All components of the BTB7 are interdependent, working together toward a superior performance: The Mono-Rail IV bridge is the ultimate in string isolation for bass, featuring a saddle locking system that maximizes stability and focuses vibration transfer. The CAP Sonic Arch delivers optimal performance from string to string. In terms of tone, these pickups have gained a reputation for flexibility, delivering everything from "crisp and detailed" to "warm and fat." Tonal clarity of the lower strings is ensured by the 35" scale neck. To handle the added tension of seven strings, Ibanez luthiers designed a 7-pc Maple/Bubinga/Walnut neck that achieves the trifecta of bass design: Surprising player comfort, extraordinary mechanical stability and a visual spectacle that will impress anyone who appreciates masterly wood craft.
