The ever-evolving Ibanez BTB series has always aimed to expand the player's range of creative expression. The elegantly contoured, massive body of select tone woods combines with dedicated hardware and electronics to produce huge, rich tones. Neck-through construction, a two-octave fretboard, and a super-deep cutaway, promise sleek playability and enduring sustain. The BTB series defines what the "Boutique Bass" is all about.

The BTB846SC is a 6-string bass featuring an Ash wing body with Poplar Burl top/Mahogany back that creates a sound that is response, articulate, and deep. A 35" scale, 5pc Maple/Walnut through-neck provides superior resonance, and enhances sustain. The jatoba fretboard sports highly-durable Stainless Steel frets that produce a clear, bright tone, and a "zero" fret provides accurate intonation, while allowing open strings to ring with the same resonance as notes played up the neck.

Electronics include Bartolini BH2 pickups for a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. Combined with the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, w/3-way mid-frequency switch, the BTB846SC contains tonal variations that enhance simple chord work, as well as complex soloing. The Mono-rail V bridge allows for a wide range of adjustment, with each isolated saddle securely locked down to the body for optimum vibration transfer, and minimal sympathetic string interference. D'Addario NYXL strings are installed for expanding dynamic range and harmonic response. A high-tech read more Neutrik locking output jack insures a secure connection, preventing accidental disconnect.

this bass plays like a dream this 6 string is the first 6 string i felt comfortable with right away the string spacing is perfect not to wide and not to close and once you lower the action a little its like butter in your hands the bartolini's really sound great and the tones you get from them are compatiable with some of the much higher end basses great job Ibanez
