zZounds Gear Experts Say...

5-piece maple neck. Agathis body.

Overview

BTB takes the traditional formula of powerful tones produced by a massive body and substantial neck and adds an even longer 35 in. inch scale neck, the right mix of premium woods and modern appointments.

Features
18 volt EQ circuitry provides much greater headroom than found on standard active EQs

35 in. neck scale provides superior articulation. Perfect for 5-strings and detuned 4-strings

Agathis body -- A relative of mahogany with similar tonal characteristics, agathis provides warm lows with strong sustain.

Rosewood finger board -- Rosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain.

Ibanez BTB205 Bass Customer Review

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

This is an excellent 5-String bass, and through personal experience with it, I can say Ibanez outdid themselves for a 5-String at this price. Sturdy, pleasing to the eye, capable of a multitude of sounds and styles, this bass really is amazing.

Sound

Excellent sound, from a treble punch to a smooth smokey sound, this bass is great overall.

Ease of Use

A new bass player can pick this up and start playing, nothing complicated about it's setup and style.

Quality

Fantastic quality. In my possession it's fallen onto the ground a handful of times, and no damage to the exterior or interior.

Value

This bass is definitely worth the price. For those wanting to experiment with that extra low B string, this is an affordable 5-String that's well worth the price.

Manufacturer Support

This thing is just so well made there was no need to contact support!

The Wow Factor

Personally I love the color and the style. Both the body and neck are sleek and smooth, making it not only aesthetically pleasing but great too for playing.
