What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
3-band EQ Control bass, midrange and treble individually
Bartolini BH2 pickups Tight bottom end, punchy midrange, smooth response
Mono-Rail V bridge Allows strings to vibrate fully; great stability
Zero-fret nut Optimal action; pristine intonation

The BTB845 is a 5-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 BTB845 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 Neutrik locking output jack ensures a secure connection, preventing accidental disconnect.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This bass does practically anything you could ever want it to do, and is packed full of great features, like stainless steel frets, a zero fret, locking output jack, etc. whether you’re looking for a quality instrument for gigging, recording, rehearsal etc this will cover everything and then some. $1000 may seem like a lot of money, and it is, but this bass has the quality and playability of an instrument twice as expensive. Another amazing product from Ibanez.
