Bass Workshop
For more than 40 years, Ibanez has pioneered frontiers in bass development, pushing the boundaries of conventional designs to bass players of all styles, affording avenues of expression and creativity. This spirit of exploration has led to the creation of some of the most successful and popular production basses of all time. Following this same drive to bring relevant ideas to the musical forefront is what serves as the basis for this ongoing project, dubbed the Ibanez Bass Workshop. The impetus behind each one of these unique instruments comes from a desire by the Ibanez bass development team to satisfy the particular needs of many players. These inventions may not read more be for everyone, but for those who yearn to explore sonic vistas through the medium of bass: The Ibanez Bass Workshop project may give you just what you're looking for.

9pc Panga panga/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods
The 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck provides superior note attack, tight lows and increased sustain. The Graphite reinforcement rods provides massive sustain and excellent stability.

Panga Panga fretboard
Panga Panga features a beautiful wood grain which produces a tight low and mid range, along with a sharp attack on high end.

Medium Stainless Steel frets
The Stainless Steel frets are durable and long-lasting.

Ash top / Okoume body
The Ash top imbues this bass with an exotic appearance and the Okoume body delivers a rich mid-low end.

Bartolini BH2 pickups
The Bartolini BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.

Vari-mid 3-band EQ
The Vari-mid 3-band EQ features a variable mid-frequency control which allows you to dial in an incredibly wide range of sounds.

Ibanez custom headpieces
Rugged yet light-weight Ibanez custom headpieces enable strings to be easily set and released by a hex wrench from the back side.

MR5HS bridge
The MR5HS bridge is designed specially for EHB basses and features a wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently and securely attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer. The saddles are adjustable for string spacing +/-1.5mm, answering every bassist's individual string spacing demands, no matter the playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action.

EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot)
The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.

Luminescent side dots
The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.

Schaller S-Locks strap lock pins
Indestructible Schaller S-Locks don't fail, even under the toughest conditions on stage.

Gig bag included
It comes with Ibanez gig bag which is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.

Ergonomic body design
The EHB's headless construction and specially designed body enable the player to maintain a similar playing position whether seated or standing.

Slanted body back
The top half of the back of the body is slanted which allows the bass to rest slightly closer to your body.
