Ibanez BTB Series 5-String Bass Guitar

BTB as a series

The first word that comes to mind when playing a BTB is "Boutique", however Ibanez has defiantly taken a systematic approach to this creating a boutique feeling instrument without that price tag.

Features:

Okoume Body

The Larger Winged shaped body allows for more sustain. The Okoume (similar to Mahogany) gives a naturally bright solid tone.

The Okoume wing body provides a bright and solid sound.

Medium Stainless Frets

Stainless Frets are said to never ware out and have incredible durability.

T1 pickups

The T1 pick-up is a humbucker with the coils individually mounted. They give you all sorts of mid puchy-ness while keeping the bass tight and the highs clear. By mounting them individually it allows them to follow the ergonomics of the neck and over all flow of the bass

Neck Through

With Neck Through Construction you obtain more sustain and there is no heal for your hand to get stuck on. The transition from the neck to the body is smoother and more comfortable for the player.

MR5S bridge

The MR5S Bridge is completely adjustable for both string spacing and height.

Panga Panga fretboard

Panga Panga is a cousin wood to Wenge which has been known in the guitar industry for a couple decades now. Panga Panga is a beautiful wood with a mid and low end that are both tight and a stern attack in the top end.
