    Ibanez Introduces Two New BTB Singlecut Basses

    Bensalem, PA – New for 2023, Ibanez has introduced two new additions to its singlecut BTB lineup. The BTB865SC and BTB866SC combine the unique, high-end aesthetics of a single cut bass with sleek and aggressive visuals. These instruments bring to bear many popular BTB features such as neck-thru construction, a mono-rail bridge, an Ibanez custom 3-band EQ, and a 35” scale length. What sets them apart is the unique combination of Ash capped body wings finished in a compelling Weathered Black Low Gloss. These design choices deliver an appearance the combines, quite effectively, the boutique attributes of natural wood tops, with the modern energy of solid finishes. Other notable features include a Rosewood fretboard, zero fret, detachable finger ramp, and medium stainless steel frets.


    Features

    BTB865SC
    • BTB5 5pc Maple/Walnut neck-through w/Graphite reinforcement rods

    Nembrini Audio’s New Bass Driver Plugin

    Januaary 10th 2022 PAVIA, ITALY: Nembrini Audio, is pleased to introduce its new Bass Driver plugin, a 3 band overdrive / amp sim based on the SansAmp Bass Driver D.I.*. See it In use here.
