    Help Identify This Ibanez Bass

    Only Ibanez headstock I know shaped like that is the BTB series. But the logo is wrong and the necks have always been 5+ piece.

    Ibanez BTB 675 string change help

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Useful information. Stringing the mono-rail bridge is also a little different from traditional bridges.

    Pre show rituals

    Imodium. Drug of choice for our crew. Without fail, whoever in the band fails to do so, usually finds themselves having to run and leave a dump mid-set. We tend to eat a lot of bar food when we're on the road, and the restrooms are less than desirable.

    Georgia Bassist Club

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I've known Chris for a while, but just started gigging with him in the past year. The Styx gigs are before my time, but I was in attendance. If we pull another gig close to home, drop in and say hey. Let me know if y'all have any, and I'll try to do the same.

    Ibanez BTB Club, Part 2!

    Man those two look sharp together. The BTB isn't for everyone, but those of us who have them usually swear by them. Just picked up my second.

    Ibanez BTB Club, Part 2!

    Was looking for a number earlier, but didn't post a pic. My bad. This weekend, I added a 2012 BTB676 to keep my 2002 BTB405QM company. Pretty please, can I have a number? Been a HUGE fan of these basses for a long time.

    Ibanez BTB Club, Part 2!

    Sign me up. Bought a 405QM new in '02 and it's been my main bass ever since. I'm also really jealous of all these natural 6s. I plan on purchasing a 5 or 6 soon.
