anyone know what type of Ibanez BTB this is?

Picture?

FYI if you were using the guitar dater project, it says on the website they don’t list model numbers.

Looks just like my BTB405, the left one, and I'm pretty sure it's a 35" scale

 

My now-sold BTB400QM was exactly like that, but in 4-strings and swirl black.

 

Yup...thats a BTB405QM....I have the same exact bass.

 

It's a 35" scale.

 

It looks like a BTB405QM. I had one about 14 years ago. Kept it for a few years. It's definitely 35" scale. Check the 2002 catalogue, they appear in there.

 

Yes, as per typical Ibanez, unless it says otherwise it's in-house electronics. That said, I was always impressed with the tone of my BTB405QM. The dual band mid control meant you could really mix up the sound. Perfect for adding 'oomph' in a live setting without having to touch the bass control.

 

The pickups should say either ibanez or bartoloni on them. I did have to adjust string height on mine to compensate for the tone (strings still a bit high for my taste) but it has a lot of punch and flexibility.

 

405QM. I played a gazillion gigs with one. The mid frequency and level stack knob will make that bass kick like a mule.

By the way, individually we are all dipsticks. Collectively, we know every dang thing. Next time skip the drama and just ask here first.

 

Agreed. You won't find a better and more knowledgeable group of people than here on TB.

 

BTB405 35" scale!
