Bensalem, PA – For 2017 Ibanez is reintroducing basses to their Premium line. The 5-string BTB1805, and its 6-string counterpart the BTB1806, are elegantly contoured with bodies made from select tonewoods with dedicated hardware and electronics designed to produce a huge, rich tone. Neck-through construction, a two-octave fretboard, and a super-deep cutaway, promise sleek playability and enduring sustain.
Some of the most notable features on these models include:
Both basses feature a 35’’ scale neck with a “zero” fret for precise intonation and to deliver the same resonance as notes played up the neck.
The Aguilar® DCB pickups, provide a dynamic and responsive attack, well-developed overtones, and singing sustain. Combined with the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch, and 3-way mid frequency switch, the BTB1805 and 1806 both offer immense tonal possibilities for any playing situation. The Mono-rail V bridge consists of isolated saddles, each securely locked to the body for maximum vibration transfer with minimal sympathetic string interference. D'Addario® NYXL strings are installed to expand the dynamic range and harmonic response. Other features include a secure high-tech Neutrik® locking output jack, Gotoh® machine heads, gold hardware and gig bag.
