NO WAY! Single cut version of the Ibanez BTB!!

[Thomas Kievit]

Man oh man, is this fancy or what?

I'm looking at some photo's that Ibanez publiced on their page on Facebook and I noticed a single cut version of the Ibanez BTB 676. I can't find any other information, but it would be awesome if Ibanez puts it to public sale!

SUPER exciting. I am this close to pulling the trigger on a BTB7, too...when do Ibanez 2014 models appear/become available?

This looks like a mostly maple/walnut combo - same as the BTB7, which looks and sounds great.

NAMM show 2014 is on January 23-26, so then we will know a lot more

This is from BP Live, so hopefully there is some news on Monday.

I know the guys at The Gallery in London (famous for their Sei basses, of which I am a proud owner) did some design consultation work with Ibanez on a singlecut BTB a few years back. This looks different to the design they were working on though - their design was a bit more of a classic, Les Paul-style singlecut and this one is a bit more contemporary. Can't wait to check it out though.

Nice story mate! Thanks for sharing

This is way cool. I hope they do a singlecut in the premium line too.

That looks awesome, BTB is the next one on my Ibanez list, can't wait to see some more of these...

 

[IronSpatula]

What!? Singlecut BTB7 would be insane!

Now if they would only put it on a diet.

My BTB 6 string (older model with flamed maple top) was the best playing B string I'd ever played (rivals my Spector) but it seriously needed Jenny Craig's help!

That is no singlecut. Look closer fools!

Looks like a singlecut to me...

Pass the doob and look closer

I could be wrong, but that looks like a neck-thru fretless SR right behind it.

If you look closely, you can see the wood grain flow from one end to the other. Definitely a single cut!

You're not, it is! Singlecut BTB, fretless SR, what's next, fanned fretted artcore? Sweet Jesus!

 

[punisher911]

I like it...

 

[Thomas Kievit]

Get yourself some glasses you FOOL! Cause it IS a single cut bass. The upperhorn of the singlecut side is attached at the neck near the 12th fret

That is no singlecut. Look closer fools!

Now if only they'd make a 4-string, passive one.

I haven't truly considered buying a new Ibanez for some time, but I've always really liked the BTBs and that singecut looks frickin sweet!!!!!!
