Features
BTB "Boutique Bass" w/Multi Scale
Bass Workshop's interpretation of the multi-scale BTB model.
- Through-neck construction for long sustain, rich resonance, and high rigidity
5pc neck made of maple and hard walnut for clear sound image and attack.
The rigidity is reinforced by graphite rods installed inside the neck.
The through-neck construction provides long sustain and rich resonance, and the seamless feel of the neck back across the entire fret range is one of the BTB bass's most distinctive features.
- 6-string side: 37"~1-string side: 34.5" extra long multi-scale
The scale of the low-B string (6th string) is set at 37", which gives the low strings more tension than the standard BTB model, and this gives the bass more clarity and core sound when tuned down.
The multi-scale design has the most extreme fan shape of any Ibanez bass, which is especially beneficial for technical fingering in the high fret range.
- Poplar burl top, ocoume wood & ash wood laminated wing body
The double-winged wing body, which sandwiches the neck, has a laminated structure with ash wood for a clear and crisp sound, okoume wood for its mid-low range characteristics, and poplar wood with distinctive burl grain laminated to the top.
The deep cutaway style of the body contributes to the ease of playing in the high position, and the horn shape/design was designed for good balance when played standing up.
- Ibanez T1 Pickups
This is a humbucker with two original separate coils, designed for a sound with tight response in the lower register, punchy midrange, and clear treble.
The rounded cover edge is designed for easy finger placement, and the two pickups are slightly offset so that their ends are nearly parallel to the strings, providing a level of playability not found on other multi-scale models.
- MR5S (monorail) bridge with inter-string pitch adjustment mechanism
Each string is independent of the other, so the vibration of the strings is transmitted directly to the body. The saddle is movable by ±1.5mm in the left and right directions, allowing the pitch between strings to be set freely within a fixed range.
- Active 3-band EQ with 3-pattern mid-band frequency switch and EQ bypass switch
This equalizer produces an active sound with a wide range and low noise, and the midrange frequency can be switched between 250Hz, 450Hz, and 700Hz by changing the switch.
It also has an EQ bypass switch that allows it to be used as a passive bass. (When bypassed, the Treble knob controls the tone) (powered by 006P batteries)
- Zero fretting for accurate intonation and minimal difference between open/pressed string sounds.
- Stainless steel frets for bright sound quality and high durability
- Neutrik jacks with locking mechanism to prevent plugs from falling out
- Exclusive hard-shell case (not for sale) included
