    The Flamed Maple top displays a beautiful wood grain and the Ash/Okoume wing body delivers a pleasant brightness and rich sustain.

     

    T1 pickups

    The T1 pickup is a humbucker featuring two separate, individually mounted coils that provides tight bass response, punchy mid-range, and clear high-end. It offers flexible voicing suitable for various genres, and the height of each coil can be set individually for highly nuanced adjustments to the tone. On top of its great sound, the physical design features rounded edges for enhanced ergonomic comfort when using the pickup as a thumb rest. Moreover, the individually mounted coils allow them to be positioned slightly offset from one another. This makes it so the surface of the pickup where the player rests their thumb is directly parallel with the strings, which is not typical with most multi scale basses. This design greatly enhances the comfort and playability of the instrument.  

     

    Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ

    The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control.

    The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.

     

    3-way Mid frequency switch

    The 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.

     

    Neck-through construction

    The neck-through construction contributes to massive sustain and smooth access to high fretboard positions.
