But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That's where Ibanez comes in. Our ability to build small-shop quality, into inspiring yet affordable instruments, is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.

    Medium Stainless Steel Frets: The Stainless Steel frets are durable and long-lasting.

     

    Poplar Burl top / Okoume / Ash Wing Body: A stunning Poplar Burl top with an Okoume/Ash wing body provides bright and solid tones with rich sustain.

     

    Nordstrand Big Single Pickups: Nordstrand “Big Single” cram a meaty single coil into a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil pickups.

     

    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 Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.
