The Ibanez Mode MDM1305 is the modern evolution of the classic bass guitar — sleek, powerful, and refined. This 5-string bass combines the warm, vintage thump with the precision of advanced engineering, making it perfect for locking in heavy grooves or delivering intricate solos. Designed for effortless playability, it flows naturally with your hands, enabling you to craft distinctive, unforgettable basslines with ease.
Sculpted for Speed
A bass this versatile needs a foundation that feels like a second skin. Ibanez completely re-engineered the body contours and neck joint to ensure you never fight the instrument, letting your hands fly freely across the fretboard.
Super All Access Neck Joint: Reach those dusty upper frets without dislocating your thumb. This highly contoured heel melts into your hand, giving you unrestricted, ergonomic access to all 24 frets.
Roasted Maple Neck & Fretboard: Feel the ultra-fast, C-profile neck glide through your grip. The roasting process removes moisture for rock-solid stability, while the rounded fretboard edges feel comfortably worn-in right out of the gig bag.
Medium Stainless-Steel Frets: Bend, slide, and slap with aggressive authority. These resilient frets deliver a snappy, articulate response that will outlast years of heavy gigging and furious fretting.
Sculpt Your Tone
Static, muddy bass tones are uninspiring. The MDM1305 shatters the mold with a highly adaptable electronics package that delivers everything from aggressive, punchy growls to warm, vintage-style bumps. With an advanced preamp and custom pickups, you have absolute authority over your frequencies, allowing you to slice right through the densest mix without breaking a sweat.
Delta S5J Pickups: These noise-canceling single-coils deliver an aggressive yet beautifully balanced tone. They respond evenly across all frequencies, giving you crystal-clear articulation on every single string.
Sonitech S Preamp: Dial in your exact sonic footprint using the comprehensive 3-band EQ. Need pure passive purity? Just flip the EQ bypass switch and let the wood do the talking.
Hexa Mid System: Take complete command over the crucial midrange. With a 3-way toggle on the front and a 2-way switch on the back, you have six distinct mid-frequency points to perfectly tailor your punch.
Hardware That Holds the Groove
Hardware is just as important as design, and the MDM1305 excels at both. Built with durable components, it offers reliable tuning and excellent sustain. Its black-stained ash body and roasted maple fretboard not only look stunning under stage lights but are also tough enough to handle the rigors of touring.
Ash Body with Black Stained Grain: Command attention visually and sonically. The striking, black-stained ash not only looks modern and mean but also provides a bright, resonant core tone that cuts right to the front.
MR5S Mono-Rail Bridge: Experience massive sustain and supreme string-to-string clarity. By isolating each string, this bridge prevents sympathetic vibrations from muddying up your rapid-fire runs.
Aero-Light Tuners: Keep your tuning locked down without suffering from dreaded neck dive. Crafted from "Extra Super Duralumin," these tuners are ridiculously light yet incredibly durable.
A New Benchmark for Bass
The Ibanez MDM1305 5-string electric bass is the perfect fusion of legendary design and relentless modern innovation. It honors the soul of classic basses while delivering the tonal muscle and playability of a contemporary masterpiece. This instrument is built for players who want to explore the outer limits of their technique without ever losing that fundamental groove.
