Multiscale bass with neck-through construction
To give the Bass Workshop BTB806MS a cultivated sound with an accurate representation of the highest and lowest notes, Ibanez uses a neck-through construction with first-class tonewoods and a multiscale scale that provides the optimal length for each string to develop its sound. The range is from 34.5" on the G-string (876 mm) to 37" on the low B-string (940 mm). At the same time, the flat "BTB6" profile of the full-length, graphite-reinforced maple-walnut neck provides agile playing characteristics, so that grooves between 24 stainless steel frets of the Panga Panga fingerboard come off with ease. Body wings made of okoumé, which are provided with a burl poplar top and ash back, furthermore provide for the dignified boutique look.
Ibanez T1 pickups with active Custom Electronics 3-band EQ elicit a wide range of sounds from the bass amp.
Flexible sound thanks to T1 pickups and active EQ
At the bass amp, the Bass Workshop BTB806MS Bass presents itself as an absolute all-rounder that feels at home in almost every style of music. The special design of the Ibanez T1 Bass pickups promises an accurate, yet powerful representation of every note played. For precise tone adjustment, the electric bass guitar is also equipped with an active Ibanez Custom Electronic 3-band equalizer, whose centre control has three selectable centre frequencies. The EQ bypass switch also puts the six-string into passive mode.
Die-cast machine heads with precise running guarantee high tuning stability.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, Ibanez completes the Bass Workshop BTB806MS-TGF Transparent Gray Flat E-Bass with high-quality and reliable hardware.
