Modern Multiscale Bass in BTB Design
The Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB805MS-TGF Transparent Gray Flat expands the Ibanez Bass line-up with a BTB model in trendy multiscale design. Carefully matched tonewoods and scales increasing from 35" (889 mm) to 37" (940 mm) create the optimal basis for an extremely precise sound representation from the highest to the lowest string, while the wide neck with fanned frets conveys optimal playing characteristics. With two Ibanez T1 pickups and an active 3-band Equaliser, the Multiscale five-string delivers a particularly rich sound spectrum with the right sounds for almost any musical style. Indestructible Hardware in the form of Ibanez Mono-Rail single bridges and precise Die-Cast bass tuners completes the Bass Workshop BTB805MS-TGF Transparent Gray Flat E-Bass by Ibanez.
The Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB805MS-TGF Transparent Gray Flat is a dignified multiscale bass with fine tone woods and first-class features.
While the through neck is made of maple and walnut, the okoumé body wings bear ash backs and burl poplar tops.
Multiscale bass with neck-through construction.
To give the Bass Workshop BTB805MS a cultivated sound with accurate representation of the highest and lowest notes, Ibanez relies on a neck-through construction with first-class tonewoods and multiscale scale, which provides the optimal length for each string to develop its sound. Here, the range extends from 35" on the G string (889 mm) to 37" on the low B (940 mm). At the same time, the flat "BTB5" profile of the full-length, graphite-reinforced maple-walnut neck imparts 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 an 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.

At the bass amp, the Bass Workshop BTB805MS Bass presents itself as an absolute all-rounder that feels at home in almost any 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 center control has three selectable center frequencies. The EQ bypass switch also puts the five-string into passive mode.
Die-cast machine heads with precise barrel guarantee high tuning stability.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, Ibanez completes the Bass Workshop BTB805MS-TGF Transparent Gray Flat E-Bass with high-quality and reliable hardware. Five Ibanez MR5S Mono-Rail individual bridges guarantee here an exact adjustment of the intonation and an optimal string position. Behind the zero fret and nut, Ibanez Die-Cast bass machine heads ensure accurate and robust tuning of the five-string electric bass.
