Innovative five-string from Ibanez
For the Ibanez BTB865SC-WKL in Weathered Black Low Gloss from the Ibanez Bass Workshop series, the reliable bass forge has created a fully innovative E-Bass, which uses a fancy design and detailed electronics to create sonic flexibility and a unique playing experience. Accordingly, this model from the BTB series uses high-quality Hardware and tonewoods, as well as an active 3-band tone control with versatile adjustment options.
The memorable design of Ibanez's BTB865SC-WKL features an ash top, which offers both a natural finish and a black finish to contrast with the dark okoume body.
The ergonomic design with continuous neck and large cutaway creates particularly comfortable playing conditions and easy access to all 24 frets.
Elaborate construction
The Ibanez BTB865SC-WKL Bass combines intricate composition with innovative features. Thus, the full-length maple and walnut neck delivers particularly strong attack, while okoume body wings in unison with the ash top in black finish provide further clarity and Sustain. 24 medium stainless steel frets spread across the rosewood fingerboard and provide plenty of room for expressive electric bass expressions over the 35-inch (889 mm) extra-long scale length.

Bartolini pickups and active 3-band EQ.
Two passive humbucker-format BH2 pickups from Bartolini provide a penetrating sound with tight lows and pronounced articulation. The innovative tone control provides a boost and cut for highs, lows and mids with optimally tuned frequencies. Furthermore, the mid frequencies can be conveniently adjusted via a 3-way switch from 250Hz, over 450Hz and 700Hz. Of course, two controls for Volume and balance may not be missing here.
Die-cast tuners with precise barrel guarantee high tuning stability.
High-quality Hardware equipment
Last but not least, the 5-string E-Bass from the Ibanez Bass Workshop Series has been equipped with high-quality hardware, which in the black finish supports both the visual and tonal qualities of the woofer. An MR5 mono-rail bridge with individual bridges makes precise adjustments with the best isolation of each of the five strings possible. In addition, five Ibanez die-cast tuners keep the E-Bass in correct tuning.
