Neck-Through and extra long scale length
At the heart of the Iron Label BTB625EX bass is an elaborate neck-through construction that guarantees crisp output from all strings, even at low tunings, thanks to the extra-long 35" scale length (889 mm). While the full-length maple-walnut neck is reinforced by inlaid graphite rods, the glued-on body wings are made of okoumé. The flat BTB5 neck profile and the almost wear-free stainless steel binding also ensure extremely agile playing characteristics in all positions of the ebonol fingerboard.
Bartolini pickups and active EQ
With two passive Bartolini BH2 Soapbar pickups, the Iron Label BTB625EX delivers extremely juicy bass tones on the bass amp, ranging from the wiry tone of the bridge pickup to the abysmal yet defined tone of the neck pickup. For precise adjustment of the sound, an active Ibanez Custom Electronic 3-band tone control with threeselectable center frequencies for the mid control is also on board.
Indestructible Hardware
Last but not least, the Iron Label BTB625EX-BKF Black Flat 5-string bass from Ibanez is completed by indestructible hardware painted black to match the design. Five Ibanez Mono-Rail V single bridges serve as bridges, guaranteeing clean intonation and string action adjustment even with drop tunings. Encapsulated Die-Cast bass machine heads also ensure precise and stable tuning of the bass guitar.
