Ibanez ANB205TWB Adam Nitti Signature 5-String Electric Bass w/Bag - Transparent Wine Red Burst

Adam Nitti is an accomplished professional bassist, and his Ibanez ANB205TWB signature 5-string is designed to facilitate his impressive playing technique.

The comfortable, lightweight Swamp Ash body delivers solid fundamentals and rich harmonics, while the maple neck and fingerboard lend a strong upper midrange and crisp, brilliant highs. This guitar is a bright, full-spectrum instrument that's right at home in the hands of a virtuoso; and to facilitate soloing, the rear of the lower horn features an extra scoop that provides easier access to the higher register. For the electronics, Adam selected Bartolini 59CBJD pickups, a venerable passive design that features extended frequency range with enhanced resonance, so you get more treble definition and air at without sacrificing punchy lows and low-midrange. The pickups are cast in epoxy to eliminate microphonics and feedback.

Bartolini NTMB+F preamp
Specially modified to Adam's specifications, the onboard Bartolini NTMB+F preamp delivers extremely clear, transparent sound and offers independent bass, midrange, and treble controls with very low noise and a broad boost/cut range. The 3-way midrange frequency selector provides additional sonic versatility with a choice of 250Hz, 500Hz, or 800Hz frequency centers. You can fine-tune the brightness via a passive tone trimmer in the body cavity.

Hipshot A-Style bridge and finger ramp
Adam's preferred Hipshot A-Style bridge features 18mm string spacing, which is slightly wider than Ibanez's standard 16.5mm SR-5 string spacing. The extra plucking real estate gives bassists plenty of freedom to explore techniques such as slap, without compromising playing comfort. This guitar ships with an optional ash finger ramp that, by keeping the fingers from digging in too deeply, enhances tone and playing speed by enforcing a more consistent attack and quicker recovery time.
