Product Features

- 5pc Maple/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods
The 5pc Maple/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack. The Graphite reinforcement rods provides massive sustain and excellent stability.

- Rosewood fretboard
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

- Medium Stainless Steel frets
The Stainless Steel frets are durable and long-lasting.

- Poplar Burl top / Okoume / Ash wing body
A stunning Poplar Burl top with an Okoume/Ash wing body provides bright and solid tones with rich sustain.

- Nordstrand™ Big Single pickups
Nordstrand™ ”Big Single” cram a meaty single coil into a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil pickups.

- Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.

- MR5S bridge
The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs.

- EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot)
The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.

- 3-way Mid frequency switch
The 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.

Special Features

- Neck-through construction
The neck-through construction contributes to massive sustain and smooth access to high fretboard positions.
