Features

• The 5pc Roasted Maple/Walnut neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.
• A Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.
• Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.
• The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.
• The Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.
• The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is their 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 favourable bass tones.
• The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist's specific string spacing needs.
• 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.
• The 3-way Mid frequency switch allows players to choose from 3 Mid Frequency options and provides great tonal variety.
