Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB605LM Multi-scale 5-string Electric Bass Guitar – Black Flat

Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB605LM Multi-scale 5-string Electric Bass Guitar – Black Flat

As the Ibanez Bass Workshop continues to explore the furthest depths of subterranean sound shaping, the BTB605LM multi-scale bass emerges. Forged with five strings of potent possibilities, a tonewood tetrad of okoume, maple, walnut, and rosewood undergirds this bass’s foundations, electrified by an unbridled suite of Ibanez Custom Electronics crafted to contour, control, and configure your perfectly personalized low-end array. Its neck-through construction and 5-piece neck are complemented by methodical shaping and beveling, impressing bassists with its adaptable yet aggressive playability, providing ample access to its frenzy of fretboard ferocity. With eye-catching aesthetics exceeded by detailed and dynamic tone-crafting tools, the multi-scale Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB605LM spares no effort to ensure powerful and pliable performances are always at the ready.

A quadrature of tonal supports

Utilizing a neck-through construction, the fearsome foursome of the multi-scale Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB605LM’s tonewood foundations is fertile ground for nurturing the nicest and gnarliest of tones. A 5-piece maple and walnut blend comprises its neck and core, marrying the full-spectrum brightness and note-separating articulation of maple with the warmth, presence, and precision of walnut. Okoume wings augment the resonance of this bass, with its natural brightness and warmth complementing the same properties found in the neck-core maple. Up top, a bound rosewood fretboard completes the quadrumvirate of tonewoods, capping your sound with crystalline presence and projection, remaining responsive, reactive, and robust in every register.

Ibanez Custom Electronics and seriously sweepable mids

Ibanez’s luthiers and engineers worked in tandem to ensure the Ibanez Custom Electronics crafted for this bass were tailored to capture and deploy the distinctive sonic assemblage of the Bass Workshop BTB605LM’s foundational tonewoods. A prismatic pair of T1 humbuckers is adorned by a constellation of controls, including a 3-band EQ, Balancer, Master Volume, and dedicated knobs for Bass, Middle, and Treble frequency bands. What’s more, a 3-way mini-switch augments your aural armature with an array of sweepable mids and customizable sound design, ensuring your tones are teeming with pocket-worthy panache.

Contoured for comfort and designed for diversity

Opting for a 5-piece neck and neck-through construction with graphite rod reinforcement for this Bass Workshop BTB605LM, Ibanez was able to not only enrich the resonant faculties and harmonic aperture of this 5-string firestarter, but also significantly increase the instrument’s dimensional stability. Doing this ensures increased resilience to twisting, warping, or further environmental influences; it also reduces the number of maintenance trips to the workbench, allowing you to spend more time making music and less time fretting. Moreover, this assembly allows for a near-seamless heel joint, which — coupled with its accessibility-focused cutaways, meticulous body contouring, and ultra-fast BTB5 neck profile — supports unencumbered fretboard pyrotechnics all over the 24 frets that sprawl the bass’s 34–35-inch multi-scale scope and 15.75-inch fingerboard radius. Toss in a rock-solid set of Ibanez-engineered hardware, and the Bass Workshop BTB605LM multi-scale 5-string electric bass is a no-punches-pulled powerhouse of low-frequency fervor, just waiting to be tamed in any arena.
