Key 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 allows players to choose from 3 Mid Frequency options and provides great tonal variety.
Neck-through construction
The neck-through construction contributes to massive sustain and smooth access to high fretboard positions.
