The Ibanez BTB625EX electric bass takes select-grade materials, neck-thru construction and top quality components, and meticulously combines them into a stunning pro-level instrument. This inspiring yet affordable instrument is made with a 5-piece maple/walnut neck with graphite reinforcement rode for massive sustain and excellent stability, an ebonol fingerboard for a tight and bright sound, an okoume body and an MR5 bridge. 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 a balanced string-to-string pickup response. Plus, Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ offers 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.
