But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That's where Ibanez comes in. Ibanez's ability to build small-shop quality, into inspiring yet affordable instruments, is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.

5pc Maple/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods

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 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 favorable bass tones.

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