Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
The Ibanez BTB Multi Scale 5-String is a modern, high-performance bass designed for players who demand exceptional clarity, comfort, and tonal flexibility. Its neck-through construction, reinforced five-piece maple and walnut neck, and multi-scale design provide outstanding sustain, stability, and string tension balance across the entire fingerboard. The passive T1 pickups deliver a clear, articulate voice with excellent note definition, while the custom 3-band EQ with selectable mid frequencies and passive bypass offers extensive tonal shaping for virtually any playing style. Premium features including stainless steel frets, a bound panga panga fingerboard, and the MR5S bridge contribute to its precise feel and professional-level performance. Finished in a striking Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte, the BTB combines cutting-edge design with exceptional playability, making it an inspiring instrument for modern bassists seeking power, versatility, and refinement.
