The allure of the Ibanez BTB845 5-string bass is undeniable, with its captivating poplar burl top drawing attention from across the room. Despite its magazine-worthy appearance, this bass remains surprisingly affordable. Once in your hands, the comfortably contoured multilayer body and the power of the neck-through construction showcase the exceptional value of this instrument.
Featuring a layered ash-over-okoume wing design beneath the striking poplar burl top, the solid 5-piece maple and walnut neck extends the full length of the bass. Coupled with a 5-piece Mono-rail V bridge, the BTB845 offers remarkable sustain and ideal string-to-string isolation. This enhances the clarity of the Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups, while the 3-band active EQ empowers players to sculpt their preferred bass tones effortlessly. Additional premium touches like the stainless steel zero-fret and locking output jack further enhance the playability of this remarkable bass.
Bartolini BH2 pickups ensure a full and balanced tone. They strike an excellent balance between clarity and depth, offering complexity and warmth in the mids and rich low-end depth without compromising definition. With long-blade pole pieces, these pickups deliver hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency.
The neck-through design of the BTB845 guarantees exceptional sustain, a feature with a rich history tracing back to iconic prototypes like Les Paul's "The Log" and Rickenbacker's innovations. This design allows players to feel the vibrations resonating through the ultra-stable 5-piece maple and walnut neck, contributing to greater tonal balance and clarity.
The inclusion of the Mono-rail V bridge further enhances definition and sustain. Unlike traditional single-body bridges, each Mono-rail V saddle operates independently, minimizing sympathetic vibration and ensuring efficient energy transfer between strings and body. This design detail results in astonishing clarity and sustain, elevating the overall performance of the BTB845.
