Boasting a captivating contemporary design and balanced, studio-ready sound, the Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1005SMS is sure to please even the most discerning of players. This 5-string electric bass guitar offers effortless playability with its sleek modern ergonomic American basswood body, ultra-fast graphite-reinforced 5-piece roasted maple/walnut neck, and multi-scale roasted bird's-eye maple fingerboard for optimal tension and playability. Adding to its sonic prowess, the EHB1005SMS is equipped with a pair of premium Bartolini BH2 pickups. Ibanez has seamlessly integrated it all with the EHB1005SMS's cutting-edge headless design — offering a gateway into the realm of modern boutique-style electric bass guitars.
Enhanced comfort, tension, and tonal quality Multi-scale frets represent an exciting evolution in high-end bass guitar design. They feature a longer scale on the bass side of the instrument and a shorter scale on the treble side, ensuring improved intonation and consistent tension and attack across all strings. While adapting to them might seem daunting at first, the transition is surprisingly natural. Moreover, the superior intonation, consistent string tension, and enhanced tonal clarity outweigh any differences from traditional basses.
Delivering rich, balanced tones The Bartolini BH2 pickups on the Bass Workshop EHB1005SMS strike an excellent balance between clarity and depth. They offer richness and warmth in the midrange along with deep low-end presence that remains articulate. Featuring long-blade pole pieces, these dual-coil pickups provide noise-free single-coil-like character and reliability. With the 3-band EQ, you can sculpt your EHB1005SMS's tone precisely to your liking, offering a wide range of frequency adjustments on each band. Additionally, a 3-way midrange switch allows you to tailor the instrument's presence, whether you prefer a rounded R&B thump or a sharp thumb-technique punch.
Optimizing definition and sustain The Ibanez MR5HS bridge enhances both the definition and sustain of the Premium EHB1005SMS. Unlike traditional single-body bridges, the Mono-rail saddles are individually isolated, minimizing sympathetic vibration and preventing unused strings from resonating. Moreover, each saddle is securely double-anchored, facilitating efficient energy transfer between the string and the body. As a result, bassists are praising the EHB1005SMS for its remarkable clarity and sustain.
