The Ibanez BTB845 5-string bass is a striking instrument that captivates with its aesthetic appeal and demands to be played. Its poplar burl top boasts a luxurious appearance, reminiscent of high-end collector's items, but with a more accessible price tag. Once you hold the BTB845, you'll appreciate its comfortably contoured multilayer body, the robustness of its neck-through construction, and the impressive performance of its electronics.
This bass features a layered ash-over-okoume wing design beneath the poplar burl top, with a solid 5-piece maple and walnut neck that extends through the full length of the instrument. The 5-piece Mono-rail V bridge ensures exceptional sustain and optimal string-to-string isolation, enhancing the clarity delivered by the Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups. The 3-band active EQ allows for precise tonal adjustments, giving you the flexibility to craft your desired bass sound. Additionally, premium details such as a stainless steel zero-fret and a locking output jack elevate the playability of this beautiful bass.
The Bartolini BH2 pickups provide a well-rounded tone with clarity and depth. These pickups offer a complex and warm midrange, along with a rich low-end that maintains clarity without becoming muddy. The long-blade pole pieces ensure these dual-coil pickups deliver a consistent, hum-free single-coil-style sound.
The 3-band EQ on the BTB845 offers extensive frequency-range adjustments for each band, along with a 3-way midrange switch to fine-tune your instrument's presence. Whether you’re aiming for a smooth R&B sound or a punchy tone for thumb techniques, the BTB845 can deliver.
The neck-through design, with its roots tracing back to early innovations by Les Paul and Rickenbacker, is known for its superior sustain. The BTB845 utilizes this design to its fullest potential, featuring an ultra-stable 5-piece maple and walnut neck. This construction allows for exceptional sustain and tonal balance, providing a richer and more resonant sound that you can feel through the entire instrument.
The Mono-rail V bridge is a key component in the BTB845's performance. Unlike single-body bridges, each saddle in the Mono-rail V bridge is independent, reducing sympathetic vibrations and preventing unwanted string ringing. Each saddle is also double anchored, ensuring efficient energy transfer between the string and the body, resulting in remarkable clarity and sustain.
The Ibanez BTB845 is an exceptional bass that combines stunning looks, superior playability, and a versatile tonal palette, making it a standout choice for any bassist.
