BTB7E 7-String Electric Bass Guitar

Ibanez's "Beyond The Boundaries" line of BTB basses adds its boldest member yet, BTB7E. By adding a higher "F" to their 6-string configuration, they've given the bassist even more of what BTB is all about rich sonic response, a wide range of musical possibility, as well as comfort & playability that never ceases to amaze. State-of-the-art manufacturing and artful instrument design commingle in this incredible bass. It is for the exploring musician, the bassist whose harmonic imagination years to evolve upward into monophonic tonalities and harmonies that most basses cannot satisfy.

35" Scale Neck
The BTB's extra-long 35-inch neck scale offers tight, even tension with no flopping on the low end, and added sustain on the high strings. It also provides superior articulation.

Neck-Thru Construction
Neck-thru construction provides massive sustain and excellent stability.

Deep Cutaway
The BTB's much deeper cutaways allow effortless access to the upper frets.

Mono-Rail Bridge
The Mono-Rail bridge delivers the ultimate in string-to-string isolation, meaning that each string vibrates optimally without be affected by the others. BTB's string spacing is 19mm for 5-strings, and 17mm for 6-strings, offering more freedom on the fretboard, and comfortable access for finger picking and slapping.

Bartolini Pickups
Balancing clarity with warmth is the hallmark of the new Bartolini pickup. Coils with lower resonant frequency provide tighter bottom end and full midrange. Also, the dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation. A long blade polepiece widens the magnetic field, therefore, whether five-string or six, sound level is balanced by the ultra-precise vibration reaction of the longer coils.

3-band EQ w/Mid Frequency Switch
3-band EQ with mid frequency switch fine-tuned specifically for the BTB. The active 3-Band EQ features fully independent bass, treble, and mid Controls with a wide boost/cut range. The preamp system is equipped with a mid-frequency select switch, enabling you to instantly select 250Hz and 600Hz - the heart of the mid zone - for a more dynamic and ideal tone.
