BTB 20th Anniversary BTB20TH6 6-String Electric Bass

It was 1999 when Ibanez launched the BTB bass. Now, Ibanez celebrates with the 20th anniversary of the BTB by introducing the fantastic BTB20TH6 anniversary model.

One of the hallmarks of the BTB is the beautiful combination of select-grade materials. The BTB20TH6 has a Maple/Walnut neck with a Panga Panga fretboard, a Flamed Maple top and an Ash and Okume body. The BTB20TH6 has neck-through construction, providing massive sustain and excellent stability.

The Panga Panga fretboard has an exotic grain and produces a tight low and mid range with a sharp high end attack. The stainless steel frets, well known for bright tone and long durability, are carefully installed on the beautiful fingerboard. The BTB also features a zero fret to provide accurate intonation while allowing open strings to ring with the same resonance as notes played higher up the neck.

Nordstrand Big Single pickups, paired with the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, equip the BTB20TH6 anniversary model. The Nordstrand "Big Single" is as big and meaty as a single coil soapbar-style pickup can be, and produces a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil pickups. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with 3-way mid-frequency switch offers tonal variations that enhance simple chord work as well as complex soloing.

The Mono-rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each string’s bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
