BTB685SC Terra Firma with Bartolini Pickups 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

If you're looking for that new bass tool to enrich your creative palette, The Ibanez Bass Workshop may have built your next instrument. This new product group focuses on combining unusual concepts with the bass-building virtuosity on which Ibanez has built its reputation.

Endless sustain may be the most over used catch-phrase in the bass business, but curb the cynicism: The BTB Terra Firma (BTB685SCNTF) gets you as close to that physically impossible objective as youre ever going to get without electronic gimmickry. But sustain is only half the story. A longer 35" scale ensures plenty of tension on those 5th and 6th strings. Thru-neck design, Bartolini BH1 pickups, and the unique approach of the Mono-Rail II bridgewhich isolates each string as if it had its own separate mini-bridgecome together to deliver sonic richness throughout the instruments frequency range. The Ibanez EQIIIS 3-band EQ with mid-frequency switching, ensures youll easily find the tonal sweet-spot you need in any given musical situation.
