Ibanez BTB605MS-MAM 5 Strings Multiscale Electric Bass Guitar-Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte (BTB605MS)

The Ibanez BTB605MS is a premium 5-string multi-scale electric bass designed for players seeking superior tone, playability, and modern aesthetics. Featuring a multi-scale neck (37” low B to 35” G string), it ensures balanced string tension, enhanced clarity, and improved intonation across the fretboard.

It boasts a neck-through-body design with a 5-piece maple/walnut neck reinforced with graphite rods for exceptional stability and sustain. The Okoume body wings provide a warm, resonant tone while keeping the instrument lightweight and comfortable. The bound Panga Panga fretboard with abalone dot inlays complements the bass's boutique vibe. A zero fret adds consistency to the open notes, matching their tone to fretted ones.

Equipped with Ibanez T1 passive humbucking pickups and a versatile Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, the BTB605MS offers a wide range of tones, from punchy lows to articulate highs. The onboard EQ bypass switch and 3-way mid-frequency selector (250Hz, 450Hz, 750Hz) allow precise tonal shaping for various genres and playing styles. A MR5S bridge with 18mm string spacing offers individual saddle adjustments for intonation and string height, catering to fingerstyle, slap, and pick players alike. Finished in a striking Cerulean Aura Burst Matte, it’s both a sonic and visual standout.
