This. Axe. Is. Bold. The BTB845 is the definition of swagger. And it’s easy to see why. With two Bartolini pickups on board, you’ll be playing all your favourite riffs with even more oomph. The BH2 single coils promise tight bottom end with a smooth response. Easily go from clean and pristine to dirty and distorted without muddying your mid-range. Thanks to a long blade pole piece, the magnetic field of each pickup is widened, maximising articulation and dynamic expression. In short, your basslines will be full of character with plenty of string-to-string response.
Versatility redefined. The BTB845 brings more to metal. Ibanez have introduced advanced electronics to their flagship bass. And the results are obvious. Effortless tonal sculpting that is equal parts simplistic and powerful. Take a look for yourself. Tweak you EQ with a 3-band equaliser that promises no nonsense control. Just great tone. Cut your bass, boost your mids, or balance your treble. It couldn’t be easier. All controls are in one convenient to reach place, right next to your volume control. No more running across the stage to your amp. It’s all at your fingertips. Now reach out and take it.
And that’s exactly what sets the BTB845 apart from the rest. Ibanez have thought of every aspect, meticulously designing this signature bass with excellence in mind. From the poplar burl top to the jatoba fretboard, each tonewood has been expertly selected for great feel and tone. The MR5 bridge ensures maximum string isolation, giving every note its own charisma. Not to mention keeping everything perfectly in tune. But whilst the BTB845 sounds hardcore, it plays with ease. Shred all night long on a maple/walnut neck that’s been sculpted for strain-free finger positioning. Whether it’s the pristine fret edge treatment, the adjustable saddles, or the stunning aesthetic, you know that this axe was built for the player who demands the best.
