Nordstrand pickups
This bold bass delivers fantastic tone and incredible articulation, and this is mostly owed to the exceptional pair of Nordstrand Big Break pickups. Offering complete dynamic sensitivity and tonal versatility, this premium instrument can offer a whole array of sounds to allow you to excel in every facet of your performance. This is paired with a three band EQ which provides you all the capabilities you need to sculpt this sound to perfectly suit your style.
Confidence in construction
Ibanez excel in producing instruments ready to rock and this is no exception. At the forefront is flamed maple, bubinga top & back, and an ash body, all of which collectively produce a full-bodied sound with the maple excelling at delivering brightness, whilst the ash consolidates the full spectrum of sounds. Sculpted for comfort, the lightweight design means that the playability is upheld, ensuring minimal strain while you play. An MR5HS bridge works in unison with Gotoh® machine heads to uphold every accuracy in your tuning, maintaining optimal string tension for every performance.
