★BTB “Boutique Bass” w/Multi Scale
A natural low-gloss finish has been added to the BTB Multi-Scale model!!

〜Features〜
A through-neck construction that combines long sustain and rich resonance with high rigidity
A 5-piece neck combining maple—known for its clear tone and attack—with hard walnut.
Rigidity is enhanced by a graphite rod installed inside the neck.
The long sustain and rich resonance provided by the through-neck construction, along with the seamless playing feel across the entire fretboard, are arguably the greatest features of BTB basses.

5th string: 37” ~ 1st string: 35” Extra-Long Multi-Scale
By setting the scale length of the low-B string (5th string) to 37”, the low-string side offers a stronger sense of tension than the standard BTB model, delivering exceptional clarity and a solid, core-filled sound when tuned down.
This is the most extreme multi-scale design among Ibanez basses, offering significant advantages for technical fingering, particularly in the higher fret range. (Note: This requires practice and getting used to, and may not be suitable for all players or playing styles.)

Poplar burl top, okoume and ash laminated wing body
The wing-shaped body, which wraps around the neck, features a laminated construction combining ash—known for its bright, clear sound—with okoume, which is rich in mid-to-low frequencies, and a poplar top with distinctive burl grain.
The deeply cutaway body style contributes to playability in the higher positions, and the shape and design of the horns are engineered to ensure excellent balance when playing standing up.

Ibanez T1 Pickup
This is an original humbucker consisting of two separate coils, designed to deliver a sound with tight low-end response, punchy mids, and clear highs.
The rounded cover edges make it easy to rest your fingers, and by slightly offsetting the ends of the two pickups so that they are nearly parallel to the strings, it offers a level of playability not found in other multi-scale models.

MR5S (Monorail) Bridge with String Spacing Adjustment Mechanism
Each string has its own independent bridge, transmitting string vibration directly to the body.
Additionally, the saddles can be moved ±1.5 mm left and right, allowing you to freely adjust the string spacing within a certain range.

Active 3-band EQ & EQ bypass switch equipped with a 3-pattern mid-range frequency selector
This equalizer produces a wide-range, low-noise active sound, and the switch allows you to select mid-range frequencies at 250 Hz, 450 Hz, or 700 Hz.
It also features an EQ bypass switch, allowing it to be used as a passive bass. (When bypassed: tone control via the Treble knob) (Powered by a 006P battery)

Zero fret designed to ensure accurate intonation and minimize the difference between open and fretted notes

Stainless steel frets characterized by a bright tone and high durability

Neutrik jacks with a locking mechanism to prevent the plug from falling out

D’Addario NYXL strings (NYXLB045, NYXLB055, NYXLB080, NYXLB100MS, NYXLB130MS)

Includes a dedicated hard-shell case (not for sale)
