Boutique Feel, Forward-Thinking Design
The Ibanez BTB605LM-BKF Bass Workshop model delivers boutique-level construction and innovative design at an accessible price point. Finished in sleek Black Flat, this 5-string multiscale bass is built for serious players seeking extended range, superior sustain, and modern tonal flexibility.
Its neck-through construction and Okoume wing body create a resonant, well-balanced instrument with excellent projection, clarity, and long sustain – perfect for demanding live and studio environments.
Multiscale Performance and Advanced Tone
The 35–34 inch multiscale design ensures optimal string tension, providing a tighter low B response while maintaining effortless playability on higher strings. The 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck, reinforced with graphite rods, enhances stability and attack, while the rosewood fretboard adds warmth and midrange focus.
Equipped with Ibanez T1 pickups, this bass delivers a powerful, articulate tone with flexible voicing. The unique dual-coil design allows for precise tonal adjustments, while the ergonomic shape improves comfort during extended sessions. The Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ, EQ bypass, and 3-way mid frequency switch provide extensive tone-shaping control.
