Ibanez EHB1505MS 5‑String Headless Multiscale Bass – Pacific Blue Burst Flat
A Cutting‑Edge Headless Multiscale Bass for the Modern Player
The Ibanez EHB1505MS is a premium, forward‑thinking instrument built for bassists who demand ergonomic comfort, tonal versatility and exceptional clarity across a multiscale layout. Finished in a stunning Pacific Blue Burst Flat, this headless bass blends sleek aesthetics with highly advanced engineering – perfect for players who perform long sets, tour frequently or explore technical, progressive or experimental music.
With its chambered, ultra‑lightweight body and modern electronics, the EHB1505MS delivers expressive playability and cutting‑edge performance that puts it at the top tier of contemporary bass design.
Premium Neck Construction for Stability & Sustain
A 9‑piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck forms the foundation of the EHB1505MS, offering superb stability, excellent note attack and rich sustain – reinforced by graphite rods for unwavering rigidity in any climate or tuning environment.
The bound Panga Panga fretboard adds tight low‑end, clear mids and a defined high‑end edge, while the medium stainless‑steel frets provide durability, smooth feel and clean articulation across all 24 frets.
The multiscale design (35"-33") naturally balances string tension, tightening the low B while offering flexibility and comfort on the higher strings.
Poplar Burl Top & Select African Mahogany Body
A striking Poplar Burl top provides boutique‑grade visuals, while the lightweight African Mahogany body adds warmth, resonance and tonal richness. The chambered construction makes the instrument significantly lighter without sacrificing sustain or tonal depth – ideal for long rehearsals or high‑intensity live shows.
Nordstrand Big Split Custom Pickups for Powerful, Dynamic Tone
The EHB1505MS features Nordstrand Big Split Custom pickups, engineered for punchy mids, rich lows and smooth highs with hum‑cancelling performance. Their hybrid P/J‑inspired character offers a wide, balanced tonal range that suits everything from modern gospel to prog metal, funk to fusion.
Paired with the Vari‑Mid 3‑band EQ, including a variable mid‑frequency control and EQ bypass switch, the EHB1505MS gives you ultimate control over your sound – from articulate slap tones to thick, growling low‑end textures.
