Ibanez MDM1605-DTW Mode 5-String Electric Bass, Deep Twilight
Contemporary Style, Expanded Performance
The Ibanez MDM1605-DTW from the evolving Mode Series delivers a refined blend of classic bass inspiration and cutting-edge design. Finished in the striking Deep Twilight, its poplar burl top adds a visually rich aesthetic, while the alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation with excellent resonance and sustain.
Built for modern players, this 5-string bass offers the versatility and playability needed for both traditional grooves and more technical, expressive performances.
Smooth Playability with Modern Ergonomics
The roasted maple neck ensures long-term stability, durability, and resistance to environmental changes, offering a reliable and comfortable playing experience. Its streamlined profile makes it easy to move across the fretboard, even during complex passages.
The rosewood fretboard contributes warmth and midrange focus, while medium stainless steel frets provide durability and precise note articulation. The specially designed MDM body shape enhances overall balance, and the Super All Access Neck Joint allows effortless access to higher frets.
Advanced Electronics for Precision Tone Shaping
Loaded with Delta S5J pickups, the MDM1605 delivers a powerful, articulate tone with tight lows, punchy mids, and clear highs. This makes it highly adaptable for both live and studio environments.
The Ibanez Sonitech S Preamp offers a versatile 3-band EQ with dual mid-range banks, allowing detailed tonal shaping. The innovative Hexa Mid system provides six selectable mid frequencies, giving you deep control over your sound.
A push/pull EQ bypass switch allows instant switching to passive mode, while the MR5S bridge offers adjustable string spacing to fine-tune playing feel. Aero-light machine heads reduce overall weight and improve balance, enhancing comfort during long performances.
