10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Bold Bartolini pickups

Equipped on this Ibanez bass is a duo of Bartolini BH2 pickups - game-changers for bass players seeking a versatile sound with tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. These electronics feature a dual-coil style configuration that maximises articulation, ensuring every note is heard clearly and distinctly. The long blade pole piece further enhances the pickups' performance by widening the magnetic field, which results in a balanced string-to-string pickup response. With the BH2 pickups, you can achieve a wide range of tones, making it an excellent choice for various genres and playing styles.

For added versatility, this bass features a 3-band EQ, which offers simplicity and precision in tone shaping, providing a no-nonsense approach to crafting your ideal sound. Its boost and cut options for the mid control focus on slightly different frequencies, an innovative feature that delivers a preset range of the most favourable bass tones. Furthermore, the 3-way mid frequency switch allows you to fine-tune your mid-tones between 250, 450, and 700 Hz. This level of customisation ensures you can find your unique voice.

Hit every note with precision

Discover an exceptional playability attributed to thoughtful design elements. The inclusion of a detachable finger ramp offers a comfortable experience while fingerpicking, allowing for greater precision and ease during performances. This innovative feature not only enhances the overall playing experience but also encourages you to explore various techniques and styles, further expanding your musical repertoire.

The neck-through construction of the BTB also contributes to its impressive playability. By seamlessly integrating the neck and body, this design method provides massive sustain and facilitates smooth access to high fretboard positions. Its 5-piece maple/walnut neck, combined with a rosewood fingerboard, ensures a comfortable playing experience across all registers, whilst the satin finish on and weathered black colour adds a touch of elegance. With its carefully designed features and attention to detail, the BTB truly stands out.

Perfect sound transfer

This bass comes designed with a MR5 Mono-Rail V bridge, an essential component of the BTB for unparalleled string isolation and performance. This innovative bridge design features individual saddles for each string, which are independently and securely locked down to the body. This unique construction ensures maximum vibration transfer without interference between strings, resulting in improved clarity, sustain, and overall tonal quality. By isolating each string's vibrations, the MR5 bridge allows you to achieve precise and articulate sounds, making it an ideal choice for musicians seeking optimal playability and sonic excellence in their instrument.

Added strings for extended sonic capabilities

A 6-string bass offers a wider range of tonal possibilities and extended playability. With its expanded frequency range, this design allows you to delve into both lower and higher registers, providing the opportunity to explore more intricate chord voicings, harmonics, and melodic lines. The additional strings also encourage creativity in composition and arrangement, as they enable a broader variety of playing techniques, such as tapping, slapping, and fingerpicking. Furthermore, the extended neck and increased fretboard real estate make it an ideal choice for soloists, as well as bassists who want to push the boundaries of their instrument.
