The concepts behind boutique basses are often the justification for making them extremely expensive. With the advent of the BTB however, Ibanez decided that these same concepts of well-selected body materials, 35" neck scale, and deep cutaways could be applied to an instrument that anyone could afford.
Product Ref: 11363
All the BTBs feature neck-thru construction and deeper cutaways for enhanced playability and balance.
Over the past 30 years, Ibanez has always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for players pushing the boundaries of music. For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most dynamic instruments ever.
Ibanez basses have been used on some of modern rock's most poignant albums of recent years. The preferred instruments of many awe inspiring bass players, amongst them Fieldy from Korn, Paul Gray from Slipknot and Peter Iwers of In Flames, Ibanez Basses continue to be the first stop for learners and professionals alike, no matter what musical genre they exist in.
Relatively new faces on the metal scene such as Karin Axelsson of Sonic Syndicate and Matt Snell of Five Finger Death Punch are also using Ibanez Bass Guitars to steer them to success. They are even the preferred choice of bass guitars for 2006 Eurovision dominators LORDI. With an artist roster growing in size and a presence on some of the most memorable albums in recent history Ibanez basses are truly the best choice for budding Bassists of all skill levels.
Bartolini MK2 Pickups and EQ
The MK2 pickups are quad coil designs. The Neck pickup tone is very deep and the Bridge pickup tone is bright, just like the US made pickups. They are also balanced for output so that the deep tone Neck pickup does not overpower the Bridge pickup. The MK2 electronics compliments and enhances their wide tonal range.
Neck-Thru Construction
Neck-thru construction on the BTBseries provides massive sustain and playing comfort.
