Ibanez BTB705LM-NNF, Natural Browned Burst Flat

Full Description

Unique wood combination

Crafted with a 5-piece Maple and Walnut neck, the BTB705MS Bass guitar offers superior note attack, tight lows, and increased sustain. The addition of Graphite reinforcement rods ensures exceptional stability and massive sustain, making this bass guitar a force to be reckoned with. With its eye-catching flamed maple top, the BTB705LM boasts a beautiful wood grain that adds a touch of elegance to its appearance. The combination of ash and okoume wing body not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to a pleasant brightness and rich sustain.

Multi-scale neck

The BTB705MS Bass features a 35-34 inch multi-scale construction, allowing for effortless playability across all strings. The higher strings are easier to play, while maintaining adequate tension for the lower strings. This innovative design ensures optimal comfort and performance, making it a dream to play for bassists of all levels.

Smooth, natural playing

The Rosewood fretboard offers a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid-range. It provides a smooth playing surface that allows for effortless navigation across the fretboard, making complex basslines a breeze. Equipped with Medium Stainless Steel frets, the BTB705MS guarantees durability and longevity. These frets are designed to withstand the test of time, delivering consistent playability and tonal clarity for years to come. Its neck-through construction increases sustain whilst also offering easy access to the higher frets, making this bass a total all-rounder.

Versatile electronics

The T1 pickups are humbuckers with two separate, individually mounted coils. These pickups provide a tight bass response, punchy mid-range, and clear high-end. With the ability to adjust the height of each coil individually, you have complete control over the tone of your bass. Its Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ allows for precise tonal shaping. You can also activate the passive-only operation, cutting out the EQ circuit and allowing you to fine-tune your bass tone even further. Plus, the 3-way Mid frequency switch on the BTB705MS you can choose between 250, 450, and 700 Hz, tailoring your mid-range frequencies to suit your style and genre. No matter if you prefer a warm, rounded mid-tone or a punchier, focused sound, your bass can cut through the mix with clarity.
