Ibanez EHB1505-SWL, Stained Wine Red Low Gloss

Full Description

Pulverizing Tone from Nordstrand

The EHB1505 is performance assured with Nordstrand's Big Split pickups. Explore a rich tonal palate that ranges from terrifying lows to pronounced highs, all whilst containing unruly frequencies. That means less unwanted noise, and more clarity.

The EHB1505 is perfect for any style of playing. Its hybrid timbre is easily adjustable too, utilising and EQ bypass switch for passive control on the treble pot. Dial your sound further with the vari-mid 3 band EQ for that added touch of nuance.

It's easy to see why Ibanez have teamed up with Nordstrand for the EHB1505. Built from a shared ethos of innovation, the pickups and bass design work hand in hand to deliver an iconic sound that will cut through any mix.

The Future of Design

Ibanez aren't content with just doing what's already been done. They strive for creative revolution, pushing the boundaries of traditional bass playing. The EHB1505 is no exception. Take your bass on stage or to the studio, and never worry about knocking your tuning. Ibanez have found the key to flawless tuning stability, and it all starts at the top of the neck. The headless design ensures rigid intonation, pitch perfect tuning, and enhanced playability that will elevate your abilities.

The EHB1505 promises maximum vibration transfer, wide intonation range, and smooth tuning action from the MR5HS bridge. Built especially for the EHB bass series, each independent bridge piece is attached directly to the body, raising the bar even further. Meet every demand of your string spacing needs. The adjustable saddle and +/-1.5mm spacing is the answer you've been waiting for.

It's not all just about fancy new hardware and game changing design. Ibanez know that the fundamentals of bass are just as important. The EHB1505 feels like Excalibur in your hands. Lightweight, and born for true expression. Sculpted from African mahogany, panga panga, and walnut, the neck and body seamlessly integrate for unhindered playability. Its smooth curves are ergonomic, strain-free, and give you full access to every aspect of your bass.

Strong and Sturdy

The EHB1505 is built to handle the extreme conditions of playing live. Ibanez have crafted a 9pc neck with graphite reinforcement rods. This prevents warping, bowing, and breakages when you're on the road.

In addition to naturally stable hardwoods, the EHB1505 boasts heat-treated tolerance for unparalleled protection against temperature fluctuations. No matter how humid, cold, or adverse your playing environment might be, your bass won't suffer, and neither will you.

With Ibanez, you get the finer details. Play with confidence thanks to S-Lock strap lock pins. No accidents. No damages. No surprises. That's why a durable gig bag is included, completely free of charge.
