Pro-Level Performance – The Ibanez EHB1506MSABL Ergonomic Headless 6-String Multi Scale Bass with Bag in Antique Brown Stained Low Gloss

Without a doubt, your instrument should reflect the dedication you place in your musicianship and creative endeavors. At a certain point, the word “boutique” comes to mind when you’re looking for pro-level performance: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously combined into a stunning pro-level instrument. But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That’s where Ibanez comes in with the ability to build small-shop quality, inspiring yet affordable instruments showcased by BTB series basses.

For more than 40 years, the Ibanez Bass Workshop has pioneered frontiers in bass development, pushing the boundaries of conventional designs to bass players of all styles, affording avenues of expression and creativity. This spirit of exploration has led to the creation of some of the most successful and popular production basses of all time. Following this same drive to bring relevant ideas to the musical forefront is what serves as the basis for this ongoing project, dubbed the Ibanez Bass Workshop.

Ergonomic Design, Custom Appointments

The EHB’s headless construction, contoured body, ergonomic design, and chambered body make for a lightweight and comfortable instrument thats excellent for long sets or practice sessions. This series also sports a combination of high-quality tone woods and versatile electronics, resulting in a cutting-edge, ultra-modern bass, capable of cutting though the complex landscape of tones required for today’s bassist.

Slanted Body Back

The top half of the back of the body is slanted which allows the bass to rest slightly closer to the players body for better control and a more ergonomic feel.

Comfortably Rounded Body Edge and Chambered Body

Its contoured, ergonomic design and chambered body make for a lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable instrument thats excellent for long sets or practice session.

Poplar Burl Top and Selected Light Weight African Mahogany Body

A stunning Poplar Burl top and a selected light weight African Mahogany body provides a warm tone with rich resonance.

Scooped Cut on the Body Back

There is extra carving on the back of the body behind the lower horn for easier upper fret access.

9-Piece Panga Panga/Walnut Neck with Graphite Reinforcement Rods

The 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck provides superior note attack, tight lows and increased sustain with the Panga Panga fretboard.

Luminescent Side Dot Inlays

Luminescent side dot inlay provides clear visibility in dark environments.

Nordstrand Big Split Custom Pickups

The single-coil Nordstrand Big Split pickups feature split coils with hum cancelling construction for less noise. Its tone character is a hybrid P/J style and provides a rich and strong, yet well-balanced tone, which fits well with various kinds of playing styles.

Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with EQ Bypass Switch

The Vari-mid 3-band EQ features a variable mid-frequency control which allows you to dial in an incredibly wide range of sounds. There is also an EQ bypass switch for passive operation with the treble control acting as a passive tone control when the EQ is bypassed.

MR5HS Mono Rail Bridge with String Spacing Adjustable Saddles

The MR5HS bridge is designed especially for the EHB basses and features wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently and securely attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer, and the saddles are adjustable for string spacing +/-1.5mm, answering every bassists individual string spacing demands, no matter what playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action.

Strap Locks

Schaller S-Lock strap lock pins and a Neutrik locking jack hold the strap and cable securely.

Detachable Finger Ramp
