IbanezBass Workshop BTB605MS 5-String Electric Bass Guitar - Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The BTB605MS is a five-string Bass Workshop bass with a 35–37 inch multi-scale layout and neck-through construction. Its T1 humbuckers work with a 3-band EQ, mid-frequency selector, and bypass mode, giving you several controls to set before a recording or performance. The individually mounted dual coils have adjustable height for string-balance adjustment. A graphite-reinforced maple/walnut neck, panga panga fingerboard, and MR5S bridge make this an instrument with multiple setup variables to work with; an Ibanez hardshell case is supplied.
