Philosophy of the Bass Workshop Series

The BTB is part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop series, which has been pioneering new directions in bass design for over 40 years. The aim of the series is to develop instruments tailored to the diverse demands of modern players. The BTB embodies that mission by combining innovative technology with practical, player-focused design.

Neck Construction for Stability and Sustain

Equipped with a 5-piece maple and walnut neck plus an added graphite reinforcement, the BTB delivers maximum stability. This construction ensures a clear attack across the entire fingerboard and supports long, even sustain. The rosewood fingerboard provides focused midrange, while the medium stainless steel frets impress with their durability.

Okoume Body for a Solid Fundamental Tone

The Okoume body wings produce a bright, solid fundamental sound. The result is a balanced tonal foundation that offers both clarity and punch.

T1 Humbuckers with Wide Tonal Range

The innovative T1 humbuckers feature individually mounted, independently adjustable coils. This design enables an exceptional tonal palette. Additionally, the pickups' pleasantly rounded edges increase playing comfort and provide an ergonomic thumb rest.

Flexible Tone Control and Hardware

The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ lets you shape the sound precisely. The 3-way mid frequency switch further expands the tonal options, while the EQ bypass allows for a direct signal path. The MR5S bridge also provides adjustable string spacing, letting you tailor the feel to your preference.

Multiscale Scale Length and Neck-Through Construction

The 35-34 inch multiscale setup makes the high strings easier to play while keeping sufficient tension on the low strings. Combined with the neck-through construction, it yields a bass with powerful sustain and effortless access to the upper registers.

Thoughtful Overall Package

The Ibanez BTB bass brings together innovative technology, premium materials and practical design into a coherent, professional instrument. It delivers pro-level features, flexible tone shaping and high playability in a combination that offers boutique quality without the typical high price tag.
