Ibanez EHB1505SMSFNL EHB Workshop Headless Multiscale Electric Bass in Florid Natural Low Gloss including Gigbag!

For over 40 years, Ibanez has been a pioneer in bass development. They have pushed the boundaries of conventional designs for bassists of all styles and created new expressive possibilities. This spirit of discovery has led to the creation of some of the best, most successful, and most popular basses of all time. With this experience and knowledge, Ibanez has developed ultimately ergonomic basses, the EHB basses, distinguished by their well-considered headless design.

The headless construction and specially designed EHB body allow the player to maintain a similar playing position whether sitting or standing. The contoured, ergonomic design and chambered body provide a lightweight, balanced, and comfortable instrument, perfect for long sets or practice sessions. Additionally, the upper half of the body back is beveled so the bass sits closer to the player's body for better control and a more ergonomic feel.

The EHB1505 features a body made of lightweight African mahogany and a 9-piece neck of Panga Panga and walnut for balanced tone and clear attack. Durable stainless steel frets emphasize brightness and resist rust. Luminescent side dot inlays ensure clear visibility in dark environments, and the truss rod adjustment is located at the neck heel for easy access.

The Nordstrand Big Split single-coil pickups have split coils to reduce hum. Their tonal character is a hybrid P/J style, offering a rich and powerful yet balanced sound that suits various playing styles. The Vari-Mid 3-band EQ features a variable mid-frequency control, allowing you to select an incredibly wide range of tones. 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.

The MR5HS bridge was specially designed for EHB basses and offers a wide intonation range. Each saddle is independently and securely mounted to the body to ensure maximum vibration transfer. The saddles are adjustable for string spacing by +/- 1.5 mm, meeting every bassist's string spacing preference regardless of playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuner to ensure smooth tuning.

Schaller S-Lock strap buttons and a Neutrik locking jack keep the strap and cable secure, and each instrument comes with a detachable finger ramp and a gigbag.
