. Description
Sound & Tone
The extended 37" low B and neck-through build give this five-string a tight, defined bottom end with long sustain, so low notes stay articulate rather than turning muddy. The dual T1 humbuckers, 3-band EQ and mid-sweep cover a wide range from clean and transparent to thick and aggressive, while the stainless steel frets and Panga Panga fingerboard add a crisp attack. It suits progressive rock and metal, fusion, and modern session work where extended-range clarity and fast, precise fingerstyle or slap lines matter.
Ibanez BTB805MS Multiscale Bass in Trans Gray Flat
The BTB805MS delivers a distinctive recording and tracking experience defined by its multiscale fretboard and ergonomic neck-through construction. This is a serious five-string instrument engineered for the precise intonation and articulate low-end response that translates clearly through the mix in production work.
Construction & Tone Character
Neck-through design with a poplar burl top on ash and okoume wings ensures rigidity and sustain—critical for capturing note definition and body in the mix. The graphite-reinforced maple and walnut neck resists seasonal movement, maintaining tuning stability across long sessions. The T1 Humbucker pickups paired with a 3-band EQ, mid-frequency sweep switch, and bypass function deliver flexible tonal shaping from transparent and focused to aggressive and present—the locking Neutrik stereo output jack guarantees reliable, noise-free signal integrity into your interface or preamp chain.
Playing Feel & Session Versatility
The Panga Panga fingerboard with abalone dot inlays feels smooth and durable under the fingers, supporting both aggressive palm-muted articulation and precision fingerstyle work across extended tracking takes. The 24 medium stainless steel frets handle complex bass lines and quick position shifts with minimal dead spots. The MR5S bridge with 18mm string spacing provides tuning stability and accommodates the multiscale geometry, and the 47mm plastic nut is properly proportioned for a five-string bass. Factory-gauged strings (.045–.130MS) are optimized for standard tuning (G–D–A–E–B) and ready for immediate session deployment.
