Ibanez EHB1505MS Headless 5 String Bass Black Ice Flat B-Stock

B-Stock means this bass is fully functional with a small cosmetic chip on the upper horn; there is zero impact on playability, tone, or durability. All electronics, hardware, and construction are identical to new units.

The multi-scale design automatically balances string tension across the fretboard, so each string feels naturally responsive without needing to adjust technique. Intermediate to advanced players typically adapt quickly, and the 45mm nut width and 24 medium stainless steel frets support both comfortable fretting and fast movement.

The Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ includes an EQ bypass switch, letting you run the Nordstrand pickups in pure passive mode for organic tone when you want it, then engage the EQ for shaping on other songs or sessions.

The EHB1505MS excels in Rock, Metal, Funk, and Progressive contexts where articulate, punchy tone and fast intonation are essential. It is not voiced for Folk or Country applications.

The bass ships with a detachable finger ramp and is factory-tuned to G-D-A-E-B with .045, .065, .080, .100, and .130 gauge strings. The Schaller S-Locks and MR5HS bridge are installed and ready to play.
