At a Glance
The Ibanez EHB1505MS is a versatile 5-string bass designed to capture transparent, sculpted modern tones in the studio while remaining equally at home in progressive and funk sessions. Its Nordstrand Big Split pickups, multi-scale geometry, and Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with bypass switch let you dial in articulate, natural response or shape your tone with surgical precision in the mix. The B-Stock condition—light cosmetic wear on the back edge—has zero impact on recording performance, and the savings make this a smart choice for serious home and project studios.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will the cosmetic imperfections affect how this bass plays or sounds?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional and carries manufacturer warranty; it shows only light cosmetic dents on the back edge from handling. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
How does the multi-scale design benefit my playing?
The multi-scale spans 35″ (889mm) on the low B string to 33″ (838mm) on the G string, providing ideal string tension and even tone response across all five strings. This geometry makes the bass more ergonomic to play seated or standing and improves intonation consistency.
Can I dial in a classic passive bass tone, or is this an active-only instrument?
The Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ includes an EQ bypass switch that lets you access transparent, classic passive bass response instantly. The treble pot also functions as a passive tone control when the EQ is disengaged, giving you immediate access to both modern and traditional voicings.
What pickup configuration does this bass use?
The EHB1505MS uses a pair of Nordstrand Custom Big Split passive pickups with hum-canceling design. They deliver articulate, full-range tone that can be shaped from transparent and natural to sculpted and modern via the Vari-Mid EQ.
Will I have visibility issues on dark stages?
No—the fingerboard includes luminescent side dots in addition to offset abalone dot position markers, ensuring clear visibility in any lighting condition.
