Description
Sound & Tone
The passive P-style neck pickup and Jazz bridge pickup give this bass two familiar voices to blend: thick low-mid punch and fundamental weight from the neck position, and a tighter, more articulate growl when you favor the bridge. The agathis body with spalted maple top and 34-inch maple-neck construction keeps notes clear and defined, while the Phat II EQ's active bass boost adds extra low-end heft when a track calls for it. It's a natural fit for rock, pop, and funk, with 24 frets and 19mm string spacing at the B10 bridge leaving room for fingerstyle, slap, and higher-register runs.

This straightforward bass combines genuine Ibanez hardware and electronics with dependable playability, making it a solid foundation for session work without sacrificing build quality or tonal character in the mix.
Recording & Playability
The double-cutaway design pairs a maple neck with an agathis body topped with spalted maple, reducing hand fatigue during intensive tracking or overdubs. A 34-inch scale length combined with 24 frets on a jatoba fretboard with white dot markers and side dots enables precise intonation and quick position work across genres, and the B10 bridge with 19mm string spacing accommodates modern playing dynamics with solid sustain and reliable tracking through takes.
Tone & Electronics
The pair of Ibanez passive pickups—Precision at the neck and Jazz at the bridge—capture clear fundamental tone with articulate note definition, sitting cleanly in rock, pop, and funk productions. The Phat II EQ circuitry with active bass boosting provides essential tonal shaping for mix flexibility, while the B10 bridge ensures tuning stability and consistent sustain across all four strings, crucial for punch and clarity in recorded tracks.
