The Ibanez BTB865MS 5-string multi scale electric bass guitar stands out with a combination of advanced features, high-end materials, and a neck-through design that delivers both sustain and comfort. Multi-scale construction means the low B string uses a longer 37" scale length for more tension and clarity, while the G string shortens to 35" for smoother playability across the fretboard. This instrument uses T1 humbucking pickups for defined lows and crisp attack, paired with a custom Ibanez 3-band EQ that includes a mid-frequency switch for precise tone shaping. Designed for players who demand accurate intonation and comfortable access to all 24 frets, the BTB865MS suits those who need a bass that keeps up with technical playing styles and demanding sessions. The onboard EQ includes a bypass switch, so you can switch instantly between active and passive modes. Each knob is spaced for quick changes, and the treble pot acts as a global tone control in passive mode. The 3-way mid-frequency switch lets you focus your mids at 250, 450, or 700 Hz. The MR5S bridge gives precise intonation and lets you adjust string spacing for your hand size. Every feature is within reach, making fast adjustments easy between songs or in the studio. This model fits players who push their technique and expect a smooth, reliable response from every fret. Multi-scale construction, advanced electronics, and top materials combine to support consistent intonation and lasting comfort. The result is a bass that delivers clarity and control during every session or live set—helping you shape your sound without compromise.
