Ibanez BTB605LM Bass Workshop Multi-Scale 5-String Bass Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Black Flat

The Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB605LM 5-string multi-scale bass is built for players who demand uncompromising precision, extended-range authority and modern boutique refinement—without boutique barriers. Developed as part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop project, it reflects the brand’s ongoing pursuit of low-end innovation with a neck-through, multi-scale design that delivers unmatched playability and exceptional sustain. The five-piece maple and walnut neck is reinforced with graphite rods for rock-solid stability and articulate response across the entire register. Okoume body wings keep the feel balanced and resonant, complementing the BTB’s expansive tonal footprint. At its core, Ibanez T1 pickups provide tight low-end control, punchy mids and clear highs, with individually adjustable coils that enhance both tonal nuance and ergonomic comfort. Paired with flexible three-band EQ, mid-frequency switching and passive operation, the BTB605LM offers a deeply refined, forward-thinking bass platform for players exploring the outer edges of modern bass performance.
