Headless Haymakers and Powerful Performances
Few can hold a candle to the ingenuity of the low-end theorists at the Ibanez Bass Workshop, and the EHB600 puts this design and engineering prowess on full display. This headless powerhouse packs a kaleidoscopic array of tone-crafting tenacity into a 4-string low-frequency machine, built to brawl. Choice jatoba, okoume, and maple tonewoods form the ferocious foundations of this bass, while Ibanez Custom Electronics’ 3-band EQ circuit supplements the sonic sculpting that the instrument’s humbuckers afford. With so much low-end thunder in tow, the EHB600 has become a mainstay of Sweetwater bassists’ gig rigs, celebrating the 5-piece neck’s EHB4 profile and sculpted treble-side cutaway for its high-speed access and control over the instrument’s 24 frets. The Ibanez EHB600 wields its Bass Workshop title with unabashed panache, succeeding precisely because it embodies the Ibanez Bass Workshop ethos — this bass is not for everyone, which is exactly what makes it perfect for you.
A triplet of top-tier tonewoods
With its okoume body, the Bass Workshop EHB600 drops its aural anchor in a bright, focused foundation, teeming with maple-like clarity that’s fittingly echoed in the neck’s 5-piece maple and jatoba construction. As these properties carry through the bass, the neck’s maple side elicits brilliant spectrum-spanning warmth, complemented by the tonewood’s inherent note-separating capabilities that guarantee precise, punchy voicing. Jatoba — as found in the neck and used for the fretboard — brings a distinctive depth to the EHB600’s tonewood assemblage, bringing crystalline rosewood-like character to a mix of robust mids and fundamental-strong tones that are mostly free of overtones.
Ibanez Custom Electronics: engineered for excellence
Ibanez’s luthiers and engineers worked in tandem to ensure the Ibanez Custom Electronics crafted for this bass were tailored to capture and deploy the distinctive power of the Bass Workshop EHB600’s foundational tonewoods. A prismatic pair of α1 (Alpha 1) humbuckers are adorned by a constellation of controls, including a 3-band EQ, Balancer, and Master Volume. What’s more, a Bypass mini-switch augments your aural armature with an array of customizable sound design, ensuring your tones are teeming with pocket-worthy panache.
