Affordable Boutique 5-string Performance Promising boutique quality at an off-the-shelf price, the Ibanez BTB745 5-string bass fits in perfectly with the rest of the acclaimed BTB series. From its premium multilayer tonewoods and comfortably contoured body to its top-shelf Bartolini pickups and hardware, there isn't a thing about the BTB745 that a seasoned bass player can't instantly appreciate. The 5-piece maple and walnut neck is flanked by okoume and ash wings topped with walnut. This unique tonewood combination serves as a recipe for complex harmonics and epic sustain. Making the most of this foundation is a set of Bartolini BH2 humbucking pickups accompanied by a flexible 3-band active EQ. Finally, professional touches such as a 5-piece Mono-rail V bridge, a zero-fret nut, and even a locking output jack provide the Ibanez BTB745 with all the hallmarks of an instrument you'll never let go.Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver full and balanced tone
