Ibanez EHB1505MS Headless 5-String Bass Pacific Blue Burst Flat B-Stock

The EHB1505MS delivers exceptional balance and ergonomic comfort through its headless design and multi-scale construction, making it equally at home seated or standing for extended sessions. Its chambered African mahogany body with poplar burl top feels noticeably lighter than conventional basses while maintaining the resonant warmth and sustain that working bassists depend on. This B-Stock unit shows only light cosmetic dents on the back edge—no impact on playability or performance.

Playability & Construction

The multi-scale design spans 35" to 33" (889mm to 838mm), providing ideal string tension and even tone response across all five strings. A 9-piece graphite-reinforced panga panga and walnut neck ensures rock-solid stability, while the bound panga panga fingerboard features 24 stainless steel fanned frets with offset abalone dot inlays and luminescent side dots for clear visibility in any lighting condition.

Tone & Electronics

A pair of Nordstrand Custom Big Split passive pickups deliver articulate, full-range tone with hum-canceling design, while the Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with EQ bypass allows you to shape your sound from transparent and natural to sculpted and modern. The treble pot functions as a passive tone control when the EQ is bypassed, giving you immediate access to classic passive bass response.
