The BTB Standard series BTB845 from Ibanez is a 5-string electric bass guitar featuring a neck-trough design, a poplar burl top, an ash/mahogany wing body, a jatoba fingerboard, and a deep twilight low gloss finish. The deep double-cutaway body allows for unencumbered access to the upper regions of the fingerboard, ensuring solid playability. The maple/walnut BTB5 neck features an extra-long 35" scale which provides a tight, even tension with no flopping on the low end, and added sustain on the high strings.
Other features include two bridge and neck Bartolini BH2 humbucker pickups, a 3-band EQ with mid-frequency switch, a Mono-rail V bridge, and cosmo black hardware.
