A modern design focused on stability and precision
With its multi-piece maple/walnut neck reinforced with graphite, this bass adopts a decidedly contemporary approach: luthiery designed to remain reliable against climate variations while maintaining a fast feel. The zero fret provides tonal coherence between open strings and fretted notes, a real advantage for both pick and fingerstyle playing.
For which bassists and styles?
This electric bass is especially suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a stable, precise, and versatile instrument for band settings. The long 35" / 889 mm scale length is well suited for modern tunings and styles where low-end definition is essential: rock, metal, modern funk, gospel, pop, and fusion.
The sound
The okoumé body promotes a warm balance, with dynamic response and a present low midrange, ideal for staying audible in dense mixes. The ebonol fingerboard offers a clear attack and a fast feel under the fingers, with precise highs. The Bartolini BH2 pickups (bridge and neck) deliver a modern, full, and quiet tone, while the Ibanez active 3-band EQ allows quick adjustment of bass, mids, and treble. The 3-position mid switch lets you position the bass exactly where you want (scooped, centered, or more aggressive mids) depending on style and amp.
Recommended compatible accessories
To fully exploit the 35" / 889 mm scale length, prioritize a long scale bass string set suitable for 35". A tuner (pedal or clip-on) and a strap are also essentials for stage and rehearsals.
