The BTB Series: A Modern and "Boutique" Approach at Ibanez

The BTB range is designed for bassists seeking modern craftsmanship focused on performance and precision. With its neck-through construction and carefully selected tonewoods, this BTB 7-string aims for a balanced response across the entire range, excellent tuning stability, and a solid feel suited for extended tunings.

For Which Bassist and Styles

This Ibanez is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who need a wide sonic palette and an instrument comfortable in demanding contexts. It is well suited for modern metal, prog, fusion, gospel, and any music where definition and note sustain are essential, especially in 7-string format (factory tuning: 1F, 2C, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E, 7B).

Sound

The combination of a walnut top and an ash body with mahogany wings provides an interesting balance: attack and clarity, present lows, and warm low-mids. The neck-through construction enhances vibrational continuity and promotes generous sustain, very useful for held notes and passages in the extended low register.

The Bartolini BH2 (passive) pickups deliver a clear and modern response, with well-focused mids that stand out in the mix. The 3-band EQ by Ibanez allows quick tonal shaping, and the mid-frequency switch helps toggle between rounder mids for groove and sharper mids for technical playing, slap, or pick passages.
