Ibanez EHB605WNF Walnut Flat

A Modern Vision by "Bass Workshop"

Designed with the innovative spirit of the Ibanez "Bass Workshop" program, the EHB605 pushes the headless bass concept towards greater comfort and performance. Its lightweight okoumé body, refined contours, and precise craftsmanship make it a contemporary 5-string bass designed to meet the demands of today's bassists, from studio to stage.

For Which Bassist and Styles?

This 5-string with a 34" / 864 mm scale length targets intermediate to expert bassists seeking a lightweight, responsive, and stable bass. The 18 mm string spacing facilitates slap, tapping, and fingerstyle playing, while the onboard electronics cover funk, modern rock, pop, fusion, progressive metal, and urban music without losing definition in low tunings.

Sound Characteristics

The okoumé body delivers full mids and firm lows, ideal for cutting through the mix without harshness. The jatoba fingerboard enhances articulation and clarity of attack. The Alpha 1 pickups provide a clear and detailed foundation, precisely shaped by the Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ (bass, mids with differentiated boost/cut frequencies, treble). The bypass allows a true passive mode with tone control via the treble knob, useful for more organic tones. The MR5HS bridge with individual saddles optimizes vibration transfer for stable sustain and fine intonation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the performance of this 5-string, choose a long scale string set .045-.130 such as D'Addario EXL165-5 (compatible with tuning 1G-2D-3A-4E-5B). Plan for a quality 9V battery for the active EQ, a wide, non-slip strap for comfort, and a durable 6.35 mm instrument jack cable for stage use.
