The Big Return of the Iceman in Bass Version
Since the 1970s, the Iceman has marked Ibanez's history with its bold lines. The ICB620 reintroduces this iconic silhouette in bass form with modern specifications: lightweight woods, contemporary electronics, and refined finishes. It stands as a flagship model in the lineup, designed to combine a confident look with stage-ready performance.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
The ICB620 targets intermediate to expert musicians seeking a 4-string bass with standard scale length, ready for rock, hard/metal, and any styles where attack and sustain matter. Its versatility and definition also make it a credible ally for pop, funk, or studio work, whether played fingerstyle, with a pick, or slap technique.
The Sound
The okoumé body provides a lively response and a punchy attack, while the Panga Panga fingerboard enhances midrange grain and transient precision. The pair of Bartolini BH2 humbuckers delivers tight lows, punchy mids, and smooth highs. The active 2-band Ibanez preamp allows fine adjustment of bass and treble, supported by a simple and effective control layout: Volume, Balancer, Bass, Treble. The MR5S bridge (19 mm spacing) promotes perfect string alignment and generous sustain; the 3-piece maple neck and medium frets complete this precise and articulate character.
