A Bass Designed for the Mode Series

Designed to push boundaries, the MDM1000 embodies the spirit of the Mode series: a vintage soul combined with contemporary performance. Its lightweight and perfectly balanced ergonomics offer a natural stage presence and uncompromising playability, while the craftsmanship and electronics are tailored to meet the demands of modern bassists.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert musicians, the MDM1000 also suits ambitious beginners seeking a versatile instrument. Its palette effortlessly covers funk, pop, rock, fusion, gospel, and modern metal. The "Super All Access Neck Joint" facilitates access to higher frets, making it equally comfortable for fingerstyle, slap, or pick playing.

Sound

The alder body delivers a clear and balanced range, with beautiful resonance and generous sustain. The rosewood fingerboard provides focused mids and a slight smoothness in the highs. The "Delta S4J" pickup set combines controlled brightness, punchy mids, and tight lows for a mix that remains clear. The 3-band "Sonitech S" preamp offers two mid banks and a passive tone control; the push/pull enables instant bypass for a more organic tone. The MR5S bridge enhances note definition and allows string spacing adjustment, while medium stainless steel frets ensure attack, stability, and longevity.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Delivered with its dedicated Ibanez gig bag, the MDM1000 is perfectly complemented by a comfort strap (leather or neoprene) with standard strap locks, a universal clip-on tuner, a quality 6.35 mm TS instrument cable, and a universal bass stand. A maintenance kit (microfiber cloth, fingerboard cleaner) will help preserve playability and finish.
