BTB: a bass designed for precision and versatility
This BTB605MS fits within the spirit of the BTB series: a performance-oriented bass with stable craftsmanship and a decidedly modern approach. The choice of multi-scale enhances intonation and low-end stability while maintaining a softer feel on the higher strings, ideal for technical playing and demanding tunings.
For which bassists and styles?
Intended for intermediate to advanced bassists, this 5-string is particularly comfortable in metal, modern rock, fusion, gospel, funk, and contemporary music where a clear attack and solid low end are sought. The active/passive switch allows switching from a sculpted and punchy sound to a more direct tone, perfect for adapting to both stage and studio environments.
The sound
The okoume body provides a balanced response and nice warmth while maintaining precise attack. The ebonol fingerboard promotes clarity, definition, and crisp articulation, appreciated for fast passages and sustained notes. The Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver a modern character with a strong low end and clear mids. The 3-band EQ Ibanez Custom Electronics allows fine-tuning of bass, mids, and treble, while the 3-position mid switch helps place the bass in the mix (slap, fingerstyle, pick). The active/passive switch ensures versatility: from active punch to a more natural passive response.
