The Ibanez Premium BTB1906-BTL Brown Topaz Burst Low Gloss convinces as a noble bass with an elaborate construction and first-class sounds.
Ibanez Premium BTB1906-BTL: Full neck for the perfect sound and high playing comfortThe central design feature of the Ibanez Premium BTB is undoubtedly the continuous neck, which has enormous stability and promotes a first-class sound with even sound development and endlessly singing sustain across all strings. The neck is not only made of a total of nine strips of hard wenge and bubinga, but is also reinforced with graphite inlays. With its flat "D" profile and the fretboard radius of 400 mm (15.75"), the neck lies comfortably in the hand, so that between the 24 stainless steel frets of the rosewood fretboard, every run goes smoothly out of your hand. Another optical highlight are the body wings made of mahogany with curly maple top.
With Aguilar pickups and active electronics for a versatile soundThe Ibanez Premium BTB1906 Brown Topaz Burst Low Gloss uses two humbuckers from the New York smithy Aguilar, with which the electric bass on the amplifier delivers a wide range of sounds. The Aguilar DCB pickups convince thanks to their two ceramic blade magnets with fast response and a differentiated sound pattern, which offers the perfect basis for every playing technique, no matter if classic finger style, rocky plectrum attack or funky slap attacks. Furthermore, the Ibanez BTB Premium is equipped with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control, which convinces with its musical tuning and allows precise interventions in the character-determining frequency ranges. The switchable frequency for the center controller offers additional flexibility. In addition, the equalizer can be switched off to enjoy the pure passive sound of the 6-string.
Hardware from Ibanez and GotohIn addition, the Ibanez Premium BTB 6-String Bass is equipped with a first-class hardware combination that promises long lasting playing pleasure with unlimited functionality. Six Ibanez Mono-Rail V bridges sit on the body, which decouple the strings from mutual influence and thus support the differentiated, directly appealing sound of the bass, while their two-dimensional adjustability ensures perfect intonation and string position. The strings bridge a scale length of 35" (890 mm) between the individual bridges and the combination of zero fret and plastic saddle before they meet the precisely working Gotoh bass mechanisms at the headstock. As a special feature, the Ibanez Premium BTB also offers a lockable Neutrik output socket, which holds the plug of the instrument cable absolutely securely.
