Ibanez Iron Label BTB625EX Black Flat 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

General

Built for bassists seeking a solid build and brutal detailing as well as more sonic mass, the Ibanez Iron Label BTB625EX five-string bass has it all, and even comes fully cloaked - from the hardware to the headstock - in matte-back. The extra low-B string retains a tight feel and lower tunings are fully supported by the extended 35 inch scale length, while extreme stability is assured by the neck-through-construction, where a comfy five-piece maple and walnut BTB5 neck extends through the two-piece okoume body, laying down a warm foundation with a full and prominent mids.

The Ibanez BTB625EX Bass: Clear, Solid Balance

Clarity, balance, and more than enough range is provided by a set of two passive Bartolini BH2 soapbars coupled with an Ibanez-developed active Custom Electronics preamp armed with a detailed three-band EQ section. This setup includes a dedicated boost/cut pot for the bass, trebles, and mids, and a mid-frequency selector switch, so the 250Hz, 450Hz, or 700Hz range can be enhanced or filtered as preferred. And, next to the volume pot, a balancer pot has been fitted for blending the output of the two pickups. Finished with the modern stability of an MR5 bridge and the roomy playability of the 19mm string-spacing, the Iron Label BTB625EX five-string plays like a slick machine.
