Ibanez EHB1506MS-BIF
Product information "Ibanez EHB1506MS-BIF"
With the bass from the Bass Workshop series, Ibanez offers a series of brand new headless basses. The EHB 1506MS BIF is a 6 string multiscale headless with first-class equipment. At the heart of the electronics is a set of passive Nordstrand Custom Big Split pickups in combination with Vari Mid 3 - band electronics, which can also be switched to passive mode (the Treble controller then acts as a passive tone controller). The body is chambered and elaborately shaped for optimal playing comfort. With the MH5RS monorail bridge, the bass can be tuned like butter, the string spacing is adjustable. A modern, versatile bass with maximum playing comfort!

The Japanese instrument maker Ibanez can look back on a long tradition in guitar and bass construction. Although Ibanez initially made a name for itself with idiosyncratic copies of traditional models from makers like Gibson and Fender, its own series gradually emerged, such as the Iceman, JEM, Artcore and RG. In the 1980s the company became particularly well known in the heavy sector with instruments that stood out for their modern features, distinctive design and excellent playability. Innovations such as 7- and 8-string guitars, born from fruitful collaborations with artists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Meshuggah, further helped to establish Ibanez's strong reputation. Today the manufacturer offers an extensive range, from entry-level guitars and basses to exotic Custom Shop models. In addition, Ibanez also impresses in the field of effects and amplifiers, as the classic TS9 Tubescreamer proves. Here you'll find a comprehensive selection of guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects and accessories from Ibanez.

Overall a decent bass but feels a little insubstantial and initial set up was poor. Significant work required to reach a playable stage. Some frets proud resulting in uneven response when slapping or striking strings more fully. Good tone and quite a musical preamp. Bass dones not have passive tone contrary to Ibanez website
Toller Bass mit vielen nützlichen Features, Zutaten und Sehr guten PU‘s. Verarbeitung ist ok und die Multiscale Mensur verlangt einem kein grosses umgewöhnen ab. Das geringe Gewicht erleichtert die Spielsituation mit einem 6-Saiter zudem ungemein. Einzige Schwachstelle ist die Elektronik aber hier wäre dann auch schnell Abhilfe geschaffen falls gewollt.
