Features

* 5pc Maple/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods provides tonal clarity and superior attack.The Graphite reinforcement rods provides massive sustain and excellent stability.
* Panga Panga fretboard features a beautiful wood grain which produces a tight low and mid range, along with a sharp attack on high end.
* Medium Stainless Steel frets are durable and long-lasting.
* Poplar Burl top / Ash / Okoume wing body provides bright and solid tones with rich sustain.
* T1 pickupshave separate dual coil construction to provide tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response.
* Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is the latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.
* MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist's specific string spacing needs.
* EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
* 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.
* Included Ibanez Hardshell case gives extreme protection for your beloved instrument.
* 37-35 inch multi scale provides strong tension for clear sounds even when it's down tuned. Combined with 35 inch scale it provides better string tension of higher strings, and smooth fingering due to gentler fret angles.
* Neck-through construction contributes to massive sustain and smooth access to high fretboard positions.
