Features
• 9pc Pangapanga/Walnut neck provides superior note attack, tight lows and increased sustain. 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.
• Walnut top / Ash body - The Walnut top features a beautiful wood grain and the Ash body delivers a pleasant brightness and rich sustain.
• Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.
• Vari-mid 3-band EQ features a variable mid-frequency control which allows you to dial in an incredibly wide range of sounds.
• Rugged yet light-weight Ibanez custom headpieces enable strings to be easily set and released by a hex wrench from the back side.
• The MR5HS bridge is designed specially for EHB basses and features a wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently and securely attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer. The saddles are adjustable for string spacing +/-1.5mm, answering every bassist's individual string spacing demands, no matter the playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action.
• 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.
• Schaller S-Locks strap lock pins don't fail, even under the toughest conditions on stage.
• Included IbanezGig bag is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument.
• Ergonomic body design - The EHB's headless construction and specially designed body enable the player to maintain a similar playing position whether seated or standing.
