The headless bass
Don't worry, you haven't lost your head. This is a headless bass, which comes with a unique set of advantages. First, it reduces the overall weight, giving your shoulders some well-earned respite. And it helps with balance, reducing the 'nose-dive' of the guitar for unrivalled stability onstage. It also improves tuning stability, keeping your strings singing all day long. Not to mention the fact that it looks super cool, too.
The majestic multi-scale
The multi-scale fretboard is a step above the rest – it redefines playability. With slanted, or 'fanned', frets, it naturally fits to the slant of your wrist to ensure maximum comfort when playing, whilst guaranteeing superior intonation across the board. It also adds extra definition to the tone of the low strings, whilst making the treble strings brighter and clearer. The result is unbelievable playability combined with a superbly tight sound. With this technology, you can master your guitar playing like never before.
Supreme Nordstrands
With a pair of Nordstrand Custom Big Split pickups at your back, your basslines will explode with richness, fullness, and character. They have a P/J voicing, meaning their tonal range is huge – capable of handling any genre. The bridge pickup is raw and powerful, beefing up every note and punching through the mix like a wrecking ball.
The neck is warmer and smoother – perfect for blending in with other instruments and bringing out fatness in your riffs. As if that weren't enough, there's also a Vari-mid three-band EQ control section, where you can tinker until you've found your perfect tone, and also use the mid frequency function to work more detail into the midrange. It really doesn't get better than this.
Includes an array of premium additions
You're set up for anything. With a premium Ibanez gigbag at your disposal, you'll be able to take this beauty anywhere - perfect for live shows and travelling. There's also a set of Schaller strap locks for you to attach to your strap pins, ensuring your strap remains tightly fastened at all times. And the detachable finger ramp will give you additional comfort and control when fingerpicking, should you wish to use it!
