Luxurious playing experience
This 6 string Ibanez is sculpted with a poplar and maple body, delivering elegant contours and sleek designs to ensure a luxurious playing experience. Poplar gives the bass an outstanding natural tone with a defined low-end, a tight midrange, and a sweet high-end. Its cutaway profile also allows for easy playability, giving you absolute freedom to access the upper ranges of the fingerboard.
Each and every aspect has been considered to maximise your performance. That's why jatoba crafts the fingerboard, offering an unblemished, smooth surface to glide across effortlessly and with accuracy. This material also has the benefit of exceptional tonal qualities with a luscious mid-range and scintillating highs. Its neck is crafted with silky-smooth maple, topped with a satin finish. This fine tonewood has been sculpted with Ibanez's GSR6 profile, providing a comfortable grasp with unrivalled freedom, which makes movement a thing of ease. Pure comfort.
