Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1505MS PLF 5-String Multi-Scale Headless Electric Bass Pacific Blue Burst Flat

Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1505MS 5-String Multi-Scale Electric Bass

The Ibanez Bass Workshop series is at the forefront of bass design - bringing you innovative designs that satisfy the needs of contemporary bassists. The EHB (Ergonomic Headless Bass) is one of these innovations; its headless construction and ergonomic body are designed to give you a consistent playing experience whether standing or seated. Its contoured, ergonomic design and chambered body make for a lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable instrument that’s excellent for long sets or practice session. Ergonomic carving on the back of the body, behind the lower horn, allows for unimpeded upper fret access, and the top half of the body is slanted for greater control and a more ergonomic playing experience. With its multi-scale design, the EHB1505MS creates an "alive" open tone and is eminently comfortable to play. The ergonomic construction coordinates with the player's hand angle as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating a quick, smooth, playing action

The EHB1505MS features a stunning Poplar Burl top and an African Mahogany body for a warm tone with rich resonance. The 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck provides superior note attack, tight lows and increased sustain with the Panga Panga fretboard. Highly durable stainless steel frets accentuate tonal brightness and will not rust. Luminescent side dot inlays provide clear visibility in dark environments and the truss rod adjustment is located at the end of neck for easy access. 

The single-coil Nordstrand Big Split pickups feature split coils with hum cancelling construction for less noise. Its tone character is a hybrid P/J style and provides a rich and strong, yet well-balanced tone, which fits well with various kinds of playing styles. The Vari-mid 3-band EQ features a variable mid-frequency control which allows you to dial in an incredibly wide range of sounds. There is also an EQ bypass switch for passive operation with the treble control acting as a passive tone control when the EQ is bypassed. The MR5HS bridge is designed especially for the EHB basses and features wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently and securely attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer, and the saddles are adjustable for string spacing (18mm +/-1.5mm), answering every bassist’s individual string spacing demands, no matter what playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action. Schaller S-Lock strap lock pins and a Neutrik locking jack hold the strap and cable securely, and a detachable finger ramp and a gig bag are included with each instrument.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1505MS PLF 5-String Multi-Scale Electric Bass, finished in Pacific Blue Burst Flat, is a great option for bassists who demand the best from their basses - the Nordstrand pickups are incredibly versatile, and playability is smooth and effortless
