The Ibanez BTB945 5-string bass is built for players who need precision, versatility, and rich tonal depth. Designed with a neck-through construction, premium tonewoods, and pro-level components, it delivers exceptional sustain, clarity, and playability. Whether on stage or in the studio, this bass offers boutique-level craftsmanship at a price that remains accessible.
Equipped with Nordstrand Big Single pickups, it produces a powerful yet articulate sound with a punchy low end, rich mids, and crisp highs. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ and 3-way mid-frequency switch provide precise tone shaping, making it adaptable to any genre or playing style.
The 5-piece maple and walnut neck is reinforced with graphite rods for enhanced stability and attack, while the rosewood fretboard delivers warmth and balanced articulation. Stainless steel frets ensure durability and smooth playability.
With a poplar burl top and an okoume and ash body, the BTB945 delivers resonant, full-bodied tones. The MR5S bridge offers adjustable string spacing for a custom feel, and an EQ bypass switch allows players to switch between active and passive operation, adding even more flexibility to this performance-ready bass.
