The Ibanez MDM1000 bass is a modern interpretation of a legendary design, tailored for the diverse tonal and technical demands of today’s bassists. Part of the innovative Mode Series, the MDM1000 fuses timeless aesthetics with forward-thinking engineering, giving players a versatile platform that excels in any musical setting—from groove-heavy funk to high-precision progressive styles.
Its Alder body delivers a well-balanced tone with warmth, clarity, and dynamic punch. The specially modified body shape enhances ergonomics and ensures perfect balance, whether you’re standing on stage or seated in the studio. The Super All Access neck joint provides an ultra-smooth heel contour, giving unrestricted access to all 24 frets for effortless soloing and upper-register phrasing.
Built for speed and comfort, the 1-piece Roasted Maple neck features a thin C-profile, rounded fretboard edges, and medium stainless steel frets for clean articulation, durability, and smooth playability. The Rosewood fretboard adds tonal warmth and responsiveness, while luminescent side dot inlays ensure visibility on dark stages.
The Delta S-series pickups—S4J, S5J, or S6J depending on string configuration—offer aggressive, balanced single-coil tone with hum-canceling performance. Whether you're playing intricate lines or supporting the groove, these pickups ensure every note cuts through cleanly and with definition.
Paired with the Sonitech S preamp, the MDM1000 offers an expansive tonal toolkit:
On the back of the bass, the 2-way Hexa Mid system allows you to toggle between two mid-frequency banks:
With six total mid-frequency points, you can dial in the perfect tone for any genre, mix, or stage setting.
The MR5S mono-rail bridge provides excellent string isolation and sustain, with adjustable string spacing—19mm for 4-string models and 18mm for 5- and 6-string variants. Paired with Aero-light tuners made from Extra Super Duralumin, the MDM1000 offers rock-solid tuning stability in an ultra-lightweight form.
From foundational low-end support to high-performance expression, the Ibanez MDM1000 is your modern solution to classic bass versatility.
