The Ibanez MDM1005 is a bold reinvention of a timeless design—crafted for today’s bassist who demands versatility, speed, and tonal control. As part of the new Ibanez Mode Series, the MDM1005 honors the core aesthetics of a classic bass form while pushing the boundaries of modern functionality, comfort, and sonic flexibility.
Its Alder body is specially modified to offer perfect balance and ergonomic comfort whether standing or seated, while the Super All Access neck joint makes upper fret reach feel effortless. A 1-piece Roasted Maple neck with a fast thin C profile offers excellent stability and a sleek feel, enhanced further by rounded fretboard edges and medium stainless steel frets for smooth bends, clear attack, and long-term durability.
The Rosewood fretboard adds warmth and balance to your tone, while luminescent side dot inlays ensure visibility on dark stages. A transparent pickguard completes the sleek, modern look.
Loaded with Ibanez Delta S5J pickups, the MDM1005 delivers a bold, punchy single-coil tone with clarity across the frequency range and hum-canceling performance—ready to cut through any mix with precision. These pickups are paired with the highly customizable Sonitech S preamp, offering a master volume, balancer, 3-band EQ, master tone control, EQ bypass, and a 3-way mid-frequency selector.
For deeper control, the rear-mounted 2-way Hexa mid system lets you toggle between two banks of mid-frequency points:
Low bank: 250Hz, 450Hz, 850Hz
High bank: 350Hz, 600Hz, 1kHz
This gives you six total mid-frequency options, making the MDM1005 a powerful tone-shaping machine adaptable to virtually any genre or playing style.
Other high-performance features include the MR5S mono-rail bridge, which offers superb string isolation, clarity, and sustain, along with adjustable 18mm string spacing—ideal for both traditional and modern players. Aero-light tuners, made from Extra Super Duralumin, deliver exceptional tuning precision with ultra-lightweight durability.
With its premium features, future-forward design, and extraordinary tone-shaping potential, the Ibanez MDM1005 is more than a bass—it's a complete performance platform for the modern player.
