Ibanez 5-string electric bass with multiscale design
The Ibanez BTB805MSTGF is an electric bass for players who want extended range, stability and control. This 5-string bass features a multiscale length of 33.9" to 35", a neck-through construction and a BTB5 for Multi Scale 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck with graphite reinforcement rods. That gives you a solid foundation for precise playing and direct response across the neck.
The factory tuning 1G, 2D, 3A, 4E and 5B makes this Ibanez suitable for bassists who need the low range of a fifth string. The 47 mm nut width, 72 mm width at the 24th fret, 400 mm radius and 16.5 mm string spacing show that the playing surface is laid out with room to work.
Build, materials and playing feel of the BTB805MSTGF
The body combines a Poplar Burl top with an Okoume wing body, finished in TGF, while the hardware comes in black for a clean, modern look. The bound Panga Panga fingerboard has abalone dot inlays and 24 medium stainless steel frets plus a zero fret. That zero fret helps open strings feel more even compared to fretted notes.
The MR5S bridge and fixed bridge design match the purpose of this bass: stable intonation and dependable setup. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians and use the workshop for instrument setup and maintenance.
T1 pickups and 3-band EQ for wide tonal shaping
This electric bass uses a T1 neck pickup and T1 bridge pickup, both passive, together with Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ. That lets you shape your sound actively, while the EQ bypass switch also gives you passive operation with passive tone control on the treble pot.
The additional 3-way mid-frequency switch gives you more control over the midrange. That makes the Ibanez BTB805MSTGF a strong choice for bassists who want precise adjustment in the studio or quick sound changes on stage.
