Ibanez BTB746 6-String Electric Bass Guitar
Positioned as a fusion of boutique craftsmanship and accessibility, the Ibanez BTB746 6-string bass seamlessly aligns with the renowned BTB series. Crafted from premium multilayer tonewoods and boasting a sleek contoured body, every aspect of the BTB746 resonates with seasoned bassists.
The 5-piece maple and walnut neck, flanked by okoume and ash wings topped with walnut, creates a foundation for rich harmonics and sustained resonance. Driving this sonic platform are Bartolini BH2 humbucking pickups, enhanced by a versatile 3-band active EQ. Additionally, professional-grade features like the 6-piece Mono-rail V bridge, zero-fret nut, and locking output jack ensure that the BTB746 embodies excellence.
Bartolini BH2 pickups strike an ideal balance between clarity and depth, delivering warmth in the mids and depth in the low end without compromising definition. Their long-blade pole pieces enable hum-free performance with consistent single-coil-like character.
With the 3-band EQ, players can sculpt their desired tone with precision. Accompanied by a 3-way midrange switch, this active equalizer offers wide frequency-range adjustments to define the instrument's presence, catering to various playing styles and genres.
The history of neck-through design traces back to iconic prototypes like Les Paul's "The Log" and Rickenbacker's innovations. The BTB746's neck-through construction provides exceptional sustain and tonal balance, resonating vibrantly through its ultra-stable 5-piece maple and walnut neck.
The importance of the bridge in instrument performance cannot be overstated. Ibanez's choice of the top-quality Mono-rail V bridge for the BTB746 ensures minimal sympathetic vibration and efficient energy transfer between strings and body. This design delivers astonishing clarity and sustain, enriching every note played on the bass.
