Ibanez - BTB605-TGF Transparent Gray Flat

When you pick up the BTB605-TGF, you'll immediately discover the effect of the 5-piece maple & jatoba neck running through the body, which promotes unrivalled stability and massive sustain, offering comfort that transforms fast passages into a fluid dance across the full length of the 889mm tuning fork. The passive Ibanez α1 AlNiCo pickups, mounted in HH configuration, deliver a generous sound spectrum, allowing you to move from a deep, round bass to a clear, present midrange with simple control over pickup balance and volume. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the matt finish of this model provides a pleasant grip, without excessive shine, so you can stay focused on your game for long hours.

The Ibanez Custom Electronics active electronics create a perfect balance between punch and definition, allowing you to achieve subtle nuances in fast passages and punchy attacks on low notes, offering versatility that's rare for an instrument in this range, ready to accompany you in all your musical projects.

The BTB605-TGF's electronic features include a 3-band EQ with a switch that lets you target one of 3 midrange frequencies (250/450/700 Hz), allowing you to sculpt your sound with precision. Each setting influences the amplitude of each frequency band, making for deep lows, expressive mids and well-defined highs, while retaining a natural feel for the strings. This is particularly useful for modern, versatile styles, from slap to saturated distortion, and gives you total freedom to shape your tone to your inspiration.

There's no bridge here, just MR5 Mono-Rail V, independent for each string to maximise vibration transfer while reducing interference, and the zero fret allows smooth, precise glissandos that intensify your musical expression. The rosewood fingerboard blends perfectly with the flat BTB55 C shape of the neck, offering optimum comfort for complex positions and fast octave jumps. The bass remains balanced in all playing situations, whether you're standing, sitting or lying down, ensuring that every note you produce retains its clarity and strength, for impressive tonal versatility that suits all styles.

The 24 stainless steel medium frets ensure exceptional durability and maximum playing comfort, the 0 fret ensures a solidly anchored resting point and perfect in tune, and the 47 mm nut is there simply to space and stabilise the strings.
