The BTB605MS's 5-ply maple/walnut neck delivers a clean attack and exemplary stability thanks to its graphite-reinforced truss rod. The stainless steel frets ensure maximum durability, while facilitating fast, precise play across the entire neck. The ergonomic glued neck provides fluid access to the highest positions, making every note more accessible and enjoyable to play. This design makes the bass ideal for long playing sessions where comfort and precision are essential to express every nuance of your musical interpretation.

The Okoume body of the BTB605MS amplifies projection and brings a luminous resonance to low and mid notes. The Solar Eclipse Matte finish gives an elegant visual effect while protecting the wood from light scratches and daily wear and tear. Every curve of the body has been designed with comfort and ergonomics in mind, allowing players to stand or sit without feeling excessively tired, while retaining a sober, modern aesthetic that is a natural eye-catcher.

The T1 humbuckers offer exceptional sonic versatility, with each coil individually adjustable to shape the sound to suit you. The bass is deep and defined, the midrange punchy and the treble precise, ensuring a balanced performance in all registers. Pickup spacing is designed for maximum comfort when playing with the thumb or pick, and the rounded pickup design enhances ergonomics for smooth, natural performance on every note.

Ibanez 3-band electronics with midrange boost and cut provide intuitive and effective control, allowing you to adjust the sound to suit different styles and musical situations. The 3-position switch for the mid-range frequencies further enriches the sound palette and offers a rapid choice of tonal options. The EQ bypass transforms the treble potentiometer into a global control for the passive circuit, giving greater flexibility and allowing fine nuances to be achieved without having to change several settings simultaneously.

The MR5S bridge includes adjustable bridges offering a string spacing variation of +/- 1.5 mm. This ensures precise positioning to suit playing preferences and personal style, while optimising string tension for perfect balance across all notes. Combined with the through-neck construction, sustain is remarkable, and every string vibration is transmitted with clarity and power, creating a natural, consistent sound for all performances.

The 37-35 inch multi-scale scale provides an ideal balance of tension and comfort across all five strings, giving powerful lows and defined highs without straining the playing. This layout facilitates complex chords and fast lines while preserving the overall ergonomics of the instrument. The differences in tension between the strings are felt naturally, offering fluidity and precision that will delight bassists looking to explore all the nuances of their instrument.
