Ibanez - MDM1000 Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte + Housse

The MDM1000 Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte features a Roasted Maple neck that has already stabilised the tuning during intense gigs, and you'll immediately feel the comfort it brings thanks to its natural stiffness and resistance to thermal variations. This wood responds with pleasing precision, transmitting a solid feel that's perfectly balanced to support fast attacks or longer, flowing lines.

You benefit from a highly responsive rosewood fingerboard, as its dense grain generates a focused midrange and round bass that work well with a variety of styles. This fingerboard creates a fluid support under the fingers, and gives a very reassuring sense of control as you navigate between the pitch zones. Transitions become more natural, and you get the feeling that each note is set in a clear, legible space even when the amp is pushing the frequencies.

Its stainless steel frets will remain impeccable after countless hours of playing, and you feel immediate comfort thanks to their even, durable surface. Their lively response enhances the attack and provides interesting stability in fast slides. You'll enjoy a precise feel that opens the door to highly dynamic play, while retaining a pleasant feel under your fingers.

The alder body of the MDM1000 amplifies a clear spectrum where the midrange remains well defined and the bass firm, and you quickly discover how this material supports defined lines even with a high volume. The overall balance of the body creates a homogenous sound base, which helps you when exploring different styles. The natural sustain also allows you to hold notes with ease, offering an assertive presence without aggression.

The Delta S4J pickups installed combine lively attack, clean mids and tight lows, and you'll appreciate the way they already respond to right-hand variations. The clarity of the pickups means they can handle the dynamics well when an amp or pedal changes the colour of the signal. So you benefit from a wide range of settings, easily adaptable to both live performance and recording.

The Sonitech S preamp installed by Ibanez deploys a highly malleable spectrum thanks to its 2 preset midrange banks and its integrated control, and you'll immediately feel how easy it is to build a custom sound. You'll quickly adjust a lighter coloration or a tighter texture to suit the environment. The EQ further expands the possibilities, and this flexibility encourages a creative approach both in the studio and on stage.
