Ibanez - MDM1300 Natural Stained Amber Burst + Housse

The MDM1300 Natural Stained Amber Burst features a steamed maple neck that gives you amazing stability as you confidently change registers across the entire length of the scale. The increased resistance to temperature variations means there are no unpleasant surprises between busy scenes, and you'll feel more comfortable straight away. The rounded edges of the fingerboard add a smooth, continuous feel under your fingers, enhancing every glissando without you even realising it. The whole thing seems designed to follow your movements without creating the slightest tension.

On this bass, Ibanez has installed stainless steel frets that create a robust surface that retains a precise feel even after countless hours of playing on stage or in the studio. Their impressive durability reduces the need for frequent maintenance and enhances the sharpness of attacks when you turn up the volume. Every note comes out with clear definition, helping to structure your lines without unnecessary effort.

The ash body of the MDM1300 Natural Stained Amber Burst reveals a balanced responsiveness that helps you shape a brilliant grain without ever losing depth. You'll quickly feel the richness of the sustain, which is maintained even when you vary your dynamics to create more subtle nuances. The wood responds with a pleasant suppleness that adds a lively dimension to your most melodic grooves. This natural resonance integrates easily into different styles without you having to change your habits.

Delta S4J pickups provide a clean attack that helps you stay legible even in a dense mix. The expressive midrange brings a comfortable presence that supports your playing without spilling over. The precise bass reinforces your line with an effective foundation that always remains consistent with the rest of the spectrum.

The Sonitech S preamp built into the MDM1300 gives you advanced control with multiple midrange selections that really widen the sonic scope. The two frequency banks let you sculpt your character without spending hours searching for a precise setting. You can easily alternate between textured vintage grain and edgy modern clarity, depending on your mood or the context. Its ease of use gives you a real sense of freedom as you move between styles and moods.
