Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB5MSBSP 5-string Multi-scale Bass Guitar - Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte

The Bass Workshop equates to something of a sandbox for Ibanez, a company continuing its rich tradition of pioneering low-frequency machines, driving ingenuity and innovation via untethered experimentation and imagination. The Bass Workshop EHB5MSBSP is a 5-string multi-scale bass that’s booming with craftsmanship, creativity, and character that has more than earned its namesake categorization. Luthiers at Ibanez spared no effort in taking the exploratory spirit of the Bass Workshop to its outer reaches with this brawling bass machine, and Music Bliss low-end theorists are in deft agreement: its presence-filled basswood body is joined to a nine-piece neck, comprising panga and walnut, with a matching, bound panga fretboard. Moreover, its multi-scale moxie is brought to life by an electrifying array of active Fishman Fluence pickups and multimode coil switching to supercharge your onboard sonic sculpting. Headless, hard-hitting, and hardly an all-arounder, the Ibanez EHB5MSBSP wields its Bass Workshop title with unabashed panache, succeeding precisely because it embodies the Ibanez Bass Workshop ethos — these basses are not for everyone, which is exactly what makes it perfect for you.
