Ibanez

Ibanez is recognized as one of the world's top-selling bass companies. Ibanez first drew attention in the 1970's and '80's with its neck-thru basses that featured active electronics. The Ibanez Soundgear bass was introduced in the 1980's, and since that time, the role of the electric bass has changed considerably. From jazz to funk to aggressive hard rock, bassists still rely on Ibanez basses to lay down the groove even though many new trends have come and gone. Today, Ibanez offers the most diverse bass line of 4, 5, and 6 basses available for every playing style in every price range.

The Ibanez SRT800DX is a modern-style bass designed for today's contemporary bassist. It delivers a clear and balanced tone that is perfect for rock as well as more aggressive playing styles. With its arched top and scooped back, you're going to love the smooth feel of its ergonomic mahogany body regardless of the music that you play. Its highly-figured flame maple top makes it visually stunning. The SRT's 5-piece maple/bubinga neck-thru construction enhances its resonance and attack while making playability and upper fret navigation effortless. A pair of U.S.-made EMG humbucking pickups features a dual coil design which provides a powerful presence. These low noise pickups supply plenty of output and can reproduce everything from the most pristine highs down to the punchiest, growling lows. A 3-band vari-mid EQ offers detailed tone tweaking capability while cosmo black hardware and a gloss finish give it a slick look. If you want the ultimate modern bass, you've got it with the Ibanez SRT800DX!

The concepts behind boutique basses are often the justification for making them extremely expensive. With the advent of the BTB however, Ibanez decided that these same concepts of well-selected body materials, 35" neck scale, and deep cutaways could be applied to an instrument that anyone could afford. All the BTBs feature neck-thru construction and deeper cutaways for enhanced playability and balance.
