The Ibanez BTB745 5-string bass fits in perfectly with the rest of the acclaimed BTB series. From its premium multilayer tonewoods and comfortably contoured body to its top-shelf Bartolini pickups and hardware, there isn't a thing about the BTB745 that a seasoned bass player can't instantly appreciate.
The Ibanez BTB745-NTL is a BTB Series 5 String Right Hand Electric Bass in Natural Low Gloss. Without a doubt, your instrument should equal the quality of your effort. At some point the word "boutique" comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously crafted instrument.
BTB745's sleek body has a curved bevel that helps create a more elegant feel. The Mahogany body features a warm tone with rich resonance, while the Walnut top provides a tight response and warm sound with a firm low end. The stainless frets contribute to high durability and bright tone, and the zero fret provides accurate intonation and minimal string height. The zero fret also helps open string sounds to be the same as other frets. The bridges and EQ are also upgraded. The Mono-Rail V allows a wide intonation adjustment range, and each isolated bridge works for maximum vibration transfer without interference. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ and 3-way midfrequency switch allow for precise tonal control (250 Hz, 450 Hz, and 700 Hz). The Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups with rich low frequency provide a balanced, warm response with a tight bottom end and full midrange. D'Addario NYXL strings are installed, featuring a dynamic range and harmonic response. The deep cutaway of the lower horn allows effortless access to higher frets.
