Experience Dark And Brutal Bass Tones With The Ibanez 2022 BTB625 Iron Label BTB 5-String Bass Guitar In Black Flat
Without a doubt, your instrument should reflect the dedication you place in your musicianship and creative endeavors. At a certain point, the word “boutique” comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously combined into a stunning pro-level instrument. But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That’s where Ibanez comes in. Their ability to build small-shop quality, into inspiring yet affordable instruments, is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.
The Iron Label line was originally developed with metal and nothing but metal in mind. They modded and tweaked until Ibanez got to the heaviest-hitting metal axes they’ve ever built. They’re purposefully spartan, and you won’t find a feature here that doesn’t contribute directly to a bone rattling, earth shattering tones these guitars pump out. Carrying forward that same philosophy, the next generation of Iron Label guitars take this raw metal energy to a completely new level. They sport totally blacked out looks, and their supercharged electronics amounting to some of the heaviest-swinging metal axes Ibanez has ever produced.
