5-Piece Jatoba/Walnut Neck

The 5 piece Jatoba/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack.

Rosewood Fretboard

Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Medium Frets

Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.

Okoume Body

The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.

Bartolini® BH2 Pickups

The Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ

The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is their latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.

Accu-Cast B500 Series Bridge

The Accu-cast B500 bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs.

EQ Bypass Switch (Passive Tone Control On Treble Pot)

The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.

3-Way Mid Frequency Switch

The 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.
