Straight out of the Ibanez Bass Workshop, the BTB7MS seven-string wonder has been built to break boundaries. Get fully creative and fully expressive with this exquisitely crafted electric bass, not just because it has seven strings, but because this is a multi-scale bass, meaning that the scale length shifts from 35 inches at the lowest gauged string to 33.5 inches at the highest gauged string. As a result, the string tension is increasingly lowered, making navigating more complex bass lines and melodic phrases an even smoother experience. And, when it comes to build-quality, you're getting the stable foundation of a nine-piece maple, panga panga and walnut neck shot through two ash and okoume body wings plus a rosewood fretboard with an impressively flat 37.4 inch radius. The Ibanez BTB7MS 7-String: Modern Speed & Playability The neck-through construction and deep cutaways grant effortless access to every last one of the twenty-four, ultra-durable stainless-steel frets while the narrow, 15.5mm string-spacing supports fast, modern playability. When it comes to the output, two T1 pickups, each with a unique, individually mounted coil deliver defined trebles, articulate mids and tight basses. Mix the sound of both pickups via the balance pot before bringing everything to shape via the especially potent and versatile Custom Electronics 3-band EQ controls and three-way mid-frequency switch and, for even more variation, simply hit the EQ bypass switch and shift the sound from active to passive at will.
