Features
5-piece (maple/walnut) neck with graphite reinforcement rods

Neck-through construction
The neck-through construction contributes to massive sustain and provides easy access to the highest notes on the fretboard.
Rosewood fretboard
The rosewood fretboard provides a solid, well-balanced sound with well-defined midrange.
Stainless steel frets ("medium" size)
The stainless steel frets are robust and durable.
Poplar burl top / Okoume body with ash wings
A superb poplar burl top, combined with an okoume body featuring ash wings, delivers bright, solid tones and rich sustain.
Nordstrand™ "Big Single" pickups
The Nordstrand™ "Big Single" pickups feature a soapbar-sized single coil. They deliver a dense, powerful, and incisive sonic texture while retaining the characteristic clarity of single-coil pickups.
Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with midrange frequency selector
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ represents our latest evolution in tonal control: simple, direct, and effective. The midrange boost and cut functions operate at slightly different frequencies, an innovation that provides access to the most flattering bass tones via preset settings.
MR5S bridge
The MR5S bridge is equipped with adjustable saddles that allow the string spacing to be varied by +/- 1.5 mm, thus meeting the specific string spacing needs of every bassist.
