Ibanez EHB1506MSBIF EHB Ergonomic Headless 6-String Multi-Scale Bass Guitar, Panga Panga Fretboard, Black Ice Flat

Item Specifics

We're proud to present this stunning Ibanez EHB1506MS 6-string bass in a striking Black Ice Flat finish! A headless, multi-scale, 6-string bass - you certainly don't see that every day.

The EHB1506MS series features a figured Poplar Burl top on an African Mahogany body, a combination that offers warm tones and rich resonance. A 9-piece Pangea Panga/Walnut neck imparts strong attack with tight low-end, while the Panga Panga fretboard delivers ample sustain.

The EHB’s headless construction and body shape enable you to maintain a similar playing position whether you're seated or standing. Its contoured, ergonomic design and chambered body make for a lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable instrument that’s excellent for long sets or practice sessions. Also, the top half of the back of the body is slanted which allows the bass to rest slight closer to your body for better control and a more ergonomic feel. 

The Nordstrand™ Big Split linear humbuckers supply a punchy, powerful, and well-balanced tone, taking tonal characteristics from both P and J pickups. The Nordstrands are paired with a 3-band active EQ with a variable mid-frequency. There is also an EQ bypass switch for passive operation with the treble control acting as a passive tone control when the EQ is bypassed. The electronics package supplies a variety of different tones suitable for a wide range of styles.

Ibanez nailed the combination of ergonomics, modern features, playability and tone on this unique instrument.
