Product details

6-string electric bass with 35" scale length, Bartolini pickups and active EQ

With the Ibanez Standard BTB766-CKL Charcoal Black Burst Low Gloss the Japanese guitar giant sends a 6-string noble bass with an extremely attractive price-performance ratio into the race. Besides an elaborate neck-through construction with a long 35" scale length (889 mm), the six-string features Bartolini pickups and an active EQ for versatile bass sounds, while stainless steel frets and indestructible hardware complete the equipment.

Neck-through construction with extra-long scale length

The heart of the BTB766 is an elaborate neck-through construction with an extra-long 35" scale length (889 mm) that guarantees a tight and differentiated output of all strings. The neck is made of five pieces of maple and walnut and additionally stabilized by graphite inlays. The two-ply body wings made of okoumé and ash wood also carry a curly maple top, which underlines the elegant look of the bass. With the flat BTB6 neck profile and stainless steel fretting, the six-string also offers smooth playing characteristics for any playing technique.

Flexible sound with Bartolini pickups

The two Bartolini BH2 pickups of the Ibanez BTB766-CKL promise a finely articulated noble bass tone at the bass amplifier, which is at home in almost every genre. With a tight bass foundation and full mids, the six-string presents every playing detail precisely and assertively. For precise tone adjustment, the 6-String Bass is also equipped with an active 3-band tone control with three selectable center frequencies.

Indestructible hardware equipment

Last but not least, the Standard BTB766-CKL Charcoal Black Burst Low Gloss electric bass from Ibanez comes with high-quality hardware. Six Ibanez MR5 Mono-Rail bridges on the body guarantee not only the optimal adjustment of intonation and string position, but also contribute to the finely balanced sound of the six-stringer. Ibanez bass machine heads on the headstock also ensure precise and consistent tuning.
