Ibanez EHB1005SMS Electric Headless Bass (Metallic Matte)

Riding the wave of the new trend within the guitar world, Ibanez takes it a step further and brings this feature to a new line of basses. The Ibanez EHB1005SMS Headless Bass features a multi-scale fretboard to emphasize their focus on comfort and accessibility. Its slanted back furthers this focus, allowing a closer and more comfortable seated or standing playing position. The Vari-mid 3-band EQ features a variable mid-frequency control which allows you to dial in an incredibly wide range of sounds. 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 MR5HS bridge is designed especially for the EHB basses and features wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently and securely attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer, and the saddles are adjustable for string spacing +/-1.5mm, answering every bassist’s individual string spacing demands, no matter what playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action. A detachable Finger ramp is included for comfortable finger picking.
