Electric Bass Guitar · Japan / Indonesia · Introduced 2017
The Ibanez BTB1835 is a boutique-tier five-string electric bass guitar engineered for professional musicians who demand uncompromising build quality, extended scale length tension, and state-of-the-art active electronics. Constructed with a 9-piece neck-through construction of wenge, bubinga, maple, and graphite reinforcement rods flanked by solid mahogany wings, a walnut accent, and a gorgeous poplar burl top, it delivers staggering sustain and absolute structural rigidity. The 35-inch extra-long scale length ensures tight, articulate tension on the low B string even in drop tunings. It is powered by dual Aguilar DCB humbucking pickups paired with a Custom Electronics 3-band active EQ and 3-way mid-frequency switch, offering pristine transparent tone-shaping. The MR5S bridge allows independent string isolation and adjustable spacing.
