Ibanez BTB745 — Boutique Craftsmanship & Extended-Scale Power
Experience professional-tier construction, boutique aesthetics, and massive sonic versatility. The Ibanez BTB745 is a premium 5-string electric bass engineered for modern bassists who demand superior sustain, precise articulation, and total tonal control. Built with an extra-long 35-inch scale length, this instrument maintains tight tension and crisp clarity on the low B string, ensuring every note cuts through the mix with thunderous authority.
Featuring a 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck-through construction with Ash wing bodies and Walnut tops, the BTB745 delivers exceptional natural resonance and effortless upper-fret access thanks to its deep curved cutaways.
Key Features
- Extra-Long 35" Scale Length: Superior string tension eliminates "flabby" low B performance, delivering tight, punchy low-end definition.
- Neck-Through Construction: 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck running straight through the body maximizes sustain, stability, and seamless neck-to-body tonal transfer.
- Bartolini® BH2 Pickups: Dual passive humbucking pickups feature a dual-coil style configuration, delivering warm, balanced lows with tight midrange punch and articulate highs.
- Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ: Active 3-band EQ with a 3-way Mid-Frequency Switch (250Hz, 450Hz, 700Hz) offers powerful, surgical tone shaping.
- Mono-Rail V Bridge: Independent bridge saddles isolate each string to prevent cross-talk and maximize individual vibration transfer to the body.
- Neutrik® Locking Output Jack: Securely locks your instrument cable in place to prevent accidental unplugs on stage.
