Bartolini® BH2 pickups for a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response.

The Ibanez BTB745-NTL is a BTB Series 5 String Right Hand Electric Bass in Natural Low Gloss. Without a doubt, your instrument should equal the quality of your effort. At some point the word "boutique" comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously crafted instrument. But what about the price? That's where Ibanez comes in. Our ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased by BTB series basses.

Features:

• 35" Scale Neck: The BTB's extra-long 35-inch neck scale offers tight, even tension with no flopping on the low end, and added sustain on the high strings. It also provides superior articulation, making it perfect for 7-string.
• Neck-through Construction: Neck-through construction provides massive sustain and excellent stability.
• Deep Cutaway: The BTB's much deeper cutaways allow effortless access to the upper frets.
• Stainless steel frets: The stainless steel frets are known for their bright tone, and they add player-friendly features, such as long durability and a smoothness to bend on.
• Zero fret: A "zero" fret provides accurate intonation, while allowing open strings to ring with the same resonance as notes played up the neck.
• Bartolini® BH2 pickups: The Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.
• Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/Mid frequency switch: The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/3-way mid-frequency switch offers tonal variations that enhance simple chord work as well as complex soloing.
• Mono-rail V bridge: The Mono-rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
• Secure high-tech Neutrik® locking output jack: Neutrik® locking jack provides stable and secure connections, preventing accidental disconnect or shock and vibration.
