Mahogany Body and Flamed Maple Top
Mahogany is revered for its sweet sustain, smoldering tone, and an acoustical range that extends all the way from deep octaves to a singing upper register. Mahogany is also valued for its color, grain, stability and high-strength/low weight ratio. A real plus when you have to stand up and play for hours at a time. Visually, the curly pattern of flamed maple is breathtaking. Acoustically, the wavy fibers reduce the long grain stiffness and vibrate more freely - the secret to the bright, clear powerful sound.
BTB5 Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard
The 6- String Ibanez BTB1206E Prestige features neck-thru construction. The Ibanez BTB1206E's 35" scale offers tight tension with no flopping, superior articulation, and excellent sustain. Perfect for 5-strings and detuned 4-strings. An off-center line shape makes the upper fretwork on the Ibanez BTB1206E as easy to play as lower fretwork is on a standard neck. The Ibanez BTB1206E's Rosewood fingerboard offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain complimented by Abalone offset dot inlays.
Custom Pickups and 3-Band EQ
Bartolini pickups custom-designed for Ibanez complement the 35" scale of the BTB1206E Prestige bass. Bartolini pickups provide deep, warm tones while retaining treble emphasis. The Bartolini active 3-band EQ features fully independent bass, treble, and mid controls and a mini switch for quick mid-frequency adjustments of 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1kHz. 18-volt circuitry provides much greater headroom than found on standard active EQs. The Ibanez BTB1206E also features the Mono-Rail IV bridge, which offers even greater string-to-string isolation and easier string changes.
High-tech features
While the BTB1206E is traditional in style, it's completely up-to-date with the most sophisticated high-tech features such as Neutrik locking jacks and Ibanez Mono-Rail bridges. The Ibanez BTB1206E's new Mono-Rail IV Bridge offers even greater string-to-string isolation and easier string changes, and the BTB1206E's Neutrik locking jack means that you can get completely carried away without getting unplugged.
