Ibanez 5-String BTB Bass Workshop Multi-Scale – Blue Starburst

The Ibanez BTB Bass Workshop Multi-Scale 5-string in Blue Starburst is built for players who demand piano-like clarity on the low B, effortless upper-fret access, and boutique-level feel—without boutique-level pricing. A multi-scale, fan-fret layout evens string tension and keeps notes tight and articulate across the board, while BTB appointments bring the comfort, balance, and pro reliability gigging bassists need.
