And all my habits have changed. Coming directly from a 4 string that I played daily for the last year.. I tried the smaller cousin BTB605MS and nearly bought it, but always saw and read reviews for this one, so eventually took the plunge.
6 strings of pure raw power.. EQ is mental, tonality changes are incredible.. connected to the PC.. or to the small Rumble 15, it just wants to bring the house down.
Despite being on the heavy side, broader neck and 37'', it is by far the most comfortable bass I have ever played. From neck profile, to frets, the way picks are placed, everything is on point.
Space between strings could be a bit wider, but it's perfectly adaptable.
The bass looks and feels even better up close, but it is not for everyone, some people say it's "camo" paint, but it's the wood natural design.
If you are looking for a 6 string and multiscale, this is for sure one to put in your shortlist!!

Guter solider Multiscale Bass
HimiJ 06.03.2023
Das ist mein erster Multiscale Bass. Es gibt nicht viele leistbare 6 Saiter Multiscale. Dingwall habe ich mir überlegt aber die sind meisten sind 5 Saiter, fast doppel so teuer und Lieferzeit ist in Monaten.
Ich hab vorher auch Ibanez Bass gehabt. Und wegen der Halsaufbau und Saitenabstand, wollte ich wieder Ibanez.

Features sind tool. Für mich wichtige waren: Neckthrough design, aktiv EQ mit Bypass, multiscale und BTB Korpus wegen balance Hals/Korpus.
Was bei 6 Saiter problematisch ist, dass der Hals nach unten zieht (neck dive). Bei diesem Modell muss ich sagen, dass der Balance ganz gut ist. Viel besser als bei meinem SR 6 Saiter.
T1 Pickups kenne ich nicht klingen aber toll. Das ist natürlich Subjektiv. Mit dem EQ lassen sich die mitten sehr gut anpassen.
Der Bass ist recht schwer aber das habe ich auch nix anders erwartet. Dafür zieht der Hals nicht nach unten. Abhilfe hier wäre ein Doppelgurt vom GruvGear.
Der mitgelieferte Koffer is leicht und passgenau. Ich weiss nur nicht, wo ich den Bassgurt in dem Koffer hin tun soll!? Ibanez könnt vielleicht aus Erfahrung wissen, dass Bassisten einen breiten Gurt tragen und es gern im Koffer verstauen.

Was mit nicht so gefällt ist die recht feste Neutrik Buchse. Mit einer Hand den Stecker entriegeln & ziehen ist extrem schwer. Dafür ist die Buchse auch unzerstörbar. Ich empfehle hier nur top Qualität Kabeln mit 90 grad Stecker zu verwenden . Die Farbe ist mehr schwarz wie Braun. Das kann man nicht als natürliche Variation vom Holz bezeichnen. Die Farbe fand ich dennoch schön, auch wenn nicht wie erwartet. Akkudeckel lässt sich nicht so gut schließen. Ich muss es sorgfältig einrasten ohne viel Druck. Aber es hält zumindest noch.

Ein Punkt Abzug, weil die Saiten korrodiert waren und Koffer wegen Platz gründen werde ich einen neuen besorgen müssen. Und Ja Akkudeckel konnte besser sein.

Ich finde den Bass für mich Top und werde es behalten. Der erfüllt meine Anforderungen. Die Kleinigkeiten, die mich stören, lassen sie eh wieder gut machen. Wichtig ist, dass das Instrument akustisch gut gebaut ist. Denn dass lässt sich nicht ändern.

Abwicklung/Verpackung vom Thomann war sehr gut. Das funktioniert recht gut finde ich. Ich hätte mit nur gewünscht, dass der Außenkarton ein TOP Zeichen gehabt hätte. Und vielleicht für Instrumente auch HANDLE WITH CARE drauf schreiben. Der Postler hat es irgendwie getragen und verkehrt hingestellt. Der Bass war zum Glück in seinem eigenem Koffer. Die Verpackung war gut daher Gott sein Dank nix passiert.

Almost too nice to play

Usually, I pick instruments from low-middle price range and modify them to suit my needs, but looking for a 37"+ scale fanfret bass, there is no such thing yet as middle priced.

I made my mind, and waited for this bass to arrive back into stock, patiently sitting back for 8 weeks. It was worth the wait and worth every euro. The bass manages to look even better in real life than in the pictures with the muted finish.

I've waited a couple of weeks before writing this review, to properly get a feel for the bass. Thanks to the T1 pickups that were definitely a step up from the Bartolinis used in most other Ibanez models, it can fit well into any genre with some tweaks to the EQ. I mainly use it for metal, and thanks to the long scale and fanfrets, the string tension is high enough to deliver a uniform sound across all strings, and the low B does not feel like a wet noodle. It absolutely growls when playing through DI into Parallax and delivers exactly the sound I need. High string tension also allows running low action without accidental fret buzz even when playing hard, mine has settled after shipping to be precisely 2mm at 12th fret on low B and I've left it so.

The fret fanning is pretty extreme on this one and took a few playing sessions to really get used to finger placement when playing fast at 1-3 frets. Afterwards, feels perfectly natural and I can play this for hours without getting finger or wrist pain. I don't have particularly long fingers.

It holds tune well against my hard playing, I've had to tune a few strings every few weeks or so, so basically never. A word of warning on the cable plug though, it definitely prevents any accidental disconnections, but initially can prevent intentional ones as well. I was a bit scared at how hard I had to pull to get the cable out, even when holding the release button.

Sadly I don't have and don't know anyone with a Dingwall, and they are virtually nonexistent where I live. Based purely on my ears, I feel I can bang out early Periphery tones by mimicking Nolly's signal chain without a sweat.

Strings are expensive though, at the time of writing this, 55 euros for a new pack and only D'addario seems to sell strings long enough. Just something to keep in mind.

I love it. The bass to end all other basses, and for the first time ever, I can think about selling my other 2 basses without any second doubts. Its that good!
