Ibanez’s Next-level 6-string Bass Standard

As Ibanez continues to explore the furthest depths of subterranean sound shaping, the BTB Standard BTB606 bass emerges. Forged with six strings of potent possibilities, a tonewood tetrad of okoume, maple, jatoba, and rosewood undergird this bass’s foundations, electrified by an unbridled suite of Ibanez Custom Electronics crafted to contour, control, and configure your perfectly personalized low-end array. Its neck-through construction and 5-piece neck are complemented by methodical shaping and beveling, impressing AJ’s Music & The Music Man’s bassists with its adaptable yet aggressive playability, providing ample access to its frenzy of fretboard ferocity. With eye-catching aesthetics exceeded by detailed and dynamic tone-crafting tools, the Ibanez BTB Standard BTB606 spares no effort to ensure its six strings of powerful and pliable performances are always at the ready.

A quadrature of tonal supports

Utilizing a neck-through construction, the fearsome foursome of the Ibanez BTB Standard BTB606’s tonewood foundations is fertile ground for nurturing the nicest and gnarliest of tones. A 5-piece maple and jatoba blend comprises its neck and core, marrying the bell-like presence and ringing projection of jatoba with the full-spectrum brightness and note-separating articulation of maple. Okoume wings augment the resonance of this bass, with its natural brightness and warmth complementing the same properties found in the neck-core maple. Up top, a rosewood fretboard completes the quadrumvirate of tonewoods, capping your sound with crystalline character and timbral transparency, eschewing muddy lows and cloying highs yet retaining power and presence.

Ibanez Custom Electronics and seriously sweepable mids

Ibanez’s luthiers and engineers worked in tandem to ensure the Ibanez Custom Electronics crafted for this bass were tailored to capture and deploy the distinctive sonic assemblage of the BTB Standard BTB606’s foundational tonewoods. A prismatic pair of α1 (Alpha 1) humbuckers are adorned by a constellation of controls, including a 3-band EQ, Balancer, Master Volume, and dedicated knobs for Bass, Middle, and Treble frequency bands. What’s more, a 3-way mini-switch augments your aural armature with an array of sweepable mids and customizable sound design, ensuring your tones are teeming with pocket-worthy panache.

Contoured for comfort and designed for diversity

Opting for a 5-piece neck and neck-through construction for this BTB Standard BTB606, Ibanez was able to not only enrich the resonant faculties and harmonic aperture of this 6-string slayer but significantly increase the instrument’s dimensional stability. Doing this ensures increased resilience to twisting, warping, or further environmental influences; it also reduces the number of maintenance trips to the workbench, allowing you to spend more time making music and less time fretting. Moreover, this assembly allows for a near-seamless heel joint, which — coupled with its accessibility-focused cutaways, meticulous body contouring, and ultra-fast BTB6 neck profile — supports unencumbered fretboard pyrotechnics all over the 24 frets that sprawl the bass’s 35-inch scale and 37.4-inch fingerboard radius. Toss in a rock-solid set of Ibanez-engineered hardware, and the BTB Standard BTB606 6-string electric bass is a no-punches-pulled powerhouse of low-frequency fervor, just waiting to be tamed in any arena.
