Ibanez EHB1500 Features:
- Ergonomic Body Design: The EHB’s headless construction and specially designed body enable the player to maintain a similar playing position whether seated or standing.
- Slated Body Back: The top half of the back of the body is slanted which allows the bass to rest slightly closer to the player’s body for better control and a more ergonomic feel.
- Comfortably Rounded Body Edge, Chambered Body: Its contoured, ergonomic design and chambered body make for a lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable instrument that’s excellent for long sets or practice session.
- Poplar Burl Top and Selected Light Weight African Mahogany Body: A stunning Poplar Burl top and a selected light weight African Mahogany body provides a warm tone with rich resonance.
- Scooped Cut on the Body Back: There is extra carving on the back of the body behind the lower horn for easier upper fret access.
- 9pc Panga Panga/Walnut neck w/Graphite Reinforcement Rods: The 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck provides superior note attack, tight lows and increased sustain with the Panga Panga fretboard.
- Luminescent Side Dot Inlays: Luminescent side dot inlay provides clear visibility in dark environments.
- Nordstrand™ Big Split Custom Pickups: The Nordstrand™ Big Split single-coil pickups utilize hum-canceling split coils, minimizing noise. With a hybrid P/J style, these pickups offer a rich, strong, and well-balanced tone, suitable for diverse playing styles.
- Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ w/EW Bypass Switch: The Vari-mid 3-band EQ includes a variable mid-frequency control for a broad spectrum of sound customization. Additionally, it features an EQ bypass switch, enabling passive operation, with the treble control acting as a passive tone control when the EQ is bypassed.
- MR5HS Mono Rail Bridge W/String Spacing Adjustable Saddles: The EHB basses are equipped with the specialized MR5HS bridge, offering a wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently attached to the body, ensuring optimal vibration transfer. Adjustable saddles accommodate string spacing preferences (+/-1.5mm) for various playing styles. Teflon washers on each tuner provide a smooth tuning action.
- Schaller S-Locks Strap Pins and Neutrik Locking Jack: Schaller S-Lock strap lock pins and a Neutrik locking jack hold the strap and cable securely.
