Description
The Ibanez EHB605WNF Ergonomic Headless Bass 5 String in Walnut Flat is built for bassists who want a lightweight, ergonomic instrument with extended range and modern versatility. This one's ideal for intermediate to pro-level players who need that extra low B for today's heavier or more complex arrangements, while still keeping comfort and balance front and center. The headless design and sculpted, contoured body are part of Ibanez's Bass Workshop series, where innovative designs meet real-world performance.
This 5-string model uses a 5-piece Maple/Jatoba neck and an Okoume body, paired with a Jatoba fretboard and medium frets for articulate note definition and a tight low end. Ibanez's custom α1 pickups deliver a clear, modern voice with plenty of mids and lows to handle the extended range, while the onboard 3-band EQ with passive bypass lets you shape your tone quickly. Whether you're on stage or tracking in the studio, it gives you the flexibility and control you need.
Ergonomics are where the EHB605 really excels. The slanted back, chambered body, and carefully contoured cutaways make it lightweight and balanced. The MR5HS mono-rail bridge keeps each string isolated for improved sustain and intonation, and with adjustable string spacing, you can fine-tune the feel to your preference. It's a seriously comfortable and dependable 5-string that's ready to work as hard as you do.
