Description
The Ibanez MDM1000 is built for players who need serious versatility and modern playability in a bass that can handle anything from traditional pocket playing to technical showcase moments. This is Ibanez's contemporary take on a classic design, with a specially modified body that balances perfectly and gives you smooth access to all 24 frets. If you're gigging regularly or need one instrument that can cover multiple styles without compromise, this one delivers the goods.
The tone comes from Delta S4J single-coil pickups that cut through any mix with aggressive clarity while staying balanced across all frequencies. The real power is in the Sonitech S preamp-you get 3-band EQ, master tone that works in both active and passive modes, plus a 2-way Hexa mid system on the back that gives you six different mid-frequency points to dial in. Whether you're chasing modern slap tones, vintage fingerstyle warmth, or anything in between, the electronics give you serious control. The alder body and rosewood fretboard combination brings that well-balanced brightness with focused mids that sits perfectly in a band mix.
The roasted maple neck has a thin C profile that feels fast and comfortable, with medium stainless steel frets that handle bends and slides cleanly while lasting longer than nickel. We've found the Super All Access neck joint makes upper register work genuinely easy-no fighting to reach those high notes. The MR5S mono-rail bridge transfers string vibration efficiently for great sustain and clarity, plus you can adjust string spacing if needed. Build quality is solid throughout, from the lightweight but durable Aero-light tuners down to the included gig bag that actually fits properly.
