Description
The Ibanez MDM1000 is built for players who need serious versatility and modern functionality in a bass that can handle anything from traditional grooves to highly technical performances. This is Ibanez's contemporary take on a classic design, engineered with features that matter to working bassists-24-fret access, ergonomic playability, and extensive tonal control. If you're looking for a bass that bridges vintage vibe with modern capability, this one delivers without compromise.
The Delta S4J pickups bring aggressive yet balanced single-coil tone that cuts through any mix while staying noise-free thanks to their hum-canceling design. What really sets this apart is the Sonitech S preamp system-you get master volume, balancer, 3-band EQ, and a unique 3-way mid-frequency switch. The real trick is the 2-way Hexa mid system on the back, giving you six selectable mid-frequency points (250Hz, 350Hz, 450Hz, 600Hz, 850Hz, and 1KHz) for precise tonal shaping. The master tone works in both active and passive modes, and there's an EQ bypass switch when you want to go completely passive.
The roasted maple neck has a thin C-profile that feels fast and comfortable, with rounded fretboard edges and medium stainless steel frets that handle bends and slides cleanly. The Super All Access neck joint gives you smooth reach to all 24 frets, while the MR5S mono-rail bridge with adjustable 19mm string spacing delivers excellent clarity and sustain. We've found these to be exceptionally well-built instruments-the lightweight Aero-light tuners are rock-solid, and the overall construction feels gig-ready from day one.
