Ibanez BTB Bass Guitars

Ibanez BTB Basses for Gigging Players

A BTB is made for bassists who want a lot of neck under their hand. The wide board and 35" scale give strings room and a firm, defined attack, which helps notes stay clear when the guitars and drums are loud around you. Neck-through and bolt-on versions let you choose between a more continuous feel and a more traditional build.

On stage, the Bartolini pickups and Vari-mid EQ are the useful part. You can sweep the midrange to cut through a dense band mix or pull it back for a rounder sound, without needing to rebuild your tone at every venue. Pick a 4-string for straightforward duty, a 5 or 6 for extended low and high range, or the BTB805MS and BTB806MS multiscales if fanned frets suit your playing and string tension.

The Bass Workshop tier suits players wanting a dependable working bass, and the Premium tier appeals to those wanting to step up. Stock at LV Guitars is limited right now, with a multiscale BTB-805 and a B-Stock BTB605 5-string in Transparent Gray Flat among the options.

Ibanez BTB Bass Guitars - frequently asked questions

What string options does the Ibanez BTB bass series offer?

The BTB series covers 4-, 5- and 6-string basses, all built around a wide neck and a long 35" scale. There are also two multiscale models, the BTB805MS and BTB806MS, which use fanned frets for a more even feel and tension across the strings.

Are Ibanez BTB basses good for metal and modern styles?

Yes, the BTB is a natural fit for rock, metal, fusion and modern styles where extended low range matters. Bartolini pickups and Vari-mid EQ give a broad tonal range, from tight and articulate to thick and low-heavy, and 5- and 6-string versions add low-end reach.

What is the difference between the Bass Workshop and Premium BTB models?

Bass Workshop models are the more accessible entry point into the BTB series, while the Premium tier moves up the lineup. Both share the wide neck and 35" scale, and the range includes neck-through and bolt-on builds. B-Stock units, which are open-box, discounted and fully covered, are sometimes available too.
