Ibanez BTB806 Multi-Scale 6 String Bass – Transparent Gray Flat (B-Stock)

The Ibanez BTB806 Multi-Scale is a premium 6‑string bass designed for players who demand exceptional clarity, articulation, and ergonomic playability. This B‑Stock model features an over‑sprayed finish oil on top of the headstock that does not affect performance or structural integrity.

Features & Benefits

• Poplar Burl / Okoume / Ash Wing Body: Delivers bright, solid tones with rich sustain and stunning aesthetics.
• Medium Stainless Steel Frets: Extremely durable, offering long‑lasting smooth playability.
• T1 Pickups: Individually mounted coils provide tight lows, punchy mids, clear highs, and improved ergonomic comfort.
• Neck‑Through Construction: Ensures massive sustain and seamless upper‑fret access.
• 5pc Maple/Walnut Neck with Graphite Reinforcement: Provides stability, clarity, and excellent attack.
• MR5S Bridge: Adjustable saddles allow customized string spacing (+/‑ 1.5mm).
• Ibanez Custom 3‑Band EQ: Offers precision tonal control with EQ bypass and 3‑way mid frequency switch.
• Panga Panga Fretboard: Produces tight lows/mids and a sharp high‑end attack with beautiful natural grain.

Why It Stands Out

The BTB806 Multi‑Scale sets itself apart with its advanced pickup ergonomics, durable stainless steel frets, and powerful tonal flexibility. Combined with its exotic Poplar Burl top, neck‑through construction, and multi‑scale comfort, it offers professional performance suitable for any genre—from progressive metal to modern jazz and session work.
