Ibanez BTB866SC 6-String Electric Bass – Weathered Black

The Ibanez BTB866SC is a premium 6-string electric bass designed for serious bassists who demand depth, clarity, and extended range. Featuring a neck-through-body design, this instrument delivers incredible sustain and a rich tonal foundation, making it ideal for modern progressive, jazz, or metal players.

The BTB65 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck is reinforced with graphite rods and runs through an Ash/Okoume wing body, topped with Ash for a resonant and dynamic response. A sleek Rosewood fretboard with Abalone dot inlays and 24 medium stainless steel frets (plus a zero fret) provides smooth playability across its extended 35” scale length.

The electronics package includes dual Bartolini® BH2 passive pickups and a powerful Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with a mid-frequency switch, giving you massive tone-shaping control. Whether you're dialing in warm low-end or punchy highs, the BTB866SC delivers versatility and sonic power.

Finished in an industrial-inspired Weathered Black, this 6-string bass is as bold visually as it is sonically. It’s outfitted with a solid MR5 bridge and black hardware, while the 17mm string spacing ensures accuracy for intricate fingerstyle or slap techniques.
