Ibanez EHB1505MS Headless 5-String Bass Black Ice Flat B-Stock

B-Stock with a small chip on the upper horn — purely cosmetic and does not affect playability or function. The Ibanez EHB1505MS is a modern, high-performance headless 5-string bass designed with precision ergonomics, premium tonewoods, and cutting-edge electronics. This model’s multi-scale design ensures superior string tension balance, articulation, and comfort across the fretboard, whether you’re playing aggressive metal lines or smooth fusion grooves.

The Poplar Burl top and lightweight African Mahogany body create a warm, resonant tone with exceptional clarity, while the 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck with graphite reinforcement delivers rock-solid stability and sustain. Powered by a pair of Nordstrand™ Big Split custom pickups and a Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with bypass, this bass offers an incredibly versatile tonal palette suited for any genre. The MR5HS mono-rail bridge with adjustable string spacing and Schaller S-Locks ensures maximum tuning stability and player comfort. Includes Ibanez gig bag.
