Ibanez EHB5MSBSP Multi-Scale Bass in Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte B-Sto

Ibanez EHB5MSBSP 5-String Headless Bass in Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte

The EHB5MSBSP is a modern multi-scale headless bass built for gigging bassists who demand comfort during extended sets and reliable performance night after night. Its chambered basswood body with ergonomic slanted back reduces fatigue during marathon sessions, while the compact headless construction delivers exceptional portability for traveling musicians without sacrificing tonal depth or resonance on stage.

Playability & Ergonomic Design

The 9-piece panga panga and walnut neck with graphite reinforcement provides the stability and responsiveness a working bassist needs across the full range. With a 500mm (20-inch) fingerboard radius, 24 stainless steel fanned frets, and multi-scale construction, this design accommodates the lower B-string with ideal tension while maintaining comfortable playability on the higher strings for quick position shifts during live performance. The panga panga fretboard, double cutaway body with prominent upper horn, acrylic position markers, and luminescent side dots support extended reach and intuitive navigation whether seated or standing—critical for reading charts and staying locked in with the band.

Electronics & Tone Shaping

Fishman Fluence active pickups paired with a Fishman 3-band EQ featuring mid control centered at 630Hz deliver the versatile voicing a professional bassist needs to cut through any mix. The 3-way voice select switch and single coil mode switch (push-pull) provide flexible tone-shaping on the fly, while the individual Monorail V HS bridges with adjustable string spacing ensure precise intonation and tonal clarity that stays solid through a full night of playing. A locking Neutrik output jack guarantees reliable signal transmission—no dropped cables on stage.
