. Description
Sound & Tone
The pair of α1 passive pickups gives the EHB600 a clear, articulate voice with firm low-end definition, and the okoume body paired with a five-piece maple and jatoba neck and jatoba fretboard keeps notes tight and focused rather than woolly. The 3-band custom EQ shapes the midrange and top end for slap and modern fingerstyle work, while the bypass switch drops you back to a more transparent passive sound suited to rock, funk, and session playing. Full 34" scale with 19mm string spacing and .045-.105 strings supports even string-to-string response, making it comfortable for tapping, chordal parts, and upper-register lines.
Ibanez EHB600 Headless Bass in Purist Blue Matte B-Stock
The EHB600 is built for bass players who demand modern ergonomics without compromise. Its headless design and carefully engineered body contours eliminate the traditional headstock while preserving the full 34" scale length—the result is exceptional balance, reduced neck fatigue on long gigs, and a compact footprint that moves easily through tight stage spaces. The okoume body in Purist Blue Matte pairs visual presence with practical weight savings for extended playing sessions.
Playability & Construction
A five-piece maple and jatoba neck with jatoba fretboard and white dot inlays delivers structural stability and tonal punch, while 24 medium frets keep both intonation precise and upper-register access comfortable for intricate lines and solos. The MR5HS bridge with 0.75" (19mm) string spacing locks in tuning and maintains clean string alignment across the EHB600's entire range. Neck dimensions of 1.61" at the nut and 2.52" at the 24th fret, with a 19.69" fretboard radius, provide consistent feel across the 34" scale—critical for reliable live performance.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of α1 passive pickups paired with Ibanez's proprietary 3-band custom EQ and EQ bypass switch delivers articulate, responsive tone with true passive operation when needed. Toggle between transparent passive character for vintage clarity or fully shaped response for modern definition, backed by D'Addario EXL165 strings (.045/.065/.085/.105 gauge) that provide articulate low-end definition and stage reliability.
