From its premium multilayer tonewoods and comfortably contoured body to its top-shelf Bartolini pickups and hardware, there isn't a thing about the BTB747 that a seasoned bass player can't instantly appreciate. The 9-piece neck is flanked by mahogany and ash wings topped with walnut. This unique tonewood combination serves as a recipe for complex harmonics and epic sustain. And a bevy of boutique touches provides the Ibanez BTB747 with all the hallmarks of an instrument you'll never want to let go of. Bartolini BH2 pickups maintain a superb balance between the BTB747's clarity and depth. They provide complexity and warmth in the mids and low-end depth that won't wash out. Long-blade pole pieces allow these dual-coil pickups to offer hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency. When you want to sculpt your BTB747's tone, just reach for the 3-band EQ. This active equalizer delivers wide frequency-range adjustments on each band. There's also a 3-way midrange switch that lets you define your instrument's presence. Whether you want round R&B throb or responsive thumb-technique punch, the BTB747 delivers.
