The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound. The 5pc Maple/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack. Panga Panga fretboard features a beautiful wood grain which produces a tight low and mid range, along with a sharp attack on high end. The multi scale construction equalizes tension of each string and it helps to create a more "alive", open tone. Graph Tech RATIO machine heads facilitate easy, smooth, and accurate tuning due to their unique mechanism and design. The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist's specific string spacing needs. Fishman Fluence pickups are the first for bass to feature stainless covers. This new EQ was developed by Fishman for Ibanez and is built around a newly added mid control. The center frequency for the mid control is 630Hz. The Single Coil Mode switch adds even more tonal flexibility to pickups. The Voice Selector switch offers players a wide palette of sounds to cover all playing styles.
