Awesome bass.
JHAtkin 11.02.2025
I've had my eye on a headless for a while, and as I'm getting older I find comfort has become a priority over crazy heavy metal form factors. First up, the pictures on this website are a strange colour, and the bass in reality is greyer and far cooler looking than you see here (which looks very beige - it isn't beige). This bass is really, really nice. I have a number of other fairly high end instruments and this definitely sits favourably among them. Out of the box it was set up very nicely. It required virtually no adjustment except a very minor tweak to the intonation. String height and action were perfect for me. It is extremely comfy to play. The fanned frets are not as extremely fanned as you often find, and while not as optimal for string tension as, say, a Dingwall, it is optimal for playing comfort. The nut won't stick into your hand if you play the first fret on the B string. It's great to sit with. It's great to stand with. The carve on the back angles the fretboard slightly towards you as you look down, which makes it easier to see what you're doing. Re-stringing is easy. I would suggest cutting the strings to the length of the previous strings before putting them on to avoid scuffing the head end with your clippers. The pickups are a little quiet, perhaps, for an active bass (this might just be the preamp) but the tones on offer are excellent. It's lightweight, and in all ways as comfortable as I'd hoped it would be and easy to dial in an excellent tone. If the battery runs out, flip the switch into passive mode. Very useful. The woods look gorgeous, although it did feel very dry to the touch, so I had to give it a good going over with the lemon oil on the fretboard, and a little wax over the rest. The top feels slightly rough in places, and is the only thing I could find fault with. But it is by no means a deal breaker. It will even hang on the wall if you have a wall hanging bracket that is relatively narrow. Well recommended.

Excellent

La principale qualité : le poids, et le confort i n c r o y a b l e

Je suis passé d'une Ibanez 4 cordes à frettes droites à cette basse, et je n'ai eu aucun problème d'adaptation. Au bout d'une semaine, j'avais le niveau que je peux avoir sur les autres basses "classiques".

Le son est excellent, alors que je ne l'utilise qu'en passive !

Attention à la couleur tout de même : elle est légèrement plus grise que sur les photos de Thomann, mais croyez moi elle ne laisse pas indifférent.

Conclusion : 10/10, je rachète sans réfléchir. Une basse de rêve, moderne. Aucun pb de finition de mon côté.

A very good mid-range bass
Norbert74 03.04.2024
I'm a MM Stingray fan (for Funk and Jazz-Rock), but I wanted a "nonexpensive" light instrument for my metal/djent project. I wanted multiscale and headless instrument and this Ibanez is one of the few choices.
- Craftsmanship: my particular guitar was set from the box (in tune), with a little touch is good, not on the MTD or Ken Smith level, but very good for the price. The wood is beautiful, the ss frets are well made. A little neck set (because I like low set) and pot covers set (not aligned well) and is good for show. I love the 18mm string spacing! 8.5/10
- Sound: I love the Stingray HH sound and this Ibanez is not as fat sounding, but is good for djent/metal. I don't like the Ibanez Vari-Mid Eq, I prefer Music Man and Aguillar bass preamps, but is not bad at all, it's not my taste. With all settings set to neutral and with SansAmp boost the sound is brutal. 8.5/10
- Characteristics: fanfret, headless, stainless steel frets, light and easy to carry, beautiful wood, good but not exceptional sound for my taste (but on point for metal with a little help from a good preamp and compressor). 10/10
- Overall: 9/10

Le concept
babass le bassiste 12.03.2024
La basse du futur.
Ma deuxième.
Légère, belle, ergonomique, polyvalente. Super micros, super preamp.
D'un confort absolu.
A noter que certains remontent des problèmes de finitions sur plusieurs modèles d'EHB.
