BTB806MS-TGF Transparent Gray Flat BTB Multi Scale

The BTB806MS is an instrument that is part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop series. Ibanez Bass Workshop is a bass department at Ibanez that works under the motto "From Concept To Reality", where the goal is to develop new and exciting bass concepts. Or to test already existing, but odd, concepts. Here you will find instruments that take electric bass a step further, odd birds stuffed with innovation for those who want to take their bass playing a step further.

BTBMS is a series of BTB basses equipped with fanned frets, which is a method of being able to have different scales on different strings, a so-called multi-scale fingerboard. This is done, among other things, to get optimal scale length for all strings. Low strings sounds significantly better, firmer, tighter and stuns, with a longer scale while the thin strings become hard, plonky and very hard to play with as long a scale as the low strings need. Fanned frets, multi-scale, are the solution to this, tight and stable low notes and highs with maintained snap and warmth.
