The multi–scale concept might seem unconventional at first glance, yet players find themselves surprisingly comfortable with the instrument within moments of picking it up. The varying fret–to–bridge distances work to enhance the overall tonality, resulting in a superior sounding bass that stands apart from traditional designs.
For over four decades, Ibanez has consistently pushed the boundaries of bass development, creating innovative instruments that serve players across all musical styles. This pioneering approach has resulted in some of the most successful and widely recognised production basses in the industry, establishing new pathways for musical expression and creativity.
The Ibanez Bass Workshop represents the continuation of this exploratory spirit, bringing fresh and relevant concepts to the forefront of bass design. Each unique instrument in this ongoing project stems from the development team’s commitment to addressing the specific requirements of diverse players, recognising that while these innovations may not suit everyone, they offer exciting new sonic possibilities for those ready to explore uncharted musical territory.
