【used】Ibanez / EHB1265MS 2023 3.62kg #I230402792【GIB Hyogo】【Plek-adjusted】

Ibanez is a leading Japanese guitar and bass brand, globally renowned alongside Fender and Gibson.

This is the EHB1265MS, an innovative modern bass featuring an ergonomically designed headless design and multi-scale construction.

While incorporating the previously unpopular headless design, the overall harmonious balance demonstrates the company's high level of design expertise.

The body features a chic walnut top and an ash back.

The chambered, compact, and lightweight body fits perfectly against the body whether standing or sitting, minimizing player fatigue during long playing sessions.

The neck is a robust 9-piece construction combining Panga Panga and walnut, with the fingerboard also using Panga Panga.

It also incorporates graphite reinforcement rods, boasting extremely high rigidity against environmental changes.

The multi-scale design, which gradually changes from 35 inches to 33 inches, achieves both the tight tension of the low-B string and the supple playability of the higher strings.

The fact that the string tension is more uniform also makes the neck more resistant to twisting, which is very logical.

The MR5HS bridge, with its independent string structure, allows for precise adjustment of the string spacing to the player's preference, as the saddles can move ±1.5mm left and right.

The pickups are Bartolini BH2s, renowned for their rich bass and punchy midrange.

The preamp is a Vari-mid 3-band EQ that allows for stepless adjustment of the mid frequency (250Hz to 16kHz).

It can also be instantly switched to passive mode with a single switch.

The generous use of high-quality electronics and hardware, which is usually unthinkable in this price range, is a major appeal unique to Ibanez, a globally distributed company.

The sound is characterized by a moderate airiness, a wide range, and a tight, fast attack.

The clear tone with good separation and stable pitch makes it highly compatible with technical solo playing and modern ensembles utilizing multiple strings.

This is an ambitious work that brings specifications previously only found in extremely expensive high-end models to an accessible level, paving the way for the next generation of standards.

The frets have approximately 80% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

The body and paintwork have scattered dents and scratches.

The electronics are in good condition.
