The BTB-Boutique Bass series spins a new history of basses from Ibanez!

The Ibanez BTB-Boutique Bass is a bass with a high spec and expressive power that stimulates the player's sensitivity. For 2017, Ibanez is revamping the BTB basses with new features, while maintaining the same excellent playability and sustain.
Stainless steel frets, zero frets, Bartolini(R) BH2 pickup, and a host of other attractive specs make the BTB745/BTB746 the perfect choice for rich tone.

Features
Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/Mid frequency switch
Wide range & low noise equalizer for active sound. (Powered by 006P alkaline batteries.)
By switching the switch, the mid frequency range, which is the key to the bass sound, can be switched between 250Hz, 450Hz, and 700Hz.
Bartolini(R) BH2 pickups
The Bartolini(R) BH2 pickups feature a well-balanced warm response with a tight bottom end and rich midrange.
MR5 bridge
The MR5 (monorail) bridge is independent of each string and is not affected by the vibrations of other strings.
The saddle is fixed to the bridge body with a screw to transmit the string vibration to the body more securely.

FAQs

What is the advantage of a 5-string bass guitar? ›

Pros of a Five-String Bass

They let you play lower notes without needing to detune or drop tune. This gives you more options while maintaining string tension for a fuller sound. You can get to lower notes when you're higher on the neck, meaning less movement to play songs with more dynamic ranges.

Do Ibanez basses need batteries? ›

Q: why the battery in an Ibanez gsr200 bass ? There is one because it is an active pickup so it is for the active eq and bass boost. Q: does it work with out any battery? No, it's an active bass, and will require a 9V battery to work.

How high is the action on a Ibanez 5-string bass? ›

Ibanez action is set to 2.0mm for treble side and 2.5mm for bass side at the 12th fret.

What is the low string on a 5-string bass tuned to? ›

Standard Bass Tuning

This is the most common way to tune a 5-string bass. Just like a regular 4-string bass, you've got the standard E, A, D, and G strings. But you also have an extra low B string. So your tuning is B, E, A, D, G.

Are 5 string basses harder to play? ›

The more strings there are, the more there is to keep quiet. Also, the strings get closer together making some playing styles (e.g. slap bass) a little trickier. You have to be more accurate. And, the neck gets wider.

Can a beginner start with a 5 string bass? ›

When buying your first bass guitar, consider opting for a standard four-string bass. Then, once you master four strings, you can challenge yourself by branching out into five- and six-string bass territory.

Do I need an amp for my bass guitar? ›

Can I play my bass guitar without connecting it to an amp? Yes, you can play your bass guitar without an amp, but it will be quiet and lack the fullness that an amplifier provides. It's similar to acoustically playing an electric guitar – you hear it, but not clearly.

Do bass guitars need tuning? ›

As a general rule, basses stay in tune easier than a regular guitar, but you still want to check your tuning every time you play. If it doesn't sound quite right when you are playing, or if it sounds “off” when playing along with recordings, it is a good idea to check your standard tuning for a bass guitar.

Do basses break guitar amps? ›

Since the amp cannot handle the low frequencies of the bass guitar, it can potentially cause distortion. This issue occurs when the low frequencies pass a point where the amp can no longer perform its duties. Aside from a compromised sound, damaging the components of an amplifier can also occur.

How high is too high bass action? ›

How high should the action be on a bass guitar? In an ideal situation, the distance between the top of the 12th fret and the bottom of the lowest-E string should be around 2.4 mm. On the other hand, the distance between the 12th fret and the 'G' string should be 2 mm.

What gauge for 5 string bass? ›

045-. 130 for a 5-string set. If you tune down lower than standard tuning then you will probably need a heavier gauge to compensate for the lower tension - otherwise it will flap around, buzz and struggle to hold onto the note.

What should the action on a 5 string bass be? ›
