A BTB 5-string model that harmonizes distinctive character with a renowned sound.
◆ 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods
A 5-piece neck combining maple (for clear tone and strong attack) and hard walnut. Rigidity is enhanced by graphite rods installed inside the neck.
◆ Neck-through construction
The neck-through construction—delivering long sustain, rich resonance, and a seamless playing feel along the back of the neck across all frets—is arguably the BTB's greatest feature.
◆ Rosewood fretboard
Features a rosewood fretboard, the most popular choice for fretboard material, known for its balanced sound.
◆ Medium Stainless Steel frets
Equipped with stainless steel frets, offering a bright tone and high durability.
◆ Poplar Burl top / Okoume / Ash wing body
The "wing" body sections flanking the neck feature a laminated structure: Ash (for clear, cutting tone), Okoume (rich in mid-to-low frequencies), and a Poplar Burl top (offering unique figuring on every instrument).
◆ Nordstrand Big Single pickups
Equipped with Nordstrand Big Single pickups, delivering the clarity of single-coil pickups combined with a powerful, aggressive sound.
◆ Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with Mid-frequency switch
An equalizer that produces a wide-range, low-noise active sound (powered by a 006P alkaline battery).
A switch allows you to select the mid-frequency center point—crucial to the bass tone—between 250Hz, 450Hz, and 700Hz.
It also features an EQ bypass switch, allowing the instrument to be used as a passive bass. (In bypass mode: Treble knob acts as a tone control)
◆MR5S bridge
Equipped with the MR5S (monorail) bridge, which features an adjustable string spacing mechanism. Each string has its own independent bridge section, allowing string vibrations to be transmitted directly to the body.
The saddles can be moved laterally by ±1.5mm, enabling precise adjustment of the string spacing within that range to suit your playing style.
