Ibanez EHB605 5-String Bass Guitar - Purist Blue Matte

The Ibanez EHB605 Bass Workshop is a modern 5-string bass designed around ergonomic playability, tonal flexibility, and a comfortable headless construction. Its Okoume body, 5-piece Maple/Jatoba neck, and Jatoba fingerboard provide a bright, solid response with enhanced resonance, while the α1 passive pickups deliver clear, open tones with strong mids and lows.

Ergonomic Headless Design

The EHB605 features a carefully contoured body designed to maintain a natural playing position whether standing or seated. Rounded body edges, a slanted back, and a scooped rear cut improve comfort and upper-fret access, making the bass particularly well suited to extended playing sessions.

Versatile 5-String Tonal Response

Dual α1 passive pickups provide tonal clarity and an open response with abundant mids and lows. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ provides flexible boost and cut controls, while the EQ bypass switch allows the player to switch to passive operation. In passive mode, the treble control functions as a global tone control.

Adjustable Bridge and Premium Neck Construction

The 5-piece Maple/Jatoba neck provides strength and enhanced resonance, while the Jatoba fingerboard offers a rich midrange and crisp high end. The MR5HS bridge features independently adjustable saddles with a wide intonation range and adjustable string spacing, allowing players to customize the feel to their playing style.
