This. Axe. Is. Bold. The BTB1936 is the definition of swagger. And it’s easy to see why. With two Aguilar pickups on board, you’ll be playing all your favourite riffs with even more oomph. Both single coils promise tight bottom end with a smooth response. Easily go from clean and pristine to dirty and distorted without muddying your mid-range. Articulation is maximised, so whether you’re going heavy on pick attack or walking the fretboard with fingers, you’ll always get plenty of dynamic expression. In short, your basslines will be full of character with plenty of string-to-string response.
Versatility redefined. The BTB1936 brings more to metal. Ibanez have introduced advanced electronics to their flagship bass. And the results are obvious. Effortless tonal sculpting that is equal parts simplistic and powerful. Take a look for yourself. Tweak your EQ with a 3-band equaliser that promises no-nonsense control. Just great tone. Cut your bass, boost your mids, or balance your treble. It couldn’t be easier. You can even select passive only operation for that added touch of brightness. All controls are in one convenient to reach place, right next to your volume control. No more running across the stage to your amp. It’s all at your fingertips. Now reach out and take it.
And that’s exactly what sets the BTB1936 apart from the rest. Ibanez have thought of every aspect, meticulously designing this signature bass with excellence in mind. From the maple/walnut top to the panga panga fretboard, each tonewood has been expertly selected for great feel and tone. The MR5S bridge ensures maximum string isolation, giving every note its own charisma. Not to mention keeping everything perfectly in tune. But whilst the BTB1936 sounds hardcore, it plays with ease. Shred all night long on a 7pc neck that’s been sculpted for strain-free finger positioning. Whether it’s the pristine fret edge treatment, the adjustable saddles, or the stunning aesthetic, you know that this axe was built for the player who demands the best.
Great tone is nothing without great looks to match. And the BTB1936 is as stunning as they come. Frome the prime grade materials to the eye-catching hardware, you’re sure to be turning plenty of heads. But it’s not all style over substance. The BTB1936 has been sculpted to fit perfectly in the player's arms, giving you plenty of freedom in the upper register of the neck. A smooth contour helps keep your picking arm comfortable, allowing you to change your pick attack with ease. Never worry about your neck warping or bowing. Ibanez ensures maximum stability with graphite reinforcement rods. When you’re out on tour, you’ll always get maximum performance. And trust, you’re going to be playing this bass a lot.
