Headless E-bass with multiscale-scale length, Bartolini pickups and active electronics, including gigbag
The Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1005SMS-MGM Metallic Gray Matte is an ergonomic headless bass with a multiscale scale that promises the ultimate in playability and multi-faceted low end.
Agile handling and multiscale
In addition to the weight-reduced lime body with generous comfort shapings, the five-stringer has a five-piece bolt-on neck made of roasted maple and jatoba, whose slim EHB5 profile guarantees extremely agile playing characteristics. In addition, the multiscale construction with individual scale length for each string ensures a tight and harmonious output of every note played.
Bartolini pickups and high-quality hardware
With two Bartolini BH-2 humbuckers and the active Vari-Mid 3-band tone control, the handy 5-string also delivers versatile tones with a massive low-end foundation and smooth high-frequency spectrum. An indestructible hardware setup with Ibanez MR5HS mono rails, an Ibanez custom headpiece and Schaller S-Locks strap holders completes the Bass Workshop EHB1005SMS-MGM Metallic Gray matte by Ibanez.
The Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1005SMS-EMM Emerald Green Metallic Matte is an agile headless bass with a short-scale scale, Bartolini pickups and active EQ.

This bass has many great features and I was suprised by the light weight, the ergodynamics of the bass, the neck wich is amazing and feels great and the sound which is big and very versatile. The only thing I would chande are the sidemarks. In some dark environments you can't see them. They should have been white.
