Full Description

Unique Body Shape

The BTB846SC is crafted using a selection of poplar burl, ash and mahogany, delivering a warm tone with plenty of clarity. The unique body shape features an extended upper horn, which offers excellent stability and sustain. The back of the bass is also sculpted with a smooth, elegant neck heel. As well as providing stunning aesthetics, this contour provides easier access to the higher frets, allowing the player's palm to move up the neck with minimum effort.

Fingerboard & Frets

A rosewood fingerboard delivers a warm, soft tone and a natural feel. Mounted with 24 stainless steel frets, the Terra Firma delivers a bright tone with enhanced longevity. A zero fret is also included and provides accurate intonation, along with consistent resonance across the whole the fingerboard.

Bartolini BH2 Pickups

For a powerful bass tone, BTB846SC Terra Firma is equipped with a duo of Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups that deliver a warm, balanced response with a tight bottom end and a full midrange. Achieving the perfect tone is easy with the 3-band EQ and three-way mid frequency switch with 250 Hz, 450 Hz and 700 Hz output options.

Mono-Rail V Bridge

The Ibanez BTB846SC Terra Firma also features the Mono-Rail V bridge, which offers ultimate string isolation by independently locking down each saddle to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference. The height of each saddle can be easily adjusted with a single screw.
