Ibanez EHB1506MS Bass Workshop, Black Ice Flat Overview
A fearsome creation. The Ibanez EHB1506MS Bass Workshop is ready to do battle, with an array of premium components and features which will make your jaw drop. The headless design not only looks cool, but also enhances tuning stability, balance, and manoeuvrability. And a pair of Nordstrand Custom Big Split pickups give this bass its turbocharged, laser-cannon like voicing. They provide depth, clarity, and all-out juiciness for a tone which will have you running around the stage like a maniac. Your basslines are sure to sound better than ever.
Then there's the playability. With a sleek, refined EHB6 panga panga and walnut neck, this instrument will feel beautifully natural and easy to play. But the secret weapon is a multi-scale fretboard, which offers world class ergonmic playability. A bound panga panga fretboard offers great sustain and superb smoothness for seamless fret transitions. Also boasting a dedicated three-band EQ section for tone shaping, a MR5HS bridge for precise tuning stability, and a gig bag for easy transportation, the EHB1506MS truly has it all.

View Full DescriptionThe majestic multi-scale
It's the ultimate gamechanger. The multi-scale fretboard is a step above the rest – it redefines playability. With slanted, or 'fanned', frets, it naturally fits to the slant of your wrist to ensure maximum comfort when playing. It also adds extra definition to the tone of the low strings, whilst making the treble strings brighter and clearer. The result is unbelievable playability combined with a superbly tight sound. With this technology, you can master your bass playing like never before.
Supreme Nordstrands
Play your way to victory. With a pair of Nordstrand Custom Big Split pickups at your back, your basslines will explode with richness, fullness, and character. They have a P/J voicing, meaning their tonal range is huge – capable of handling any genre. The bridge pickup is raw and powerful, beefing up every note and punching through the mix like a wrecking ball. The neck is warmer and smoother – perfect for blending in with other instruments and bringing out fatness in your riffs. As if that weren't enough, there's also a three-band EQ control section, where you can tinker until you've found your perfect tone. It really doesn't get better than this.
Play for days
It's all about the feel. And the EHB15006MS has it in droves. A smooth panga panga and walnut neck offers the perfect playing experience, being smooth and easily to navigate. Your playing will be liberated. And the bound panga panga fretboard has a superb response to your fretting, offering unparalleled smoothness and a luxurious feel. Armed with these, you'll be truly unstoppable. These woods also add some punch to the bass's tone, helping your notes cut through the mix even more.
The headless beast
Don't worry, you haven't lost your head. This is a headless bass, which comes with a unique set of advantages. First, it reduces the overall weight, giving your shoulders some well earned respite. And it helps with balance, reducing the 'nose-dive' of the guitar for unrivalled stability onstage. It also improves tuning stability, keeping your strings singing all day long. Not to mention the fact that it looks super cool, too.
Stage-ready
Are you ready? The EHB1506MS certainly is, with an array of hardware to keep everything running smoothly. An MR5H bridge offers incredible tuning stability, whilst maximising the resonance and sustain of this bass for a seamless performance. Ibanez string locks serve as the perfect supports, keeping each string in place for complete reliability. Luminescent side dots also help you to see the fretboard in the dark, so you can keep your playing ultra-tight at all times. And there's a gigbag included for safe transportation. This is the bass of the future.
