Key Features
The Ibanez MDM1305 Mode is a modern five-string bass that blends classic design inspiration with contemporary performance features. Built for players who need versatility and comfort, it delivers a fast, confident playing feel alongside a wide tonal range suited to studio sessions and demanding live work. The roasted maple neck and fretboard provide excellent stability and a smooth, broken-in feel, while the ash body adds clarity, punch and sustain across the register.
Equipped with Delta S5J pickups and the Ibanez Sonitech S preamp, the MDM1305 offers everything from tight, focused lows to articulate mids and crisp highs. A flexible mid-frequency system and EQ bypass switch allow quick tonal changes on the fly, making it easy to adapt to different styles. Finished in Natural Stained Amber Burst and supplied with a fitted gig bag, this bass is built for modern players who expect reliability, balance and expressive control.

The Mode series is Ibanez’s contemporary take on a classic bass concept, designed to feel instantly comfortable while offering meaningful modern refinements. The MDM1305 keeps the familiar balance, proportions and ergonomics players expect, but updates them with improved playability, hardware and tonal control. This makes it equally suited to traditional groove-focused roles and more technical modern playing, giving bassists a versatile platform that adapts naturally to different musical situations, genres and performance demands.
The roasted maple neck and fretboard are heat-treated to improve long-term stability, durability and resistance to environmental changes. This process reduces moisture content in the wood, helping the neck remain straight and reliable across varying temperatures and humidity levels. Tonally, roasted maple delivers a clear, well-balanced attack with rich sustain, while the smoothly finished fretboard edges enhance comfort during long sessions, fast position shifts and extended rehearsals.
Delta S5J pickups deliver a punchy, articulate sound with a tight low end, focused mids and clear high-frequency detail, making them suitable for a wide range of amps, effects and recording setups. The Sonitech S preamp adds further control with a responsive three-band EQ, dual mid-range banks and a passive tone option. Combined with the Hexa Mid system and EQ bypass switch, players can quickly shape their sound or return to a more organic, passive-style response when needed.
Lightweight Aero-light machine heads reduce overall headstock weight, improving balance and helping minimise fatigue during longer rehearsals and gigs. The MR5S bridge allows adjustable string spacing for a personalised setup, while luminescent side dots ensure clear visibility on dark stages. A Super All Access Neck Joint improves upper-fret reach for solo work, and the included gig bag keeps the instrument protected during transport and regular use.
