Ibanez BTB606 6 String Electric Bass Transparent Gray

Ibanez BTB606 BTB Standard 6-String Bass – Transparent Gray Flat

Part of the boutique-inspired BTB Standard series, the Ibanez BTB606 is a beautifully engineered 6-string bass built to deliver elite playability, massive sustain, and incredible low-end structural stability. Combining an extra-long scale length with premium neck-through architecture, this instrument is optimized for modern players who demand absolute note definition across an expanded tonal range.

Key Features & Technical Specifications:

• 35-Inch Extra Long Scale Length: Conventional basses can suffer from a muddy or loose low B string. The extended 35" (889mm) scale length maintains tight, optimized string tension across all six strings, ensuring clear, punchy attack and flawless note articulation from the lowest B up to the highest C.
• 5-Piece Maple/Jatoba Neck-Through Construction: The neck-through design integrates the neck directly into the center of the body, providing massive sustain and completely smooth, uninhibited access to the upper register of the fretboard. The 5-piece maple and jatoba blend offers exceptional structural strength and enriched resonance.
• Okoume Wing Body: The contoured okoume wing bodies attach seamlessly to the center neck block, delivering a solid, well-rounded tonal foundation with a bright and punchy sonic profile.
• Rosewood Fretboard & Stainless Steel Frets: Outfitted with a classic rosewood fingerboard, this bass produces a well-balanced tone with a highly focused midrange. It features 24 medium stainless steel frets—plus a zero fret—which are incredibly durable, long-lasting, and ensure precise intonation.
• Passive α1 (Alpha 1) Pickups: Developed for ultimate tonal openness and clarity, the dual passive α1 pickups serve up abundant lows and rich, detailed mids—making them perfectly voiced for executing modern technical bass lines.
• Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ: A straightforward, high-fidelity preamp offers ±15 dB of boost or cut over the Bass, Middle, and Treble frequencies to let you sculpt your ideal signature sound with ease.
• 3-Way Mid-Frequency Switch: Dial in precisely where your midrange cuts through the mix. A dedicated toggle switch lets you adjust the mid-control peak frequency between 250Hz (for clean warmth), 450Hz (for standard punch), and 700Hz (for an aggressive, modern growl).
• MR5 Bridge & Cosmo Black Hardware: The MR5 Mono-Rail bridge system is the ultimate choice for total string isolation. Each individual saddle is independently and securely locked down to the body to ensure maximum string-vibration transfer without any cross-string acoustic bleed. The sleek Cosmo Black hardware adds a sophisticated, dark touch to the Transparent Gray Flat finish.
