Ibanez MDB5-OXB Mike D'Antonio Signature Bass

Ibanez has revamped Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D’Antonio’s signature bass for 2022 with the MDB5-OXB. The fifth version of his four-string now comes in an Ox Blood finish. Another update over the previous model is the use of okoume for the body material.

The Ibanez MDB5 is loaded with a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups with balance and volume knobs. A trim pot on the rear cavity cover of the bass adjusts tone. Other features include a special MDB inlay at the 12th fret, Cosmo black hardware, and luminescent side dot inlays.
