Ibanez Introduces Two New Singlecut BTB Models
Ibanez has two new singlecut BTBs this year with the BTB865SC and BTB866SC. The neck-through basses are five and six-string models, respectively, and have a new wood combination.
They’re each built with okoume body wings capped with ash in a Weathered Black low gloss finish. As part of the BTB series, they also feature 35-inch scales, a mono-rail bridge, and a custom 3-band EQ. Ibanez includes a detachable finger ramp with the basses.
