Kinga Głyk Puts Ibanez’s New Mode 4 String Bass to the Test

During a recent visit to Ibanez in Japan, Kinga Głyk picked up one of the company’s newest releases, a new Mode series 4-string bass, and gave it a proper first run.

The clip is as stripped down as it gets. No backing track. No band. No talking. Just Kinga playing solo bass in one continuous take, feeling out the instrument and letting her touch reveal what it can do. Every note, slide, and dynamic shift is coming straight from the bass and her hands.

It’s a simple but telling way to introduce a new instrument. When a bass can hold attention all on its own, especially in the hands of a player like Kinga, that usually says more than specs ever could.
