The headless construction of the EHB and its specially designed body allow the player to maintain a similar playing position whether sitting or standing.
The upper half of the body back is angled, allowing the bass to rest slightly closer to the musician’s body for better control and a more ergonomic feel.
The custom Ibanez end pins, both sturdy and lightweight, enable easy string mounting and removal using a hex key placed on the side.
Its contoured and ergonomic design along with the chambered body make it a lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable instrument, excellent for long sets or practice sessions.
The body back features an additional cutaway behind the lower horn to facilitate access to the upper frets.
The 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck offers superior note attack, tight lows, and increased sustain with the Panga Panga fingerboard.
The luminescent side dots allow musicians to easily see the fingerboard position markers when performing on dark stages.
The ash top gives this bass an exotic look, and the okoumé body provides rich mids and lows.
The Bartolini® BH2 pickups deliver tight lows, punchy mids, and a smooth response. The dual-coil configuration maximizes articulation, and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, offering balanced pickup response from string to string.
The 3-band Vari-mid equalizer features a variable mid-frequency control that lets you craft an incredibly wide range of tones. There is also an equalizer bypass switch for passive operation, with the treble control acting as a passive tone control when the equalizer is bypassed.
The MR5HS bridge is specially designed for EHB basses and offers a wide intonation range. Each bridge piece is independently and securely mounted to the body for maximum vibration transfer, and the saddles are adjustable for string spacing by +/-1.5 mm, accommodating individual string spacing preferences of any bassist regardless of playing style. Teflon washers are used on each tuning machine for smooth tuning.
Schaller S-Lock strap locking pins and a Neutrik locking jack securely hold the strap and cable in place.
A removable ramp is included for improved pick comfort.
The Panga Panga fingerboard features a beautiful wood grain that produces tight lows and mids, as well as a bright attack in the highs.
