Whether you're riffing up high or laying down low, the big split boasts fat, clean tone that won't go unnoticed. Its hybrid timbre is easily adjustable too, utilising and EQ bypass switch for passive control on the treble pot. Dial your sound further with the vari-mid 3 band EQ for that added touch of nuance. Articulation, always.

The Future of Neck Design
Ibanez aren't content with just doing what's already been done. They strive for creative revolution, pushing the boundaries of traditional bass playing. The EHB1505MS is no exception. Take your bass on stage or to the studio, and never worry about knocking your tuning. Ibanez have found the key to flawless tuning stability, and it all starts at the top of the neck. The headless design ensures rigid intonation, pitch perfect tuning, and enhanced playability that will elevate your abilities.
Classic design perfected. The EHB1505MS promises maximum vibration transfer, wide intonation range, and smooth tuning action from the MR5HS bridge.

The adjustable saddle and +/-1.5mm spacing is the answer you've been waiting for. Full flexibility, no matter how you play.
You need improved intonation. It doesn't matter how fierce your playing is if your bass isn't singing in tune. Don't worry. With the EHB1505MS you're fully covered. Every note comes alive on a multiscale neck. Designed for flawless intonation, these characteristically diagonal frets get the best from your bass. Alongside pitch perfect string resonation, fanned frets are comfortable to play, promoting quick, smooth playing action.
