Without a doubt, your instrument should reflect the dedication you place in your musicianship and creative endeavors.

But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That's where Ibanez comes in. Their ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.
