To the newcomer, the multi-scale concept may appear a bit unusual, but the biggest surprise may be how comfortable players become within a minute or two of playing the instrument. The different fret-to-bridge distances enhance tonality, creating a better sounding bass.

For more than 40 years, Ibanez has pioneered new frontiers in bass development through their Bass Workshop initiative, pushing conventional design boundaries to create innovative instruments. Each unique Bass Workshop creation stems from the Ibanez team's desire to meet specific player needs and explore new sonic possibilities.
