Electric Bass Guitar
The Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1265MS is armed with an ergonomic design and hugely versatile tone, making it a coveted instrument for any bassist. This EHB comes with an ash body and an eye-catching walnut top that work together to provide a well-balanced and resonant tonal foundation. Two Bartolini BH2 humbucking pickups deliver a classic soapbar sound without any of the hum that plagues vintage pickups. Beyond that, the EHB1265MS comes with a 3-band Vari-mid active EQ for flexible tone-shaping. Your fingers will delight at the smooth playability provided by the 9-piece panga panga/walnut neck, panga fingerboard, and expertly dressed stainless steel frets.
The EHB’s headless construction and specially designed body enable the player to maintain a similar playing position whether seated or standing.
The top half of the back of the body is slanted which allows the bass to rest slightly closer to the player’s body for better control and a more ergonomic feel.
There is extra carving on the back of the body behind the lower horn for easier upper fret access.
The 9-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck provides superior note attack, tight lows and increased sustain with the Panga Panga fretboard.
The Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.

With the bass held in the playing position, there are two stacked knobs towards the end of the body, near the input jack. The top control of the stacked knobs closest to the lowest edge of the body is the treble boost/cut, and the bottom knob is the bass boost/cut. The top control of the stack next to the mini switch is the mid boost/cut, and the lower knob is the mid frequency sweep. There are two small knobs along the lower edge of the body. The knob closest to the neck is the volume knob, and the knob between the volume control and the stacked knobs is the pickup balancer. Positioned above these knobs is the EQ bypass. When the switch is in neck position, the EQ is off. When the switch is in bridge position, the EQ is on. When EQ is off, the treble boost/cut knob functions as a passive tone control.
The bass boost/cut frequency curve has a peak at about 20 Hz, the variable width becomes smaller as it goes to the high range, and the variable width becomes zero at around 1000 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±20 dB. The treble boost/cut frequency curve draws a curve with a peak at around 20000 Hz and a variable width of zero near 100 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±20 dB. The mid-boost/cut frequency curve creates a bell-shaped curve that peaks at a specific frequency, and the variable range becomes zero near 20 Hz and around 10,000 Hz. The frequency peak varies from around 100 Hz to around 6000 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±15 dB.
