Review Summary

This bass has exceeded all my expectations (which are fairly high)! A big thank you to Adorama for the way the bass was setup prior to delivery. The action and string spacing setup was superb out of the box and is very comfortable and enjoyable to play. I am aware that shipping logistics has been sketchy during COVID-19, but Adorama promptly shipped this bass to my home in Massachusetts without delay. I have played standard fret basses, but the fanned fretting on the EHB1005MS took minimal time to get accustomed to and the the bird's eye 5-piece maple neck is very comfortable to play (I have RA so anything that eases the wrist & finger issues I deal with are a big plus). I only had two "gripes" about the Ibanez EHB1005MS and they have having nothing to do with Adoroma, but more with Ibanez. First, for a bass costing over $1200, I wish Ibanez provided a higher quality gig bag than the one that came with the bass. Secondly, the EQ & volume knobs are kind of a "cheapy" plastic

Make your music come alive with the EHB1005MS 5-String Headless Multi Scale Electric Bass Guitar. This stylish and high-quality instrument from Ibanez is designed with the professional musician in mind. Its innovative headless construction and specially designed body allow for a consistent playing position, whether you're seated or standing.
The top half of the back of the body features a unique slant, bringing the bass closer to the player for enhanced control and an ergonomic feel. The comfortably rounded body edge and chambered body contribute to a lightweight, well-balanced instrument that's perfect for long sets or practice sessions.
For easier upper fret access, the body back includes an extra scoop behind the lower horn. The neck of the bass guitar is constructed from a 5-piece Roasted Maple/Walnut blend, reinforced with Graphite rods. This heat-treated Roasted Maple increases the neck's stability, durability, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes.
In dark environments, the luminescent side dot inlay ensures clear visibility. The Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with an EQ bypass switch offers a variable mid-frequency control, allowing you to dial in a wide range of sounds. When the EQ is bypassed, the treble control acts as a passive tone control.
The EHB1005MS features an MR5HS mono rail bridge with string spacing adjustable saddles, designed specifically for EHB basses. Each bridge piece is independently and securely attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer. The saddles are adjustable for string spacing +/-1.5mm, accommodating every bassist's individual string spacing demands, regardless of playing style.
Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action. The bass also includes Schaller S-Lock strap lock pins and a Neutrik locking jack to hold the strap and cable securely. A detachable finger ramp is included for comfortable finger picking.
With its roasted birdseye maple fretboard and sleek black flat finish, the EHB1005MS 5-String Headless Multi Scale Electric Bass Guitar is not only a durable and professional-grade instrument, but also a stylish addition to any musician's collection.
