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

If you're seeking a bass guitar that marries innovative design with exceptional playability, the EHB1005MS 5-String Headless Multi Scale Electric Bass Guitar is your perfect match. This instrument boasts a sea foam green matte finish that's as eye-catching as it is unique, and a roasted birdseye maple fretboard that's not only visually stunning but also enhances the guitar's tonal qualities.
The ergonomic body design of the EHB1005MS ensures that whether you're playing seated or standing, the instrument maintains a consistent and comfortable position. The slanted body back is thoughtfully crafted to bring the bass closer to your body, providing improved control and an ergonomic feel that's noticeable from the first chord.
Crafted with a comfortably rounded body edge and a chambered body, this bass is a lightweight powerhouse, offering a well-balanced and comfortable experience that's ideal for extended gigs or practice sessions. The scooped cut on the body back is a testament to the attention to detail, allowing for effortless access to the upper frets.
The neck of the EHB1005MS is a 5-piece roasted maple/walnut construction, reinforced with graphite rods to ensure stability, durability, and resistance to the rigors of temperature changes and moisture. This heat-treated neck is designed to stand the test of time and the rigors of the road.
Visibility on dark stages is a breeze with the luminescent side dot inlay, ensuring you never miss a note. The Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with an EQ bypass switch offers unparalleled sound customization, allowing you to sculpt your tone with precision. When bypassed, the treble control becomes a passive tone control, offering even more tonal versatility.
The MR5HS mono rail bridge is a marvel of engineering, providing a wide intonation range and individual saddles with adjustable string spacing to cater to your personal playing style. Teflon washers on each tuner guarantee a smooth tuning action, ensuring that your bass stays in tune throughout your performance.
For added security, the EHB1005MS is equipped with Schaller S-Locks strap pins and a Neutrik locking jack, keeping your strap and cable firmly in place. The detachable finger ramp is a thoughtful addition, offering a comfortable platform for finger picking.
In summary, the EHB1005MS 5-String Headless Multi Scale Electric Bass Guitar is a testament to modern bass design, offering a seamless blend of ergonomic features, customizability, and robust construction that will satisfy the demands of bassists across all genres.
