Ibanez BTB747 - Natural Flat Low Gloss

Affordable Boutique 7-string Performance
The Ibanez BTB747 7-string bass fits in perfectly with the rest of the acclaimed BTB series while adding even more sonic options. From its premium multilayer tonewoods and comfortably contoured body to its top-shelf Bartolini pickups and hardware, there isn't a thing about the BTB747 that a seasoned bass player can't instantly appreciate. The 9-piece neck is flanked by mahogany and ash wings topped with walnut. This unique tonewood combination serves as a recipe for complex harmonics and epic sustain. And a bevy of boutique touches provides the Ibanez BTB747 with all the hallmarks of an instrument you'll never want to let go of.











Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver full and balanced tone
Bartolini BH2 pickups maintain a superb balance between the BTB747's clarity and depth. They provide complexity and warmth in the mids and low-end depth that won't wash out. Long-blade pole pieces allow these dual-coil pickups to offer hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency. When you want to sculpt your BTB747's tone, just reach for the 3-band EQ. This active equalizer delivers wide frequency-range adjustments on each band. There's also a 3-way midrange switch that lets you define your instrument's presence. Whether you want round R&B throb or responsive thumb-technique punch, the BTB747 delivers.




Neck-through design ensures exceptional sustain
Generations of innovators and top-tier manufacturers have relied on neck-through designs for superior sustain. Pick up an Ibanez BTB747, and you'll experience everything neck-through construction has to offer. You can feel the BTB747 vibrate clear through its ultra-stable 9-piece maple, walnut, and rosewood neck, right down to the strap peg. The extended sustain doesn't just add body to your tone; it also provides a greater tonal balance that you'll hear in every note you play.




7-string performance
As players progress and genres such as metal, jazz, and gospel are pushed past their technical limits, the need for a 7-string bass has never been more prominent. Ibanez is leading the charge with the luthier-grade BTB747 electric bass. By adding yet another string, players are able to explore additional choral voicings, new levels of heavy riffing, and solo tones that have rarely been heard from a bass before. Grab a BTB747 from Sweetwater and see where the extra string will take your music.
