Few can hold a candle to the ingenuity of the low-end theorists at the Ibanez Bass Workshop, and the EHB600 puts this design and engineering prowess on full display.
This headless powerhouse packs a kaleidoscopic array of tone-crafting tenacity into a 4-string low-frequency machine built to brawl. Choice Jatoba, Okoume, and Maple tonewoods form the ferocious foundations of this bass, while Ibanez Custom Electronics’ 3-band EQ circuit supplements the sonic sculpting that the instrument’s humbuckers afford.
With its Okoume body, the EHB600 drops its aural anchor in a bright, focused foundation teeming with Maple-like clarity, fittingly echoed in the neck’s 5-piece Maple and Jatoba construction. As these properties carry through the instrument, the Maple side elicits brilliant spectrum-spanning warmth, complemented by the tonewood’s inherent note-separating capabilities that guarantee precise, punchy voicing.
Ibanez’s luthiers and engineers ensured the Ibanez Custom Electronics were tailored to capture and unleash the distinctive power of the EHB600’s tonewood arsenal. A prismatic pair of α1 (Alpha 1) humbuckers are supported by a constellation of controls, including a 3-band EQ, Balancer, and Master Volume. A Bypass mini-switch expands tonal options even further, giving you everything from raw growl to pocket-perfect refinement.
Opting for a 5-piece Maple/Jatoba neck dramatically enhances dimensional stability, resisting twisting and warping, making the EHB600 a road-ready warrior. Its striking headless design is more than a statement – it’s meticulously balanced and contoured for comfort, control, and precision. An MR5HS bridge and custom-built Ibanez headpieces lock down the 34″ scale with unshakable authority, while the 500mm fretboard radius gives you the perfect runway for high-speed runs, slaps, and heavy grooves.
