Ibanez’s ICB lineup is clearly aimed at bassists who want modern feel, reliable hardware, and flexible tone right out of the gate. Both of these models share the same comfortable platform, but their wood choices, pickups, and overall vibe give each bass a distinct personality.
At their core, both basses are built around a 34″ Scale 3pc Maple Neck, offering stability, clear attack, and familiar tension. The neck profile stays slim and playable, with a 41mm Nut Width, 305mm Radius, and 22 Medium Frets that make everything from fingerstyle to slap feel natural.
Both models feature a Bound Panga Panga Fretboard with Acrylic Block Inlays, delivering tight lows, focused mids, and a crisp high-end response. Hardware duties are handled by the excellent MR5S Bridge, which allows adjustable string spacing (19mm ± 1.5mm) to dial in your personal feel. Each bass ships with D’Addario EXL165 Strings, Schaller S-Locks, and a Gig Bag, making them stage-ready from day one.
The Iceman ICB720FM stands out visually thanks to its Flamed Maple top paired with an Okoume body. That combination brings brightness, snap, and a touch of visual flair without adding unnecessary weight.
Electronics are where the Iceman ICB720FM really flexes. A pair of Nordstrand Big Break Pickups deliver a powerful, aggressive voice with impressive clarity. These soapbar-style pickups pack split-coil punch with noiseless performance, making them ideal for modern rock, funk, and heavier styles.
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-Band EQ gives you quick access to sculpting lows and highs without overcomplicating things. Finished in Black Hardware, this bass leans firmly toward a bold, contemporary look and sound.
The Iceman ICB620 takes a more understated approach, featuring a clean Okoume Body and Gold Hardware for a refined, classic aesthetic. Tonally, Okoume keeps things bright and solid, but the real character comes from the pickups.
Loaded with Bartolini BH2 Pickups, the Iceman ICB620 delivers a tight low end, punchy mids, and a smoother overall response. The dual-coil design and blade pole pieces ensure even string-to-string balance, making it a great choice for players who value articulation and consistency across styles. Paired with the same Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-Band EQ, it is easy to dial in anything from warm pocket tones to clear, modern punch.
