dudewheresmybass89 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) For sale is my Ibanez BTB 406QM Fretless bass. Unfortunately due to lack of funds/job, i'm having to sell this bad boy! It was originally a fretted bass, which i bought on this very forum, however i had the neck de-fretted and it plays wonderfully! Ibanez Say: [font=Arial, Verdana,]The concepts behind boutique basses are often justification for making them extremely expensive. With the advent of the BTB, Ibanez decided that these same concepts of well-selected body materials, 35" neck scale, and deep cutaways could be applied to an instrument that anyone could afford. The BTB Series comes with a fuller body and neck, with more passive pickups for better quality tone and sustain. Also, BTB basses feature Neutrik locking jacks and Monorail II bridges so the strings are independent, and do not interfere with each other as they vibrate. If it's subtlety you're going for, the studio-quiet Vari-Mid 3B EQ allows you to modify and color your tones as much or as little as you want. And don't forget about the 18 volt circuitry that provides much greater headroom than found on standard active EQs.[/font] [url="http://www.electromusic.co.uk/Ibanez-BTB-406-6-string.html"]http://www.electromu...6-6-string.html[/url] the bass has no real dings and is in very good condition, retails for £475 with frets, mods cost £100, i'd be looking for about £280. Any takers? Edited December 19, 2012 by dudewheresmybass89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttitudeCastle Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Is it bolt-on or Neck through? Edited February 28, 2012 by AttitudeCastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass89 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 this is a bolt-on neck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Do you have any pictures of the neck bolt? And how would you describe and compare this to your 676? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass89 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 well, i think that the bass plays very well!! i prefer a low action, so this is really a fast bass. the electronics are all sound and balanced very well (like most btbs) and it's massive live, due to the active nature of the btb. You can't really go wrong if you want clarity either, as you can dial the bass/mid/treble to whichever sound you'd prefer. The fretless neck teamed with the flatwounds also produce a darker tone as expected, so if you already have your own 676, then a fretless 406 is quite nice to combine with your 676, because then you'd have most of your bases (no pun intended) covered when it comes to appropriate style and tone. also it's just really good fun to mess around with! i'll add the pictures for you tomorrow!
