Ibanez BTB uncomfortable to play?

[BassoContinuo]

I would take everything that man says with a grain of salt. He’s definitely no expert bassist.

So far as I know there are 137 different BTB models that have been produced the very vast majority have come and gone over the years however despite this there aren't that many up for sale in the secondhand market (unless you opt to import one) and only a handful available brand new.

I'm after a secondhand 5 string Post 2010 era ideally with 19mm string spacing

Being London-based I tried this exact bass. Extremely comfortable to play with no sharp edges anywhere digging into the body.

You know that "he" is now a "she?"

I'll rephrase:

 

He now "identifies" with being a she ☺️

That's very nice. And, more importantly for the OP, the company appears to cover the return shipping costs for refunds.
