NAMM 2019: Ibanez debuts 19 new bass guitars

NAMM 2019: The year has only just begun and it’s already been a busy one for Ibanez: besides launching over 40 new electric guitars and a bevy of new signature electrics, there’s also the matter of its bass guitars for 2019.

This year sees Ibanez looking to the past for much of its new line-up: there’s the 20th anniversary of the company’s Gary Willis and BTB models, while the Affirma makes a long-awaited return. There are plenty more SR models besides, too.

Head on through the gallery for a closer look at the new basses, with UK price points, and visit Ibanez for further info.

GWB20TH

PRESS RELEASE: It has been two decades since Ibanez introduced the first Gary Willis Signature bass, the GWB1, in 1999. We are extremely pleased to introduce the Gary Willis signature anniversary model, the GWB20TH, to celebrate our long and fruitful relationship.

GWB20TH has icons of Gary’s signature details such as a fretless fingerboard, finger ramp and special shaped machinehead. On top of those familiar GWB features, this anniversary model is unique unto itself. The Ash top/Basswood body provides sparkling highs and a well-balanced tone.

The beautiful TQF (Tequila Sunrise Flat) finish enhances the gorgeous Ash grain.

The detachable finger ramp, designed by Gary Willis, encourages players to not "dig in too deep" and allows a more consistent attack with a quicker recovery time. The Ebony fretless fingerboard produces a tight low and mid range with a dramatic high end attack, quick response and rich sustain.

The Aguilar® DCB® pickup, installed in bridge position, uses dual ceramic bar magnets that provide a dynamic and responsive attack, perfect for all playing styles. The Aguilar® DCB®  has well-developed overtones and singing sustain in the body and the decay of the notes.

The uniform magnetic field of a bar magnet allows each note to have an accurate dynamic response and more harmonic content. No tonal information is lost as the string moves.

The Aguilar® OBP-2 EQ is a two band EQ that can supply +/-18dB of bass boost and a cut at 40Hz and +/-16dB of treble boost and a cut at 6.5 kHz. Those frequencies are just the right bands to make the GWB20TH sound great in any mix.

ANB205

PRESS RELEASE: Adam Nitti has been establishing his own voice as a bassist and recording artist for over two decades. As a session bassist and sideman, Adam has worked on hundreds of projects across different genres, including performances on several Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated albums.

Ibanez is proud to introduce Adam’s stunning new signature bass, the ANB205. The ANB205 has a lightweight Swamp Ash body which produces sparkling highs and rich harmonics. The back side of the lower horn has an extra scoop, borrowed from the Ibanez SR’s body shape, which enables easier access to higher fret positions without stress.  The Maple neck and fretboard provide crisp, bright highs and strong upper midrange.

Adam selected Bartolini® 59CBJD pickups for his new signature bass. These “Classic Bass” pickups are passive designs that feature an extended and more resonant frequency range. The pickups have far more “air” and definition at the top end without sacrificing lows and low mids.

The pickups are cast in epoxy to remove any unwanted feedback and microphonics. The Bartolini® NTMB+F preamp is specially modified for Adam’s taste and offers fully independent bass, mid and treble controls with very low noise and a wide boost/cut range. The sound is extremely clear and transparent. The 3-way mid frequency selector provides 250Hz, 500Hz, and 800Hz choices for more sonic variety. The passive tone trimmer equipped in the cavity enables players to fine tune the brightness.

This customized preamp designed for ANB205’s bright, full-spectrum voice and enhances the full tonal range.

Adam’s favorite Hipshot® A Style bridge has 18mm string spacing, slightly wider than the standard 16.5mm SR-5 string spacing.  The extra space offers players plenty of freedom for techniques like slap, without compromising player comfort. The ANB205 comes with an optional Ash finger ramp, which allows for a more consistent attack with a quicker recovery time. Gig bag included.

BTB20TH5-BRL

PRESS RELEASE: It was 1999 when Ibanez launched the BTB bass. Now, Ibanez is pleased to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BTB by introducing the fantastic BTB20TH5 anniversary model.

One of the hallmarks of the BTB is the beautiful combination of select-grade materials. The BTB20TH5 has a Maple/Walnut neck with a PangaPanga fretboard, a Flamed Maple top and an Ash and Okume body. The BTB20TH5 has neck-through construction, providing massive sustain and excellent stability.

The beauty of the combined woods is accentuated by the eye-catching BRL (Blue Reef Gradation Low Gloss) finish. The PangaPanga fretboard has an exotic grain and produces a tight low and mid range with a sharp high end attack. The stainless steel frets, well known for bright tone and long durability, are carefully installed on the beautiful fingerboard. The BTB also features a zero fret to provide accurate intonation while allowing open strings to ring with the same resonance as notes played higher up the neck.

We selected Nordstrand™ Big Single pickups, paired with our Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, for the BTB20TH5 anniversary model. The Nordstrand™ "Big Single" is as big and meaty as a single coil soapbar-style pickup can be, and produces a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil pickups. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/3-way mid-frequency switch offers tonal variations that enhance simple chord work as well as complex soloing.

The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for string spacing adjustments, answering every bassist’s individual string spacing demands, no matter what playing style. The saddles can be adjusted +/-1.5mm.
