The Ibanez IV2MDM in Natural is a masterfully crafted five string bass that showcases the precision, innovation, and uncompromising quality for which the Ibanez Japan Custom Shop is renowned. Designed for discerning bassists who demand exceptional playability, tonal versatility, and boutique level craftsmanship, this instrument blends premium tonewoods with advanced electronics and professional grade hardware to create a bass equally at home on stage, in the studio, or wherever inspiration strikes. Finished in a beautiful Natural gloss that highlights the striking Black Limba top, the IV2MDM delivers an elegant appearance that reflects its refined character and meticulous construction.
Its MDM5S TECH WOOD roasted maple neck provides outstanding stability and a remarkably comfortable playing experience, while the roasted treatment enhances resonance and resistance to environmental changes. Paired with a luxurious cocobolo fingerboard featuring understated maple dot inlays, the neck offers exceptional warmth, articulation, and smooth response across all 24 medium stainless steel frets. Ibanez's renowned Custom Shop Fret Edge Treatment ensures every fret is expertly finished for effortless movement and unmatched playing comfort.
The combination of a Black Limba top over an alder body creates a balanced tonal foundation with focused lows, rich midrange presence, and articulate highs. This carefully selected tonewood pairing produces excellent sustain and dynamic response, allowing every note to speak with clarity whether laying down supportive grooves or delivering expressive solo passages.
Equipped with a matched set of passive Delta S5J pickups, the IV2MDM captures every nuance of your playing with remarkable definition and natural character. The versatile Ibanez Sonitech preamp features an active three band EQ with a convenient push pull EQ bypass switch for instant passive operation, along with a three position mid frequency selector incorporating the innovative Hexa Mid System. Together, these controls provide an extensive tonal palette that ranges from warm vintage textures to modern, articulate punch, making the bass adaptable to virtually any musical style.
Performance hardware is equally impressive. The MR5S bridge with solid brass saddle pieces maximizes sustain, enhances intonation, and provides outstanding note separation, while the 18 millimeter string spacing offers a comfortable feel for both fingerstyle and slap techniques. A precision bone nut further contributes to tuning stability and resonance, while sleek black hardware completes the instrument's sophisticated aesthetic.
Factory strung with D'Addario EXL165 strings plus a .130 low B and tuned B, E, A, D, and G, the IV2MDM is ready to deliver commanding low end authority with exceptional clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. Weighing 8 pounds 8 ounces, it offers a comfortable balance that makes it well suited for extended rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances.
The Ibanez IV2MDM includes a premium hardshell case for secure transport and protection. Combining the celebrated craftsmanship of the Ibanez Japan Custom Shop with premium materials, sophisticated electronics, and impeccable attention to detail, this extraordinary five string bass is built to inspire players who demand the very best from their instrument.
