Ibanez keeps killing it
GM2112 08.11.2022
Have been hoping to get into the multiscale game for some time, and the style and price of the EHB series really appealed to me.
Pros:
- Looks even better in person than it does in pictures
- Great weight balance
- Multiscale feels suprisingly natural to a new player
- Bridge is a easier to adjust and tune than my old Steinbergers
- EQ is pretty nice for a bass at this level

Cons... can't really think of any? The detachable finger ramp is a little plasticky and I'm jealous that the BTB series gets a hardcase rather than a gigbag, but not much worth fretting (hah) over.

I do know that Ibanez has had some delivery QC issues, notably I had a few things that needed gone over when I purchased an AFR series from another retailer. However I'm happy to also report that Thomann is on the ball here, my EHB was just about as close to perfect as you can get out of the box.

Lastly, huge shoutout to Thomann for great communication and excellent shipping coordination throughout the purchase process. Being an American customer I was a little worried about importing this instrument versus buying domestic, but Thomann made it a breeze. They'll definitely be at the top of my list for my future music needs.

Great Bass, sounds way better than it looks :-)

Love this Bass for flying with and trips away..so portable and light. Build quality a little iffy in places but mainly cosmetic stuff. Sent an email to Ibanez about that but got no reply...dissapointing.

Leider sehr enttäuscht
Maik2910 20.10.2023
Leider muss ich sagen, dass ich von diesem Bass sehr enttäuscht bin. Ibanez wirbt mit ihrem "Bass Workshop" und liefert dann ein Instrument mit miserabel funktionierenden Potis (der Doppelpoti für Bass und Treble darf sich nicht permanent verstellen, ein Poti war einfach komplett wackelig) sowie einem scharf herausstehenden Bundstäbchen.

Auf dem Papier hat der Bass alles was ich brauche. Er spielt sich gut, hat vermeintlich gute Features etc.
Am Amp allerdings hatte ich die ganze Zeit das Gefühl, das eine Decke auf meinem Speaker liegt, selbst mit massiven Boost der entsprechenen Frequenz. Andere Pickups sind nicht gerade günstig und ich war nicht bereit, diesen Bass aufzuwerten.

Der Korpus fühlte sich merkwürdig an, irgendwie leicht trocken.

So muss ich sagen, wenn man die Probleme mit den Potis, den messerscharfen Bund und den mickrigen Sound betrachtet, ist er in Relation zu dem, was Ibanez für dieses Instrument fordert, schlecht.

Bei einem Bass bis 600€ wären diese Probleme irgendwie zu verzeihen oder zu beheben, für ~1400 sehe ich das leider nicht ein.

Der Bass geht zurück.

Prima für Einsteiger und Neugierige
Lauterfeld 29.11.2022
Nach kurzer Lieferzeit kam der Fünf-Saiter, wie nicht anders von Thomann gewohnt, sorgfältig verpackt und ausgezeichnet vorgerichtet an.
Der Bass ist wunderbar verarbeitet, sämtliche Regler leichtgängig und gleichmäßig gesetzt. Rundherum ein sehr wertiger Eindruck.
Man nimmt das Instrument gerne in die Hand, es spielt sich wunderbar "selbstverständlich" und hat einen herrlich knorrenden Sound.
Was mich angeht, eine gute Wahl, würde ich sofort wieder kaufen!
