Ibanez Bass Workshop UB805-MOB Upswing Mahogany Oil Burst
Electric Upright Bass with authentic feel and official double bass sound
The Ibanez
Neck-through construction with authentic double bass feeling
To get as close as possible to the playing feel of a full-grown double bass, Ibanez relies on an elaborate neck-through construction for the Bass Workshop UB805 Electric Upright Bass . The heart of the Bass is undoubtedly the full-length maple and walnut neckand the long 34" scale length (864 mm), which guarantee a clean string response for both arco and pizzicato playing. The strong and rounded "UB5" neck profile and the tight compound radius of the jatoba fingerboard also convey the authentic playing characteristics of a classic double bass. The small dot inlays also turn out to be a practical detail, with the help of which a clean intonation succeeds.
While the side Volume and Tone controls allow you to adjust the general sound, the piezo pickups of the active AeroSilk system are located in the mono-rail bridges.
AeroSilk pickup system
At the bass amplifier the Ibanez Bass Workshop UB805 Upswing Bass convinces with an official double bass tone, which integrates the low B-string with precise articulation and reproduces bowed arco techniques as well as plucked pizzicato playing with natural dynamics and enormous detail fidelity. Responsible for this is the innovative AeroSilk pickup system with piezo elements in the mono-rail bridges and active preamp. In addition to five gain controls for perfectly tuning the tonal balance of each string, the system offers general volume and tone pots for quickly adjusting the sound on stage.
The openwork headstock of the Ibanez UB805 bass carries die-cast tuning machines for great tuning stability.
Professional hardware equipment
Of course, Ibanez completes the Bass Workshop UB805-MOB Upswing Bass Mahogany Oil Burst with professional hardware components that will handle even punishing tours and recording sessions with unlimited reliability. While the special design of the Custom AeroSilk Mono-Rail bridges promises a secure hold for the factory-wound bass strings, their extensive adjustment options guarantee precise setting of intonation and string action. On the openwork headstock, meanwhile, encapsulated Ibanez Die-Cast tuners keep the electric upright Bass securely in tune. The high-quality Tama Roadpro Custom stand included with the UB805 not only promises a secure stand for the upright bass, but also allows precise adjustment of a comfortable playing position.
