The BTB705LM is a five string multi-scaleBTB series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2024. It is produced in Indonesia as part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop line.
The BTB705LM features neck through body construction with a flamed maple top on ash and okume wings attached to a maple and walnut neck with graphite reinforcement rods and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot inlays. The body has a double cutaway design with very distinctive, narrow, curving horns. Components include a pair of T1 passive humbucking pickups channeled through an Ibanez custom preamp with a three-band EQ, stainless steel frets including a zero fret, individually mounted Mono-rail Vs bridges with adjustable 19mm string spacing, a locking Neutrik stereo output jack, a plastic nut, and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.
The BTB705LM is considered a "light" multi-scale model since the difference between the scale length on the treble and bass sides of the fretboard is just one inch.
The BTB605MLM is a related model with a similar light multiscale neck, but with a flamed maple fretboard and without the flamed maple top. The BTB805MS is a related model with a panga panga fretboard, the same electronics, and a two inch difference in scale length between the treble and bass sides.
