The DWB35 is a five string solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2004. It is a signature model for American bassist Doug Wimbish who is known primarily for his work with the rock band Living Colour and his work with the seminal hip-hop outfit The Sugarhill Gang. It was produced in South Korea by Cort.

The DWB35 features neck through body construction with a maple and bubinga neck mated to ash wings in a shape based on the Soundgear series. It has a 24-fret quartersawn bubinga fingerboard with pearl and abalone oval position markers. Components include a pair of EMG active J-style pickups, a custom 2-band preamp, an EB10 bridge with 17mm string spacing, a brass nut and Hipshot open gear tuning machines.

The DWB3 is a four string version.

The DWB35 was discontinued after 2006.
