The EHB1005MSL is a left-handed, five string, multi-scale EHB series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in mid-2021. It is produced in Indonesia as part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop line.

The new EHB design features a chambered body double cutaway body shape with a prominent upper horn and a deep lower scoop. The chambered body has an ergonomic design with a slanted back to enable the player to maintain a similar playing position whether seated or standing.

The EHB1005MSL features a multi-scale headless design with a chambered American basswood body bolted to a graphite reinforced roasted maple and walnut neck with a roasted birdseye maple fingerboard with 24 stainless steel fanned frets, offset abalone dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include individual Monorail V HS bridges with adjustable string spacing, a pair of Bartolini BH2 passive pickups, a detachable finger ramp, a Vari-mid 3-band EQ with EQ bypass switch, a locking Neutrik output jack and Schaller S-Lock strap pins.

The EHB1005MS is a right-handed version.
