The EHB1500 is an EHB series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2020. 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 EHB1500 features a headless design with a poplar burl top on a chambered selected light-weight African mahogany body bolted to a graphite reinforced roasted panga panga and walnut neck with a panga panga fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets, offset abalone dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include individual Monorail V HS bridges with adjustable string spacing, a pair of Nordstrand Custom Big Split 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.

A new Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat finish was introduced for 2024.

The EHB1505 is a five string version.

For 2026, the EHB1500 was discontinued in all markets except Japan, USA, and Canada.
