The EHB1505SMS is a five string, multi-scale EHB series solid body, short scale, electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2024. It is made in Indonesia as part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop line.

The 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 EHB1505SMS features a headless design with a poplar burl top on a chambered selected lightweight 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.

The EHB1505S is a non-multi-scale version with parallel frets. The EHB1505MS is a related model with a longer 34" scale neck.
