With its performance-focused design and outstanding electronics package, the Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1006MS will wow you from the second you start to play. It’s armed with a supremely balanced basswood body with comfortable contours. The headless 5-piece maple/walnut neck comes with a multi-scale fretboard to ensure optimum string tension and precise intonation from string to string. Plug in, and the two T1 humbucking pickups supply a velvety tone with a tight punch that you can sculpt with the onboard vari-mid 3-band EQ. You also get Schaller S-Locks strap lock pins so can perform with total confidence. The Ibanez Bass Workshop EHB1006MS is a finely tuned music machine, and it’s waiting for your right here at Sweetwater.





Customize your sound with versatile electronics





Tonal versatility is a must-have for today’s bass player. That’s why Ibanez equipped the EHB1006MS with T1 humbucking pickups and an onboard 3-band EQ. T1 pickups utilize an independent dual-coil design for a highly-versatile tone that can fit into any playing situation imaginable. Need a single-coil sound for a one-off gig? Easy! Just lower one of the coils, and you’re ready to go! Once you’re off-stage, raise the coil back up to get the smooth, punchy humbucker sound. You can sculpt your tone with the 3-band EQ. This active equalizer delivers broad frequency-range adjustments on each band. There’s also a 3-way midrange switch that lets you define your instrument’s presence. The Ibanez EHB1006MS’s versatile electronics can produce any sound you need.

Reinforced 5-piece neck





Six bass strings apply much more force to a neck than you may realize. To combat that tension, Ibanez equipped the EHB1006MS with a reinforced 5-piece maple/walnut neck. The multi-ply design blends the sound of each tonewood. At the same time, the extra glue between the joints provides additional support for the neck. To further resist the tension of the strings, Ibanez added graphite reinforcement rods. What results is a naturally strong neck that resists shifts brought on by temperature, humidity, and the passage of time.





A luxurious playing experience





Playing the Ibanez EHB1006MS will be the highlight of your day. It’s loaded with features to improve your playing experience, such as the headless neck. Since it’s not carrying the weight of heavy tuning machines, the EHB1006MS experiences far less neck dive than an old-school bass. You also get Schaller S-Locks strap lock pins to make sure your bass stays on the strap, no matter what acrobatics you get up to onstage. Other luxe features include the ultra-durable stainless steel frets, luminescent side dot inlays, and locking output jack. Choose an Ibanez EHB1006MS if you’re ready for a bass that you can't put down.
