IBANEZ EHB1505SMS-FNL FLORID NATURAL LOW GLOSS

Size Comparison

Ergonomic Body Design

Thanks to its headless construction and specially contoured body, the EHB allows players to maintain a consistent and natural playing position whether they are seated or standing. This design improves comfort and reduces strain during long performances.

Slanted Body Back

Additionally, the upper portion of the body’s back is slanted. This subtle adjustment brings the bass closer to the player’s body, which provides greater control and enhances the instrument’s ergonomic feel.

Ibanez Custom Headpieces

The rugged yet lightweight Ibanez custom headpieces make string changes quick and simple. Using a hex wrench from the back side, players can easily set or release strings without unnecessary hassle.

Comfortably Rounded Body Edge and Chambered Body

Moreover, the EHB’s rounded body edges and chambered design contribute to a lightweight, well-balanced instrument. This combination not only reduces playing fatigue but also ensures comfort throughout long sets or extended practice sessions.

Poplar Burl Top and Lightweight African Mahogany Body

Visually stunning and tonally rich, the EHB1505SMS features a Poplar Burl top paired with a carefully selected lightweight African Mahogany body. Together, they deliver a warm tone with impressive resonance.

To further improve playability, the body features an extra scooped cut behind the lower horn. This carving makes accessing the upper frets noticeably easier and more comfortable.

9-Piece Panga Panga/Walnut Neck with Graphite Reinforcement

The 9-piece Panga Panga and Walnut neck, reinforced with graphite rods, ensures exceptional stability and durability. Combined with the Panga Panga fretboard, this construction produces a sharp note attack, tight low end, and increased sustain.

Luminescent Side Dots

On darker stages, visibility is never an issue. The luminescent side dot markers make fretboard navigation quick and effortless.

Nordstrand™ Big Split Custom Pickups

Equipped with Nordstrand™ Big Split pickups, the bass offers a versatile tonal palette. These split-coil, hum-cancelling pickups deliver a hybrid P/J-style sound that balances richness, clarity, and strength—perfect for a wide variety of playing styles.

Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ with Bypass Switch

The Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ expands tonal flexibility by allowing precise mid-frequency adjustments. Additionally, the EQ bypass switch enables passive operation, with the treble control doubling as a passive tone knob for added versatility.

MR5HS Mono Rail Bridge with Adjustable Saddles

Designed specifically for the EHB series, the MR5HS bridge maximizes vibration transfer. Each bridge piece is securely attached to the body, and the saddles provide string spacing adjustments of ±1.5mm. This accommodates diverse playing styles while ensuring smooth tuning thanks to Teflon washers on each tuner.

Schaller S-Locks Strap Pins and Neutrik Locking Jack

For reliability on stage, the Schaller S-Lock strap pins and Neutrik locking jack keep both strap and cable firmly in place, giving players peace of mind during performances.

Detachable Finger Ramp

For players who prefer consistent finger-picking technique, the included detachable finger ramp offers a comfortable and customizable option.

Panga Panga Fretboard

Finally, the Panga Panga fretboard stands out not only for its striking grain pattern but also for its tonal qualities. It emphasizes a tight low and midrange response while providing a crisp, articulate high end.
