Ibanez ANB205 Adam Nitti Signature 5-String Bass, Transparent Wine Red Burst, Maple Fretboard, Bartolini Electronics

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this absolute tone beast of a bass from our pals over at Ibanez.

The Adam Nitti bass is designed by and for a gigging musician that needs the ability to get a wide array of versatile and extremely musical tones along. It sounds amazing, is lightweight and comfortable to play, and it's just one of those basses that gives you exactly what you need without too many frills or any of the stuff that you really won't ever use.

The Bartolini electronics sound powerful, super punchy, and they're going to get you a classic active j-bass modern tone that can really be shaped and dialed in to either give support to the mix or it can really stand out and cut through. All it takes is a few simple knob twists. Along with controls that won't get in your way, the neck is smooth to play and it's easy to fly up and down or just hang down low in first position grooving all night long.

This really is a bass player's bass. It's got the essentials all dialed in and is ready for the studio or stage.

Bartolini® 59CBJD pickups
Bartolini® 59CBJD pickups are passive designs that feature an extended and more resonant frequency range. The pickups have far more "air" and definition at the top end without sacrificing lows and low mids. The pickups are cast in epoxy to remove any unwanted feedback and microphonics.

NTMB+F preamp

The passive tone trimmer equipped in the cavity enables players to fine tune the brightness.
