    Gregor saying "panga panga" is always the highlight of my day 🤣

    As someone that has openly shared my disgust of the BTB style, I have to say that Ibanez has really knocked these out of the park and I cannot WAIT to try one!
  • @t.j.meechan682
    The multiscale BTB is one of my most anticipated bass releases in quite some time. Such a good looking bass in my opinion. G.A.S is hitting me hard.
  • @videonerds6415
    That looks amazing. I am a fan of BTBs and these look amazing.

    Whether they're good pickups or not, some will probably stay away because they can't change them in the future if they desire something different. Fender did this with their last Dimension and I think that bass would still be around today if they used a standard soapbar size pickup instead a proprietary shape.

    I have had several Ibanez basses over the years, from SG to a special Koa Wood one I bought on Maui. They are my favorite. Granted, there are far more brands and styles that I have not played than I have, but the Ibanez basses have never disappointed. These new ones you are featuring here look very cool indeed (IMO not in terms of style…don’t like big body wings… but cool in terms of awesomeness), crazy versatile and with the wonderful Ibanez ‘feel’. Thanks for the video! I will check these out.

    I bought it a month ago and i can't stop playing it. It's a masterpiece!
  • @Napalm6b
    sweet! I've got an old BTB400 that sounds lovely to my ears! Great to see the upgrade!!
  • @tigerscott2966
    Great video. Thanks. Really cool basses too and the bass player really has an unusual playing style.

    Never expected to hear Pantera, pleasant surprise

    WALK!!! ❤️ Mannomann, bin ja schon von Beginn an ein Fan der BTB Reihe (..meine Lieblinge waren bisher die Dx705, 1305 und die alten 700er OL Modelle) - aber dieses Modell setzt - für mich - vom Design und vom Sound allen vorherigen Bässen die Krone auf 👌 Ich kann es kaum erwarten den türkisen Bass in der Hand zu halten, KNALLER!!
  • @bassican7
    I’m definitely looking into getting the BTB805MS this year.
  • @Wido08GP
    Huge fan of the look and sound. It's great.
  • @jasonday8334
    Putting one on order today, I freakin love life!!
  • @alcantey

    My first bass was an ibanez sr300eb absolutely loved it but unfortunately it broke i bought a squire jazz to replace it and since then ive been through about 10 different basses most expensive being about 400 and none of them compared to my first bass. I recently went to andertons and played the btb805ms along with a dingwall and spector and instantly fell in love with the btb the others didnt even come close. Im saving up all my money and selling all my basses and im not even picking another bass up until I get it because it feels like im playing a shovel with barbed wire attatched from end to end. This is honestly the best bass I have ever played (even over a fender professional series bass) and is also one of the most beautiful. 100/10 ibanez great job on this one!!
