About this item

Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver full and balanced tone -Bartolini BH2 pickups maintain a superb balance between the BTB747's clarity and depth. They provide complexity and warmth in the mids and low-end depth that won't wash out. Long-blade pole pieces allow these dual-coil pickups to offer hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency. When you want to sculpt your BTB747's tone, just reach for the 3-band EQ.
Ibanez BTB747 7 string Electric Bass Guitar 9-piece neck is flanked by mahogany and ash wings topped with walnut. This unique tonewood combination serves as a recipe for complex harmonics and epic sustain. And a bevy of boutique touches provides the Ibanez BTB747 with all the hallmarks of an instrument you'll never want to let go of.
Neck-through design ensures exceptional sustain - Generations of innovators and top-tier manufacturers have relied on neck-through designs for superior sustain. Pick up an Ibanez BTB747, and you'll experience everything neck-through construction has to offer. You can feel the BTB747 vibrate clear through its ultra-stable 9-piece maple, walnut, and rosewood neck, right down to the strap peg.
The 7 string performance - As players progress and genres such as metal, jazz, and gospel are pushed past their technical limits, the need for a 7-string bass has never been more prominent. Ibanez is leading the charge with the luthier-grade BTB747 electric bass. By adding yet another string, players are able to explore additional choral voicings, new levels of heavy riffing, and solo tones that have rarely been heard from a bass before.
The Ibanez BTB747 7-string bass fits in perfectly with the rest of the acclaimed BTB series while adding even more sonic options. From its premium multilayer tonewoods and comfortably contoured body to its top-shelf Bartolini pickups and hardware, there isn't a thing about the BTB747 that a seasoned bass player can't instantly appreciate

5.0 out of 5 stars very impressive - not a beginners bass

i have been playing bass now for a little over 45 years and this is a lovely bass I can play this bass for hours on end and It becomes a meditation of sorts. it is a beautifully constructed instrument at an amazing price. very little "tinkering" was needed to make this beauty prefect to play right out of the box - the wider neck did take a short time to get used to - the sonic options are almost endless it has a comfortably contoured body and the Bartolini pickups and hardware are top shelf, the unique tonewood combination serves as a recipe for complex harmonics and epic sustain a seasoned bass player will instantly appreciate

Take it to a Luthier and have them dress the frets, fix the position of the pots since the aren't in line with the holes, hammer in the frets that are too high, and adjust the bridges. You'll need to tighten all the nuts since they are basically hand tight out of the factory. If only it had the good Aguilar pickups.

5.0 out of 5 stars great instrument - amazing increase in creativity from having the additional string
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2023
I write this as a 6 string bass player so this is an incremental improvement for me, but not the same as if I were jumping straight from a 4 string. (i had to return one to a different seller due to shipping damage and re-purchased from another seller) Pitbull packaged this instrument much better than my previous seller did and this item arrived undamaged. I cannot say enough good things about the bass. I did have to adjust the action slightly due to some string buzz out of the box - it is normal to need to set these up when new and they give you the tools to do it if you prefer not to take it to a technician. Works perfectly now. The electronics sound great. The 7th string is sweet. The action is nice and low yet it doesn't buzz. This is a professional grade instrument and really the first time I have bought one of this quality in my 40 years of playing. This is a niche instrument for sure but if you have love a 5 or 6 string and want to feel more room for creativity, consider getting this one. You never know how long it will stay in production and the next item i could find was close to 3k.
