The Ibanez Mode MDM1605 5-String Bass Guitar blends classic design with modern craftsmanship and premium style. Featuring an iconic silhouette and advanced features, it’s built to meet the demands of today’s musicians.
This bass delivers rich, powerful tones with the precision and versatility needed for modern performances. Designed for both creativity and functionality, it seamlessly connects the grooves of the past with the needs of contemporary players.
Sculpted for Speed
Playing a five-string shouldn’t feel like a struggle. The MDM1605 features a specially modified body engineered for perfect balance, keeping the neck exactly where you need it while you navigate the fretboard. The Super All Access neck joint melts away the clunky heel of traditional basses, giving your fretting hand a VIP pass straight to the 24th fret.
Super All Access Neck Joint: Reach those dusty upper frets without dislocating your thumb. This highly contoured heel melts into your hand, giving you unrestricted, ergonomic access to all 24 frets.
Roasted Maple Neck & Fretboard: Feel the ultra-fast, C-profile neck glide through your grip. The roasting process removes moisture for rock-solid stability, while the rounded fretboard edges feel comfortably worn-in right out of the gig bag.
Medium Stainless-Steel Frets: Bend, slide, and slap with aggressive authority. These resilient frets deliver a snappy, articulate response that will outlast years of heavy gigging and furious fretting.
Sculpt Your Tone
Static, muddy bass tones are uninspiring. The Ibanez Mode MDM1605 shatters the mold with a highly adaptable electronics package that delivers everything from aggressive, punchy growls to warm, vintage-style bumps. With an advanced preamp and custom pickups, you have absolute authority over your frequencies, allowing you to slice right through the densest mix without breaking a sweat.
Delta S5J Pickups: These noise-canceling single-coils deliver an aggressive yet beautifully balanced tone. They respond evenly across all frequencies, giving you crystal-clear articulation on every single string.
Sonitech S Preamp: Dial in your exact sonic footprint using the comprehensive 3-band EQ. Need pure passive purity? Just flip the EQ bypass switch and let the wood do the talking.
Hexa Mid System: Take complete command over the crucial midrange. With a 3-way toggle on the front and a 2-way switch on the back, you have six distinct mid-frequency points to perfectly tailor your punch.
Hardware That Holds the Groove
Hardware is just as important as design, and the MDM1305 excels at both. Built with durable components, it offers reliable tuning and excellent sustain. Its black-stained ash body and roasted maple fretboard not only look stunning under stage lights but are also tough enough to handle the rigors of touring.
Premium Tonewoods: The Alder body and Rosewood fretboard churn out a beautifully balanced, warm resonance, topped with an exotic Poplar Burl cap that screams custom-shop quality.
MR5S Mono-Rail Bridge: Experience massive sustain and supreme string-to-string clarity. By isolating each string, this bridge prevents sympathetic vibrations from muddying up your rapid-fire runs.
Aero-Light Tuners: Keep your tuning locked down without suffering from dreaded neck dive. Crafted from "Extra Super Duralumin," these tuners are ridiculously light yet incredibly durable.
A New Benchmark for Bass
The Ibanez Mode MDM1605 is more than a tribute to the past — it's a leap forward in low-end performance. Combining exceptional playability, stunning design, and a versatile electronics setup, it effortlessly adapts to everything from soft jazz ballads to heavy metal breakdowns. Strap it on, plug it in, and elevate your playing to a whole new level.
