Ibanez Mode MDM1006 PW 6 String Bass Pearl White

The Ibanez Mode Series: A Modern Take on a Classic

The Ibanez "Mode" series is Ibanez's unique, modern take on a legendary instrument that has become ubiquitous across various musical genres. The Mode series is engineered to bridge the popular sounds of the past with the evolving future inspiration of modern bassists. Whether the gig calls for a traditional supporting role or a highly technical performance, the Mode Series is built to excel in both. Its playability and tonal versatility are ready to help any player create distinctive and memorable grooves.

All Mode (MDM) series basses feature a specially modified body, designed for perfect balance and smooth access to all 24 frets. Beyond the specialized body, the Super All Access neck joint further enhances playability with a highly contoured and ergonomic feel, ensuring even the highest frets are always within reach.

A thin C-profile neck provides a fast, fantastic-feeling playing experience, while rounded fretboard edges add another layer of playing comfort. The 1-piece Roasted Maple neck offers extreme stability and a rich appearance. Medium stainless steel frets provide snappy tonal response and make for clean bends and slides while offering superior long-term durability. The neck also features luminescent side dot markers to provide clear guidance when performing on dark stages.

The MDM1000 series basses feature an Alder body and a Rosewood fretboard, providing a rich, well-balanced tone that suits versatile playing styles. A transparent pickguard gives this bass a modern yet authentic appearance.

Featuring "Extra Super Duralumin" on some of the key components, Ibanez Aero-light tuners are some of the lightest yet most durable tuners on the market today.

The MR5S mono-rail bridge transfers each string vibration efficiently and delivers great clarity and sustain, which helps emphasize chordal playing and fast passages. It also features adjustable string spacing.

The 4-string models feature 19mm spacing and the 5 and 6-string models feature 18mm spacing.

The new Ibanez Delta S4J, S5J, and S6J pickups deliver an aggressive yet balanced single-coil tone that responds clearly and evenly in all frequency ranges. They're voiced to cut powerfully through any mix while eliminating noise, thanks to their hum-canceling design.

These pickups are paired with the Sonitech S preamp, which offers a comprehensive range of tonal controls, including:
• Master volume and balancer
• Master Tone
• 3-band EQ
• An EQ bypass switch
• A 3-way mid-frequency switch

The master tone control operates in both active and passive mode. Additionally, the 2-way Hexa mid system is located on the back of the bass, allowing you to choose between two different mid-frequency banks for a total of six selectable mid-frequency points. The higher bank frequencies are 350Hz, 600Hz and 1KHz, and the lower bank frequencies are 250Hz, 450Hz and 850Hz. Together, the Delta pickups and the Sonitech S preamp provide an exceptional level of versatility to suit a wide variety of musical and performance styles.

A gigbag is included.
