This EHB1005MSM comes to us in excellent condition — clean, well-kept, and ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe EHB series represents Ibanez's most serious foray into ergonomic headless design, and the 1005MSM makes a compelling case for the format. The chambered American Basswood body is notably light and contoured, with a slanted back that keeps the bass positioned consistently whether you're sitting or standing — a genuine practical advantage for players who move between both during long sessions. Headless construction shifts the balance point back toward the body, eliminating neck dive entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe five-piece roasted Maple and Walnut neck is graphite-reinforced for long-term stability, and the roasted Maple fingerboard feels smooth and fast under the hand. The multi-scale design — running 33\" to 35\" across the five strings — gives the low B genuine tension and focus while keeping the upper strings comfortable and responsive. Twenty-four stainless steel fanned frets deliver both durability and tonal brightness, and the luminescent side dots make the offset fret markers easy to read in low light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBartolini BH2 passive soapbar pickups sit at the heart of the tonal package, delivering the full, warm character Bartolini is known for. These are paired with Ibanez's Vari-mid 3-band active EQ — with a variable mid-frequency sweep for genuinely wide tonal range — and an EQ bypass switch that drops the circuit to passive with the treble control acting as a tone pot. Individual Monorail bridges offer adjustable string spacing and maximum vibration transfer to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor the player curious about multi-scale or headless basses but reluctant to commit at full retail, this is an excellent entry point into a bass that regularly impresses players far beyond its price bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49664062980335,"sku":"CON2191","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/4071\/files\/0H3A3598.jpg?v=1780639651","url":"https:\/\/www.basscentre.com.au\/products\/preloved-ibanez-ehb1005msm","provider":"Bass Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
