I always wish these videos would include what amp and cab is being used, or if it's just DI. It helps me get an idea of what the bass sounds like vs others when on the same rig.
Hmmm i have BTB676 with regular bartolini pickups and it sounds similar. Those T1 pickups on EHB model sounds different. It seems that BTB have very distinctive sound.
@@DruEllz Not sure from which part of the world you are, but if it's Europe, the German website Musik Produktiv does sell this model. I had eyes on it too, but not the right moment to get it for me...
Awesome demo 😎🤘🏻🎸 I enjoy playing Ibanez basses and this bass sounds killer. Especially when demoed with a distortion. Plus the blue finish looks nice.
Agreed,I don't know what they were thinking,had they just put it vertically below the horn then I might consider,but not really a fan of neck-through,really like those pick ups though.@@AlexandarShmex
Great video as always, thank you! Your uploads feel like a blessing from the gear gods. ;) I’d be really interested to see a video about the Ibanez Soundgear Prestige basses with the Bartolini pickups.
Love your videos Gregor! But may I ask you something? I saw Ibanez made a 7 string multi-scale BTB bass this year and I find it’s pretty interesting, maybe you could make a video showcasing that bass? Asking for a friend.
This one with roasted maple neck and a 33-32 scale instead, in a 5 string with this kind of big string spacing? Now that would fill a big hole that is missing in the bass world right now. Both in natural finishes and colorful options. A comfortable bass without the risk of missing the tonal importance as much as the sms model which is 32-30. Ibanez or Cort? Please make this happen!
Compared to the BTB 605 MS, what do you think is there a big difference? I want to buy one that works for all genders and I'm between the EHB 1005MS and the BTB 605MS. saludos de colombia
are those neck bends like bass face did twice in this video really harmless to the connection of the body wings and neck? It always hurts to see when people do it as those are pieces of wood glued together.
The S series spoil Ibanez for me. I love ATK, Talman and BTB but its always S series that get the limelight and they are IMO gross, horrible body, tiny neck and super tight spacing. but damn this BTB is killing it, STUNNING looks and amazing tone.
Love the bass..., love the build quality, love it all...., but...., hate the colour, looks cheap... Only my opinion.. That would look amazing in Natural, but sunburst blue..., na...
Not just the Ibanez, but Frank is also a beauty and a beast
😂
Finally a new video with dad and son. I like!
I'm a simple man... If Frank is in the thumbnail, I'm hitting play 🤷♂️
agreed
Itt's why I'm here 😂
Same here! He's got the Itt factor.
Is it the bass face?
@@adamdixon6326 it's the whole Frank experience for me
It's worth pointing out that the EQ bypass doesn't just bypass the EQ. It also turns the treble pot into a passive tone control
THAT 1:42 is a phat slap sound, love it!
I walk around the house saying I am Gregor Fris (with a horribly executed German accent) I'm sure my girlfriend thinks I have mental issues.
😂
You're a bass player & you claim you have a girlfriend???
The bass face attacks again !!!! bravo
They sound great!!
Bass sounds great ! Really clean. I love it !!

We’re always recording directly with a rather neutral preamp setup. There are no amps in the signal chain
The btb basses are incredible
Frank Itt , you rock itt ... Much love ❤🇧🇷

Ordered the BTB605MLM! Blue starburst is good but white with the gold hardware and maple neck made my heart sing!
I want that one but it's a bloody US only model. No rest of world stock.
@@DruEllz Why does a japanese Company make US only models. That is so stupid...
i personally have the BTB 806 MS is a MF BEAST! mine is the classic transparent gray finish with panga panga fretboard sounds amazingly huge!!!
@@xelsnap9972hows the neck on it, i'm ordering the same bass.

Holy moly that sounds great. 🔥 even when passive! Nice work Ibanez! Like a super clean and mean Jazz
Very pretty and good sounding bass
I play metal and love this color, not everything needs to be black ;)
You are gosh damn, darn right. Have my white stage 5 schechter and wow. Yea doesn't need to black, even though the stage does have a black model
This is by far the BEST commentary on the BTB705LM ❤❤❤
Does Mr Bass face has a band or a solo proyect?
That growl right from the beginning is so amazing! Can us mere mortals get that tone with or do we have to be Frank?
What was the amp here?
No amp. We’re recording directly
I love the way the battery compartment is just way out there in the middle of an open field.😁
To me it's a deal breaker on a neck through instrument, I will never buy a bass that has it.

Wow …. Killer sound
Great video :) which amp did Frank use in this video?
No amp at all

Amazing ❤❤❤❤
I love Ibanez basses. They fit me and they sound n play amazing 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
2:23 SWEET HONEY MUSTARD... bring me that drive tone at once!!!
2:23 how do you get THAT overdrive tone?
That’s the Neural DSP Parallax Plugin. Very similar to the x series pedals from Darkglass
Love your videos Gregor! But may I ask you something? I saw Ibanez made a 7 string multi-scale BTB bass this year and I find it’s pretty interesting, maybe you could make a video showcasing that bass?
Asking for a friend.
This channel only review basses they get paid to review.
So here's hoping you get lucky.
@@AIP404 gregor has mentioned this in a previous video
These basses are still 4 to 8 weeks away....i want one

Those pickups are really great. They were only in "metal" basses but they were awesome and I'm glad they put them in more "normal" basses.
Just ordered the Mr. BassFace shirt
Does it neck dive?
I have this bass... No neck dive. Its really versatile and comfortable to play on longer sets...
@@ceebee2881 Thank you :)
beauty.....i dont know about that
The btb character tone is still there... 😮
are those neck bends like bass face did twice in this video really harmless to the connection of the body wings and neck? It always hurts to see when people do it as those are pieces of wood glued together.
No worries
While I enjoy Frank's happy look when playing, I more enjoy it when he seems like he's in pain
The S series spoil Ibanez for me.

but damn this BTB is killing it, STUNNING looks and amazing tone.
FRNK WD BSSS FCCC!!!!
I need fhis basses!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
....that 'Funk Face' on Frank though.....
2:43 don’t do it that could be the strongest bass but why would you want to hurt it that thing is expensive
Basses can take that. No need to worry
The face only a bass player could love!
What's next Frank's fingers,are they active or passive 😅😅😅
Frank is down right nasty
Love the bass..., love the build quality, love it all...., but...., hate the colour, looks cheap... Only my opinion.. That would look amazing in Natural, but sunburst blue..., na...
I don’t care about the sound. I’m here for the face expressions
What a weird battery placement
H.M?
2:43 don’t do it cringe 😬
Looks like Ibanez is scared of Dingwall
Regardless of Dingwall, ibanez has been making the BTB series for years.
@@zulu5157 just cracking wise..
BTB805MS is just a dingwall made by ibanez for 2/3 of the price
Ibanez is Dingwall's father.
@@TheDiamondBladeHDmaybe specs wise but have you seen the basses side by side
This is IBANEZ in name only , CORT made it in Indonesia, IBANEZ had nothing to do with building it, just told CORT what to make it of.
That’s how Ibanez has always been operating
