Without a doubt, your instrument should reflect the dedication you place in your musicianship and creative endeavors. At a certain point, the word ""boutique"" comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top-quality components, all meticulously combined into a stunning pro-level instrument. But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That's where Ibanez comes in. Their ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.
