Ibanez:BTB33 Volo Bass

Ibanez Introduces BTB33 Volo Bass

Ibanez has introduced the BTB Volo to their conceptual Bass Workshop Series. The Volo is a fresh take on the company’s BTB model that is aimed at players looking to explore the higher registers.

The five-string bass features a shorter 33-inch scale and comes factory tuned from E to C, which Ibanez points out is better for playing chords and soloing in the baritone territory.

The Volo is a neck-through design that features a five-piece maple and bubinga neck, mahogany body wings, and an ash top. Another unique feature on the bass is an adjustable rosewood finger ramp that sits between the bass’s Bartolini BH1-5 pickups. It’s also fitted with a 3-band EQ with a mid-frequency switch for tone tweaking.

The Ibanez BTB33 Volo is shipping now with a street price of $999.
