Product Description
The Ibanez MDM1605 Mode Series bass is a sleek, modern reimagining of a classic workhorse. Designed to bridge vintage-inspired feel with cutting-edge playability and electronics, it's a platform that lets you play everything from tight, punchy support lines to expressive, technically demanding parts. With a roasted Maple neck, Delta S5J pickups and the ultra-flexible Ibanez Sonitech S preamp, this bass is built to keep up with contemporary players who need reliable tone-shaping on stage and in the studio.
At its core, the MDM1605 pairs an Alder body with a Poplar Burl top for a balanced, articulate voice that still has plenty of warmth and sustain. The slim MDM5 neck profile, 34" scale and 24 medium stainless steel frets make fast runs, chords and slides feel effortless, while luminescent side dots keep you locked in on dark stages. Add in the lightweight Aero-Light tuners and highly-adjustable MR5S bridge, and you get a bass that feels as refined and comfortable as it sounds powerful.
Modern Mode Series design
The MDM1605 sits at the heart of Ibanez’s Mode Series, taking the familiar outline of a classic bass and updating it for today’s players. The body is compact and comfortable, with excellent upper fret access and a balanced feel on the strap. This makes it ideal for long sets, energetic performances and players who move between traditional groove work and more adventurous, melodic lines.
Roasted Maple neck & Rosewood fingerboard
The roasted Maple MDM5 neck is heat-treated for improved stability, durability and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. Combined with a smooth satin polyurethane finish and a Rosewood fingerboard, it offers a fast, comfortable playing surface with a focused mid-range response.
Delta S5J pickups & Sonitech S preamp
A pair of Delta S5J pickups deliver a crisp high-end attack, punchy mids and a tight, controlled low end that sits perfectly in a mix. The Ibanez Sonitech S 3-band EQ adds serious flexibility, with two selectable mid-range banks and a passive tone control for fine-tuning your sound. Whether you're after vintage-flavoured warmth, modern clarity or aggressive cut, the Hexa Mid system and EQ bypass switch make it easy to shape your tone for any amp, pedalboard or musical context.
Features
- Roasted Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard: The roasted Maple neck offers enhanced stability, while the Rosewood fingerboard adds a solid, balanced tone with focused mids. Together they provide a fast, comfortable playing feel that inspires confidence.
- Stainless steel frets: Stay smooth and shiny for years, resisting wear and corrosion so your notes will pop with clarity every time.
- Luminescent side dots: These ensure you can see your position clearly on dark stages, keeping your playing precise in any lighting.
- Delta S5J pickups with Sonitech S 3-band EQ: Delta S5J pickups deliver a crisp, articulate response with punchy mids and tight lows, ideal for a wide range of styles. Paired with the Sonitech S preamp, dual midrange banks and passive tone control, you get a huge palette of usable tones at your fingertips.
- MR5S bridge with adjustable string spacing: The MR5S bridge allows you to fine-tune string spacing by +/- 1.5 mm around the standard 18 mm setting, so you can dial in the perfect feel for fingerstyle, pick or slap techniques.
- Lightweight Aero-Light machine heads: Reduce headstock weight for improved balance without sacrificing tuning stability, making long gigs more comfortable.
