Ibanez Visions IV2MDM Mode Series 5-String Bass Guitar in Natural

The Ibanez Visions IV2MDM Mode Series 5-String Bass in Natural brings cutting-edge Custom Shop-inspired design into a production instrument. With its ergonomic MDM body shape, S-TECH roasted maple neck and powerful yet flexible Delta S5J electronics, this bass is built for modern players who demand premium feel, studio-ready clarity and rock-solid tuning stability in every situation.

From the black limba-topped alder body to the cocobolo fretboard and stainless steel frets, every element has been chosen to enhance tone, playability and long-term reliability. The Sonitech 3-band EQ with Hexa Mid system gives you forensic control over your sound, while a push/pull bypass lets you flip instantly into a pure passive voice. Whether you are locking down intricate technical lines or laying down huge low-end foundations, the IV2MDM is designed to keep up with the most demanding sessions and stages.

Comfort is at the heart of the Visions concept. The Super All Access Neck Joint and sculpted MDM body contour make upper-fret work feel effortless, while the detachable finger ramp encourages a consistent right-hand technique across all five strings. Add in the MR5S mono-rail bridge and lightweight Gotoh RES-O-LITE tuners, and you have a bass that feels incredibly responsive, balanced and precise under the hands.

Visually, the Natural satin polyurethane finish lets the black limba top and matching control cavity cover take centre stage, delivering a boutique aesthetic that reflects the instrument’s Custom Shop roots. This is a serious, professional-grade 5-string that rewards nuanced playing, offers deep tonal flexibility and is ready to become the backbone of your rig.

S-TECH Roasted Maple Neck with Cocobolo Fretboard

The S-TECH roasted maple neck offers exceptional stability, resistance to environmental changes and a smooth, fast feel thanks to its satin finish. Paired with a cocobolo fretboard, you get a snappy, articulate response with enhanced clarity and note separation, ideal for complex lines and chordal work on a 5-string platform.

Delta S5J Pickups with Sonitech Hexa Mid EQ

Delta S5J pickups provide a clear, punchy and hum-cancelling foundation, capturing every nuance of your playing with minimal noise. The Ibanez Sonitech S Preamp 3-band EQ with Hexa Mid system then lets you sculpt your mids with surgical precision, making it easy to sit perfectly in any mix, from tight modern metal to deep, rounded R&B and fusion tones.

Ergonomic MDM Body and Super All Access Neck Joint

The MDM body shape is engineered for comfort, balance and long sets, with contours that sit naturally against the body whether you play seated or standing. The Super All Access Neck Joint removes bulk where the neck meets the body, giving you unhindered access to all 24 frets so you can explore the full range of the instrument without compromise.

Premium Hardware and Detachable Finger Ramp

The MR5S mono-rail bridge with brass saddles ensures excellent string-to-string isolation, strong sustain and precise intonation, while Gotoh RES-O-LITE tuners keep the headstock light and the tuning rock solid. The detachable finger ramp encourages a consistent plucking-hand height across the strings, aiding speed, accuracy and dynamic control for modern techniques.

• Custom Shop-inspired Visions Mode Design - Drawing from Ibanez Visions Custom Shop concepts, the IV2MDM delivers a boutique feel and aesthetic in a production model, giving you high-end ergonomics, tonewoods and detailing without stepping into full custom territory.
• S-TECH Roasted Maple Neck with Stainless Steel Frets - The roasted maple neck offers enhanced stability and a smooth satin feel, while medium stainless steel frets with Custom Shop edge treatment provide slick bending, accurate intonation and exceptional durability for heavy gigging and touring.
• Delta S5J Pickups with Active/Passive Flexibility - Hum-cancelling Delta S5J pickups feed the Ibanez Sonitech 3-band EQ with Hexa Mid system for powerful active shaping, and a push/pull bypass lets you switch to a passive voice instantly, giving you two distinct tonal platforms in one bass.
• MR5S Mono-rail Bridge and Gotoh RES-O-LITE Tuners - The MR5S bridge with brass saddles maximises sustain and clarity from each string, while lightweight Gotoh RES-O-LITE tuners improve balance and reduce neck dive, keeping the bass comfortable and responsive over long sessions.
