The Trooper, Losfer Words and 2112. Josh is on 🔥.

I have the short scale multi-scale EHB and it's the most comfortable bass I've ever had. I did change out the BH2s with Aguilar DCBs and it tightened up the B string greatly. Also, they are already very light basses, but the BH2s have massive magnets in them so there was a weight savings with the pickup change as well.

EHB is the single most comfortable bass I've played. It's a delight. I have the 1505 multiscale and another 1505 straight fret. Went for the 1505 because I don't love the bartolinis.

You guys are doing a tremendous job with these shorter reviews! Absolutely love it! Now...can you guys have Josh do a "close up" how to gallop video? My gawd that boy can play! 'Arry would be proud!- Stay healthy guys if you're ever in Vermont stop in for some pancakes! ;) Brent

Indeed we do! As well as a plethora of microbrews to go with them ! ;)

played one of these basses in a store. Best playing bass i have ever touched. Just in Terms of neck dive it outclasses even the lightest SR basses, even in the 5 string non shortscale version.

You just haven't gone black yet. After that there's just no going back.

I love this bass, I think Ibanez is one of the greatest bass producers ever...yeah!!!👍✌

mainly a 4 string player but when I got this bass I've honestly started putting more time into the 5 than the 4 cause it just feels so comftorable

Mine has been my main slayer since I got it over a year ago. Super versatile.

I wish I could give this video two likes. One for the bass content and one for Chuck’s t shirt!

Welp! I’m all in on picking up one of these and get back into my bass playing! Looks sick and sounds sick!

Feel like the ehb was the needed addition to their line up, honestly they are incredible.

This guys knows what's up

I gotta be honest, I saw one in my local music store and was on the fence about it but I picked it up last night and I haven't put it down. I bought it for demoing bass ideas/tracks and in the rare event the bass player in my band needs a spare. I also just love noodling on bass. This thing is killer for the price

Cool demo. 😎🤘🏻🎸 even though I’m not really into headless basses, but this bass sounds totally awesome. I’ve been an Ibanez player for a long time and considering I’m more into soundgear basses, this is a great sounding bass.

I got the ehb1505ms tropical seafloor and it's awesome. Really dig the Nordstrands. Bought it used for $1,200 flat.

I love my Ibanez SR875. It took some time, but the BH2s are starting to grow on me. Can't wait to get my hands on the new multiscale BTB when they finally come out. Ibanez has been killing it lately. Great video!

@@anotakudetective1546 I might not be the person who made this post but having owned the BTB605MS and now the EHB1505MS and EHB1005MS, I definitely found the EHB as the better instrument overall, especially with how excellent the vari-mid EQ is and being able to easily swap pickups while being stuck with the stock T1 pickups in the BTB multiscale which I really wasn't a fan of. Tried replacing the stock EQ with a darkglass tone capsule and I still couldn't get a tone out of the T1 pickups in the BTB that I truly was happy with. You do lose out on the 37" low B, all my other basses are 34"-37" multiscales so this at first was a concern but the low B really pops as long as you get rid of the BH2s in the EHB1005MS for something like nordstrand zenblades (note that you need to use P4 sized pickups which are typically 6 string pickups, so you'll need to opt for blade magnet pickups like aguilar dcb 6s, nordstrand zenblade 6s, nordstrand bigblade 6s, or contact nordstrand for custom order pickups which is only $30 or so more anyways). another thing to note is that my BTB multiscale was significantly heavier in weight and both of my EHBs overall play better. Also if you're traveling alot for gigs my god the EHB is an absolute godsend as they are way easier to fit in tight places and have insane tuning stability.

Mine is in seafoam green, best 5 string I have played. They do a walnut one know which has my knees trembling. It does gospel deep and clear to midrange traditional p bass territory. I wish it wasn't hollow. The preamp won't last a lifetime. It needs a stand at ALL times. It will pull your amp off the cab. The pickups are a bit meh in passive Still my favourite 5

I am definitely here for the Korn bass covers. I’ve got this bass and I’m not sure how to feel about it. I want to swap the pickups for sure, but I don’t know if I can get on board with the multi-scale either.

Check out Nordstrand pickups and Lecompte. They make a pickup called Triple Threat that looks rad!

I had Bartolini soapbars in my bass with carbon fiber neck and alder body. But the sound was similar to what I hear in this review, like if the tone knob was always at half.

Still waiting for the 4 string version In 35-33". The upgrade EHB 2504MS; I will buy two, one in black and the second in black as well..

what is your signal chain for this video? great video btw, you got some Rush in there and finally a demo using some fingers.

This might be a dumb question but what is with that weird chunk at the end of the fretboard past the 24th fret?

I really was hoping to get headless bass and i was aiming for the Ibanez EHB but on all of the demos i've seen it sounds really dark and muddy...

@jonsidell3338

The Bartolini equipped versions are as you describe. The Nordstrand equipped versions are bright and aggressive. I have owned both and the 1505MS was heads and tails better than the 1005MS, especially in tone.

@kanesmith4961

I concur. EHB 1505's with Nordstrands or 1005+a pup mod is the way for a brighter sound. That said I've also seen people in real-life that make the bartolinis sing, so if I get a third EHB I'll probably get a 1005 and experiment with it before swapping the pups.

Your reputation precedes you, Mr DuBois (no one is gonna get this reference)

7:58 Check out Jim Lill's video

The only issue I found is that its available in one color for left handed. The green one. 😢

Awesome looking bass that is marketed to players of a specific genre. For 1350$…….not a chance

My take on this bass is that this is a short scale bass that doesnt "sound " like a short scale bass. particularly the fan fret implementation seems like a gimmick. 35inch is a great scale for the low B however there is no need to do a fan fret for a 35 inch scale. I have a 5 string with a 35 inch scale and it doesn't even feel "big" Just get a 35 inch scale bass imo and save money. This bass is for somoene who wants a short scale 5 string but doesnt want it to "sound" like a short scale. If you want all the benefits of a long scale 37-34 scale is best

There is no "tonewood". That's not an opinion but proven fact. Look it up.
