Ibanez Multiscale Five String Basses
Here's a fun comparison of two ways that Ibanez has approached multiscale basses: the SRMS805 and EHB1005MS. Which one do you prefer? Please let me know. Check out the other videos I've made about multiscale basses here:

Thanks, man! It's been a slog! LOL
Just bought the 805. Knarly metal sound to sweet acoustic like tones. Played both. Didn’t like the EHB. The tone was thinner. The b string was less punchy. Love the mid sweep with low mid and high settings cut sweep on the 805. The whole instrument vibrates when digging in on the lower strings. I love the twangy ness of the c. It’s a hard rock metal thing. The b string when played with layered drive and distortion is amongst the best metal tones I’ve heard. It’s brutal! The increased range of harmonic tone mean I can dial in the tone I want. The Dingwall was not as flexible for me the overall tone was too aggressive. (daddario have an ok choice of super longs string sets for the 805 806) Great vid🤘

There's also a trimpot with the preamp I have read where the preamp can be modded to have more boost overall.
Love the video sir! I've been playing Ibanez a long time and I'm considering buying a headless one! Thanks for all the information!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this subject. Any chance you'll be reviewing the EHB1005SMS (5 string short scale) ?

Thanks! I would love to. We’ll see if I can get my hands on one when they’re available.
Thank you for this video! Were both basses tuned properly before recording? The B string on the EHB sounded out of tune and I couldn't determine if that was due to inharmonicity or just the instrument not being tuned. Also the EHB sounded a bit thinner in the lower register to my ears. I own a headless bass as well 'it's not an (Ibanez) and I love it for the same reason as you do. Ergonomic and can be fit in a guitar bag. It's my main player on the most of the gigs but it requires more work to get a good sound compared to my ordinary basses so I still use my other basses now and then.

The reason the ehb sounded less in tune and weaker in the low end is because the ehb has a shorter scale length
EHB is now clearly Ibanez Flagship bass.
Same strings on both?

Yes. D’Addario XL strings.
