Ibanez Introduces New EHB1005F Fretless With Blue Richlite Fingerboard

Its distinctive look comes from the combination of a blue Richlite fretboard and a brand new Arctic Ocean Matte finish

Ibanez has introduced the latest addition to its EHB lineup of headless basses, the EHB1005F. This bass shares a largely similar feature set with that of the EHB1000 series. Itโ€™s equipped with a chambered American Basswood body, a Roasted Maple/Walnut neck, Bartolini BH2 pickups, luminescent side dots and a Vari-Mid three band EQ. However, the instrument is the first-ever fretless EHB. This bass is not only unique in its function, but itโ€™s also one of the more unique looking EHBs. This distinctive look comes from the combination of a blue Richlite fretboard and a brand new Arctic Ocean Matte finish. Each component plays off the other, creating an uncommon and attention-grabbing aesthetic. This new design combines the modern features and benefits of the EHB series with the artistic dynamics and expressive nature of the fretless bass.
