Ibanez EHB1005F Fretless Bass in Arctic Ocean Matte

The EHB1005F is a purpose-built headless fretless bass that prioritizes comfort and balance during extended playing sessions. Its slanted back body contours naturally against the player's torso, while the headless design shifts weight distribution toward the body for reduced neck dive and fatigue. This is a serious instrument for fretless specialists who demand ergonomic precision alongside modern tone and intonation control.

Design & Build Quality

The chambered American basswood body with headless design delivers resonance and sustain while keeping overall weight manageable. The neck combines 5-piece roasted maple and walnut with graphite reinforcement for exceptional stability and durability, while the Richlite fretless fingerboard resists wear and humidity changes. Luminescent side dot position markers ensure visibility across the entire neck, and the 19.685" radius provides a balanced playing geometry suited to fretless technique.

Tone & Electronics

A matched pair of Bartolini BH2 passive pickups deliver warm, articulate midrange character with natural dynamics ideal for the nuance fretless playing demands. The Vari-mid 3-band EQ with EQ bypass switch provides tonal flexibility while allowing instant engagement of a flat passive response, and the locking Neutrik output jack ensures rock-solid connection stability during performance.
