Ibanez UB805 5-String Upright Bass in Mahogany Oil Burst
The Ibanez UB805 is a fretless upright bass engineered for players seeking articulate, woody sustain and responsive dynamics in a modern setup. Its balanced neck geometry and piezo-driven tone make it equally at home in jazz ensembles, world music contexts, and studio sessions where precision matters.
Build & Hardware
Constructed with a maple wing body and 5-piece maple/walnut neck-through construction, this bass delivers solid structural integrity and tonal clarity. The jatoba fretboard with white dot inlay offers excellent durability and clear visual reference points across its 864mm (34") scale, while the custom AeroSilk MR5 bridge with Ibanez machine head tuners ensures reliable intonation and stable tuning.
Tone & Electronics
The AeroSilk Piezo system with active tone control provides transparent signal capture and responsive EQ shaping for a wide palette of sonic possibilities. Factory-installed strings arrive in standard 5-string tuning (1G, 2D, 3A, 4E, 5B) with gauges of .045/.065/.080/.100/.132, paired with the bridge for reliable tonal transfer and dynamic response.

This UB805 combines thoughtful ergonomic design with transparent electronics, making it a serious instrument for players committed to fretless upright technique. This B-Stock unit exhibits only minor cosmetic imperfections that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity—all hardware and electronics perform as designed.
This specific B-Stock unit features minor cosmetic imperfections: a moderate finish chip exposing lighter wood on the lower body edge near the output jack (roughly 1/2" in length), small paint nicks on adjacent body edges, light scratches and scuff marks along the lower body edge below the control plate, and faint scuffing on the black control plate surface. These marks are purely superficial and have absolutely zero impact on the playability, tone, or structural integrity of the bass. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a premium Ibanez upright bass at a significant B-Stock discount while retaining the full manufacturer warranty.
