** IBANEZ SDGB1 DMT Steve Di Giorgio Signature **NEW B-Stock Model (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech)B-Stock : small bubbles under the varnish along the edge of the neck; this is purely cosmetic, as the finish is smooth and not damaged on the surface (see the last picture)Original cardbox and accessories included.A pioneer of fretless playing in extreme metal, a craftsman of organic tone amid waves of distortion, Steve Di Giorgio has established a musical signature that is instantly recognizable—both fluid and razor-sharp. When an instrument bears his name, it is not merely a marketing tribute: it is a direct extension of his vision.This Ibanez SDGB1 is precisely a bass designed for demanding musicians, yet without ever becoming elitist. The body, elegant and perfectly balanced, offers remarkable comfort whether playing seated or standing during long sessions. The neck, a hallmark of Ibanez, is a model of slimness and speed, allowing complete freedom of movement. Every position feels natural, every note flows with almost instinctive fluidity.But it is, of course, in terms of sound that this bass impresses the most. The fretless design reveals its full richness: an expressive growl, singing mids, and deep yet well-defined lows. You immediately recognize that characteristic articulation of Steve Di Giorgio, capable of shifting from subtle, nuanced playing to a far more aggressive attack without ever losing precision. The onboard electronics are remarkably effective, offering a wide tonal palette that remains fully usable in a musical context. Nothing is gimmicky—everything serves expression.What is also striking is the instrument’s versatility. Although rooted in the world of technical metal, this Ibanez is by no means limited to it. It is not just for extreme music: it fits just as naturally in jazz, fusion, progressive rock, as well as softer or more experimental contexts. It adapts with disarming ease, revealing new facets each time. This is a bass that encourages exploration, pushing you out of your comfort zone and beyond your own limits.The Ibanez SDGB1 DMT is therefore not just an excellent signature bass. It is a true tool of expression, designed with rare attention to detail and complete coherence. A bass that doesn’t just accompany the music—it tells it.Specifications:Steve Di Giorgio (Testament) SignatureSerial: I251007938Weight: 4.450 kgFretless 5-string electric bassOkoume/ash bodyFlamed maple top9-piece neck-through maple/bubinga/panga-panga neckEbonol fingerboardNeck profile: SDGB2 Nordstrand Big single-coil pickupsActive electronics3-band EQ with Vari-MidCosmo Black hardware
