IBANEZ - EHB - HEADLESS BASSES 

Let's all appreciate Ida while she's on the show. Every upload I'm surprised she's still here! She must love playing these basses

Really digging how they didn't cut any costs with these. All of their specs scream premium, but the prices aren't too extreme. Strandberg basses got themselves some competition for sure. I really want one of these but I just wish they offered the Nordstrand pick-ups in that seafoam green.

The scratches he mentioned on the "headstock" are easily avoided if you pull the string through, mark it with a sharpie, then pull it out and cut it away from the headstock. Then feed it back through at the perfect length with no risk of damaging the wood

*Everyone buying a bass that Ida demos: “how come it doesn’t sound like it did in the video??”

I got my Ibanez EHB 1505 with Dragon Eye Burst roughly 5 to 6 weeks ago and absolutely love it! The sound, playability and comfort are all amazing.

Ida would sell any bass on the planet. It's such a treat to see her play ! 💕

Great job on this great video, you two! Thank you!

I'm a Dingwall player but Ibanez have been in my blood for ever. man, these look sick!

absolutely love my 1505. Game changer for my back and sounds outstanding

My Friend Has one of those basses I must say it is A Tone monster and Really Light and a Neck that plays like Butter. Ibanez has Done it again indeed. 👍Ida is so Funky Great Demo indeed👍😁

I have the EHB1505 and it's currently my favorite bass among my six basses.

Nice demo grooves Ida. Thanks for giving us some variation.

Really looking into getting one of these basses. Im a big Ibanez fan, and I've never owned a headless or a multiscale bass. Might as well kill two birds with one stone. Great review as always! Thanks my friend.

I usually get so blown away by Ida's muting and left hand technique that I don't pay as much attention to what is going on with her right hand... the economy and efficiency of movement is ridiculous. Constantly blown away by her technique. It really is close to flawless. Insane.

Now Ibanez will get the respect with these incredible instruments, I tried one and they are boutique quality

Great video! I changed the strings on both my EHBs the other day and made a video on it. I didn't mention it, but I ended up using a guitar pick to guard the "headstock" from damage and used cat nail clippers (designated for strings) to cut them.

I love the sound on this bass. The sound reminds me a lot of my T bird.

Ty for an amazing review. Looking at ordering my first headless bass

I have one and love it. There's only one problem that can be easily fixed. I've had several actually trying to find which model works best. The sides dots are a bad choice on all of them. They're supposed to glow in the dark which would be a good idea since the neck is roasted so the dots will tend to blend in whether black or white. Trouble is, these don't glow in the dark for more than a few minutes no matter how long you charge them with light. From what I understand the Luminlay dots are much better so I'll probably have to swap them out.

That blue 1500 model looks like something Skervesen would put out. Love it!

Great bass player...cool basses... Excellent commentary.

I’ve watched hundreds of these videos and never ever caught his name, even though he introduces himself every time! (Dude.... slooooow down) 😘

Think you could get a Taurus Vandall amp on the channel? Looks like a really interesting little amp. I might want to get it as a light weight replacement for my gigging amp and am curious what sounds you can get out of it and if the smaller size and weight has any sacrifice in sound

i've been waiting for this for too long..

I have a new Ibanez SRMS805 multiscale 5 string that is really nice though I seldom play it because I prefer fretless but I just had to try multiscale and I like it. I wish multiscale was available in fretless... It would have to be lined or you might lose your mind!

What did Ida say about it? Would she recommend / buy such a bass?

I don't even play bass, but that light green one is so gorgeous! I wish I could have it.

Hurray more Ida!

I got a brand new 2021 Ibanez EBH1005SMS-EMM bass a few days ago. It seems to have a manufacturing defect. When the EQ switch is set to ON, attenuating the Treble Boost/Cut control does nothing. It’s as if that circuit is not connected inside the EQ. I’ve been searching through videos on RU-vid to see if anyone else is commenting about the Treble Boost/Cut control on their EBH1005SMS bass not working, but so far have not found any documentation or demonstration of the issue. Does your EBH1005SMS bass' Treble Boost/Cut control work correctly?

Whenever you demo Ibanez basses are you running them passive or active with the eq flat?

I think they look great !!

I've been researching headless basses. I'd love to see you review the NS Design Radius basses. Thanks!

Does Ida have her own channel...? I need to watch more of her.

I like the headless bass, maybe one day I get me a headless bass have a great pristine sound. It is overwhelming to figure out a bass, I need to play the bass I have already. I need to stop wishing and settle down with any bass and play it, stay safe and God bless.

Your bassist is the best

Any word on the EHB1506MS beast?

I was VERY tempted by one of these but I was unable to try one and I couldnt find an in depth review which I trusted anywhere. So I ended up with a Sterling Ray35 instead.

Which one is a greater all rounder? Smb please help

I love that Ida is playing Goblin's Snip Snap at 1:50

When try the ehb 1506 ms bif??

I wish players demoing 5 strings would play more on the low B, especially below the 5th fret E note where the sound often disappears

I'll check it out once I'm off my Fender kick haha

What name brand of strings do you use?

Headless basses look cool but when I used one the lack of headstock meant I spent too much time looking at the neck rather than interacting with the drummer - especially for moves where the headstock in my peripheral vision was all I usually needed to hit the correct fret. If I got one now, I'd put a flag or a light on the end! 😊

Ibanez is really making the things much better, good electronics and woods, plus original models and not only Pbass and Jazz Basses ( wich i love!...but c'mon!)

Great review.....no 4 strings ?

Gregor, can you elaborate on how those Norstrand pickups are P-bass pickups in a soapbar housing? Thats very cool

I've been asking Ibanez but got no answer so far: does anyone know if they exist as left-hand versions? Or are we once again ignored by the big brands?

1) string up your bass 2) mark the strings 3) remove and cut them 4) re-install the strings

You have a very strong accent. However, as someone who is not an english native speaker, I can still understand what you are saying. Great explanation btw!

Awesomeness 👌👌🤟🏻

I love my 1988 Kubicki X-Factor!

I've had the 1506 ordered for months. Might get it sometime soon. Might not.

I want one!

“It’s a bit of an act of violence!” Haha yes sir, in the end it’s always boils down to the violence doesn’t it

These are awesome... I just wish they'd consider making a 4 string multiscale!

Wow those Nordstrands really make the difference. I'll take the fancy multi-scale one.

Finally Ibanez

Are these available left handed?

Ida Nielsen is a beast...

1:50 Is that Snip Snap by Goblin?

damn she's laying it down smooth

Still waiting for the 4 string 35"-33" : the EHB 2504MS. I'd buy that bass twice.

I really want the blue one with the nordstrands

Looks great sounds solid too. But I think ima keep my MM bongo

The hard Case They sent that I ordered... they said is the Fit is NOT a good fit. What are some Other Options? This isn't A Good Suggestion from Ibanez; WB250C Case

Price is the simple reason why these will struggle to sell, but they are very nice.. If they were £350 to £550 that would be a good starting point but around the £1000+ mark will kill it.. IMHO

oh shit Ida Nielsen :0

Очень впечатляет 🎸💓😁

Ida's thumb

These look very decent especially for the price.

Ida's a beast

Bolt on neck. Sounds bit old school. Prefer bolt on's with overdrive. Great demo. thanks

I really want this bass but I wish they had included a zero fret like the BTB models.

Thought it was Ozzy Osbourne playing on the thumbnail, cool!

ギター🎸テクニックを披露する格好いいオッカサン

The cool green color isn't offered on the four string, and that's a crime.

One of her basslines was straight up inspired by Goblin's Snip Snap !

you say lightweight. How much does it weigh?

WOW Gregor can you send me that cool green bass , I like

I really want to like it...

I want one.

Spector bass reviews possible?

nice

Man, I love you Gregor, but if you're going to bring Ida in, please give us a ten minute video with a goid solid 5 minutes of her playing. She's got the material. She's got the stylr. She's got like 2.45 of a vid playing...

Everyone liked that

Can we get an ehb1000 review? The most affordable one....

To prevent scratches on the headstock, it wouldn't be hard to make your own guard out of plastic card or even card board from a cereal box. Keep it with your allen wrench and slide it under the strings before cutting. I know, a bass should come with all the necessary tools, but in the instance of this interesting design I'd give them a pass.

Wie ist die Signalkette? Tolles Video!!

厉害厉害👍

You should cut the strings before you fully install them. This will keep you from messing the headstock up.

It’s like she came straight out of a Marcus Miller clinic, what is this slap greatness!!

Need the 6th string in blue

The ones with Nordstrand sound so much better. The Bartolinis sound muffled in comparison.

For me, I don't like the slanted fret board. .That' why I like the wood look one .( mohogany)

I ordered the 1005 and returned it after 2 days. It looks great, the neck is wonderful and a joy to play, the bass is ridiculous light weighted. There were some flaws regarding quality control (glue residues on the 20th fret and upwards, G-tuner was very stiff, and the volume control was loose. The set up was a joke, the strings dull out of the box and the saddle is way to high (and made of plastic, why no zero fret?). All in all, not a big deal. So I set it up to my taste, and exchanged the strings for a set of new Rotosound. But the sound of this bass is really underwhelming. It sounds completely muffled, no matter which setting you dial in. No definition, no treble and if you attempt to cut the mids and boost the high range, it starts to sound very peaky and abrasive. Moreover, the B-string doesn't impress. I have a 15 years old Ibanez BTB 5-string with the Chinese Bartolini Mk1, and it sounds like a complete different bass (even with used strings). It can confirm, that the Bartolini Mk2 and the preamp are really the weak spot of this instrument. If you're looking for a very traditional mid-range sound, which sounds like the tone control is all the way down, then you should consider the EHB1005. If you're looking for a defined, modern and versatile sound which complements the design of this bass: forget it or go for the 1505! I've considered buying the 1505 with the Nordstrands, but I don't like the blue "undersea" finish of this model. Why is there so little choice in colors? I was also hoping for the 1305 (even though i like the roasted maple neck of the 1005 better), but it has the same disappointing sound of the 1005 series if you watch and hear the videos - also on this channel.

IDA

unreal for the money..

This guy has 2 eyebrow modes: 1 - full extension 2 - full retraction (Love the channel, appreciate the content)

Today playing bass means slapping. Slap everywhere. It's incredible.
