Ibanez introduced the EHB1506MS in 2020, a six-string, multi-scale solid body electric bass belonging to the EHB series. Crafted in Indonesia, it is part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop line. The EHB1506MS embodies a streamlined design with a chambered double cutaway body, prominent upper horn, and deep lower scoop, ensuring player comfort in both seated and standing positions. Its multi-scale headless configuration features a poplar burl top on a lightweight chambered African mahogany body, connected to a graphite-reinforced roasted panga panga and walnut neck. The panga panga fingerboard accommodates 24 stainless steel fanned frets, along with offset abalone dot markers and luminescent side dots. Notable components include individual Monorail V HS bridges, Nordstrand Custom Big Split pickups, a detachable finger ramp, Vari-mid 3-band EQ with EQ bypass, a locking Neutrik output jack, and Schaller S-Lock strap pins.
