Ibanez MDB5 Mike D'Antonio Signature Oxblood Weathered Black Electric Bass Guitar with Soft Case

Allmänt

For Mike D'Antonio, a song is nothing without a fat bottom-end and, to lay it down, the Killswitch Engage bassist depends on his Ibanez MDB5 Oxblood Weathered Black signature. Just like his old MDB4 bass, this upgraded model has a metal-ready Destroyer-style body, which comes coated in semi-gloss lacquer for that trusty feel. So you can take this hot-blooded workhorse to gigs and rehearsals without poking somebody's eye out, Ibanez even include a matching soft case.

The MDB5: Hate By Design

Mike D'Antonio and Ibanez have picked a mahogany body and a bolt-on 3-piece maple neck to guarantee a stable, fully fleshed-out foundation sound. Plugged in, the two passive Seymour Duncan pickups take over. The SPB-1 split-coil at the neck serves up a range of classic P-style sounds, while the SJB-2 single-coil in the bridge position harbours a tasty selection of J-style sounds, any of which are easily tweaked to taste using the fitted volume and balancer pots. Lastly, it's worth mentioning that this MDB5 model comes in a Drop C tuning as standard, so feel free to start off nailing timeless tunes like 'My Curse' and 'Holy Diver'.
