Ibanez 40th Anniversary 2609B Black Eagle Bass Overview
It's a rare instance when the bass builders at Ibanez re-visit the company's history. But even for the very forward-thinking Ibanez design team, the 40th anniversary of the legendary Black Eagle bass was too important a milestone to ignore- this bass has long had a cult following with pre-eminent players including Chris Novelic from Nirvana. So here's a limited edition re-issue that opens the door to an alternate universe circa 1975.The first head-turner is mahogany body with its sharp inward-turned cutaways, along with its gracefully shaped F-hole headstock, which sets the stage for this Black Eagle re-issue to brim with 70s-era cool. Its Maple fretboard boasts an intricate custom inlay, but the decorative pi+¿ce de r+¬sistance is most certainly the white-on-black Abolone eagle that lives near the lower horn. Sound-wise Ibanez chose a pair of Alnico magnetic Super J pickups to give the bass a "bright, aggressive" tone.
