• Introducing Ibanez’s New Bass Series, “MDM (Mode Modern)”!

  

  2026/05/15

  Ibanez has launched the new “MDM (Mode Modern)” series, which combines iconic bass designs with modern functionality.
  Designed for true versatility across a wide range of genres and playing styles, the series features a unique design built around a 24-fret configuration.
  In addition to a dedicated body shape that maximizes access to the upper frets, the basses feature a stable roasted maple neck and stainless steel frets for smooth and stress-free playability.
  At the heart of the series are the newly developed “Delta” pickups. Powered by neodymium magnets, these pickups deliver a powerful, noise-free sound that provides a solid foundation in any musical setting.
  With a unified design ranging from 4- to 6-string models and a construction that blends traditional style with modern playability, the series expands the expressive possibilities available to bassists.
  The lineup includes the “MDM1000” (4–6 strings) featuring a solid-color alder body with a clear pickguard, the “MDM1300” (4- and 5-string models) with a roasted maple fingerboard and ash body, and the “MDM1600” (4–6 strings) featuring a poplar burl top and alder body.
