This Ibanez CTB-5 five string bass was made in Korea in 1992.
It's a glossy, see-through dark red/wine colour, solid body with a
thin 34 inch maple neck. It's been well cared for and sounds great.
It has two volume knobs plus active bass & treble knobs (9 volts), so
you can dial in strong lows or bright highs. The bass can sound bright
for slapping (which I don't do anyway) or mellowed out.  The two black
single coil J style EMG "Select" design pickups are wired to buck any
hum when they're turned up together ...handy if you're around
flourescent lights or diode light-faders.
The rosewood fret board has 22 frets in a standard scale.  It's fairly
light at about 9 pounds.
The black bridge is surface mounted and has independant string screw
adjusts.
It has the common Ibanez 1990s two-horn double cutaway shape, with
pointy black head stock  The black tuners have that GOTOH look.
