The Ibanez MDM1606-NML Mode 6-String Bass in Natural Mocha Low Gloss feels purpose-built for modern players who want range, clarity, and control without sacrificing feel. The alder body paired with a poplar burl top delivers a balanced, articulate voice with bright definition, rich resonance, and impressive sustain, while the sculpted MDM body shape keeps everything perfectly balanced on the strap. A Super All Access Neck Joint and deep cutaways make all 24 frets feel effortless, turning extended-range playing into something fluid and intuitive rather than technical or stiff.

The roasted maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, brings exceptional stability and a reassuring solidity under the hands, resisting temperature changes while enhancing sustain and note focus. The rosewood fretboard rounds things out with a warm, centered midrange, and the stainless steel frets add a slick, fast feel that holds up beautifully to heavy use. Details like luminescent side dots and the included detachable finger ramp show how player-focused this bass really is, supporting precision and comfort whether you’re digging in or playing with a lighter touch.

Tonally, the Delta S6J pickups deliver an aggressive yet balanced single-coil voice that cuts cleanly through a mix without unwanted noise, staying clear and even across the entire frequency range. The Sonitech S Preamp with its Hexa Mid system opens up serious sculpting power, letting you fine-tune mids across multiple frequency points or bypass the EQ entirely for a more passive response. Add in the adjustable MR5S bridge and ultra-light Aero-Light tuners, and you’ve got an instrument that feels dialed-in, versatile, and ready for long sessions or demanding gigs. The Ibanez MDM1606-NML Mode 6-String Bass is available at Haggerty’s Music.
