Ibanez Adam Nitti Signature Premium ANB205 Bass Guitar
The ANB205’s comfortable, lightweight swamp ash body delivers solid fundamentals and rich harmonics, while the maple neck and fingerboard lend a strong upper midrange and crisp, brilliant highs. The ANB205 is a bright, full-spectrum instrument that’s right at home in the hands of a virtuoso, and to facilitate soloing, the rear of the lower horn features an extra scoop that provides easier access to the higher register.

Adam Nitti is an accomplished professional bassist with many fans here at Sweetwater, and his Ibanez signature 5-string is designed to facilitate his impressive playing technique. For the electronics, Adam selected Bartolini 59CBJD pickups, a venerable passive design that features extended frequency range with enhanced resonance, so you get more treble definition and air without sacrificing punchy lows and low midrange. The pickups are cast in epoxy to eliminate microphonics and feedback.
Bartolini NTMB+F preamp
Specially modified to Adam’s specifications, the ANB205’s onboard Bartolini NTMB+F preamp delivers extremely clear, transparent sound and offers independent bass, midrange, and treble controls with very low noise and a broad boost/cut range. The 3-way midrange frequency selector provides additional sonic versatility with a choice of 250Hz, 500Hz, or 800Hz frequency centers. You can fine-tune the brightness via a passive tone trimmer in the body cavity.
Hipshot A-style bridge and finger ramp
Adam’s preferred Hipshot A-style bridge features 18mm string spacing, which is slightly wider than Ibanez’s standard 16.5mm SR-5 string spacing. The extra plucking real estate gives bassists plenty of freedom to explore techniques such as slap, without compromising playing comfort. The ANB205 ships with an optional ash finger ramp that, by keeping the fingers from digging in too deeply, enhances tone and playing speed by enforcing a more consistent attack and quicker recovery time.
Ibanez: a brief history
Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan. However, the company didn’t get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the “Ibanez Salvador” name, which was later shortened to “Ibanez.” Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs. By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative instruments and had begun manufacturing the innovative original guitar and bass designs that the company is now known for. Ibanez is also famous for their effect pedals (most notably the Tube Screamer) and guitar amplifiers.
