Ibanez Mike D’Antonio Signature MDB5 Bass Guitar – Oxblood Weathered Black

4-string Electric Bass with Okoume Body, 3-piece Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Oxblood Weathered Black

Custom Bass Designed by a Metalcore Master

The Mike D’Antonio Signature MDB5 bass guitar dominates stages worldwide in the hands of Killswitch Engage’s founding bassist, Mike D’Antonio. Now, you can summon the aggressive styling and bellowing tone that make it a workhorse for gigging and recording applications. The MDB5 comes with an okoume body for a resonant tonal foundation. A 3-piece maple neck, complete with rosewood fretboard and slinky medium frets, encourages you to reach new levels of high-gain heroics while you hold down the groove. Your plugged-in tone comes courtesy of vintage-voiced Seymour Duncan SPB-1 and SJB-2 pickups. We appreciate that the MDB5 comes with glow-in-the-dark side dots, a must-have for gigging on dark stages. If you’re looking for a new bass to rule your band’s low end, the Ibanez Mike D’Antonio Signature MDB5 will do nicely.

Designed to Mike D’Antonio’s specs

Mike D’Antonio worked closely with Ibanez throughout the design process to ensure that his signature MDB5 turned out precisely as he envisioned. Everything from the okoume body to the exclusive fretboard inlay was personally approved by Mike. You’ll appreciate how well the custom MDB neck carve sits in your hand as you work up and down the rosewood fingerboard. Finally, the aggressively styled MDB5 comes with blacked-out hardware to complete the look.

PJ-style pickups for tonal versatility

Mike’s hard-hitting sound comes from a pair of Seymour Duncan PJ-style pickups. The MDB5 comes loaded with an SPB-1 split-coil pickup in the middle position for an authoritative thump and clear articulation. Down in the bridge position, you’ll find an SJB-1B J-style pickup that pumps out the growling punch needed to cut through a dense mix. Together, the pickups and premium electronics give you plenty of tones to work with onstage and in the studio.

Thoughtful appointments maximize this bass’s potential

Whether he’s playing with Killswitch Engage or Death Ray Vision, Mike D’Antonio needs a bass that can match his intensity. The MDB5 is equipped with an Accu-cast B200 bridge for rock-solid intonation and tons of sustain. Medium frets ensure slinky playability, while glow-in-the-dark side dot inlays help you navigate the neck on dark stages. This is just the tip of the iceberg! As you log hours on the Ibanez Mike D’Antonio Signature MDB5, you’ll discover more and more thoughtful design elements.
