Besides the custom sjhop level of quality and exclusive hardware, tonewoods and electronics, signature series are also a fertile field for genuine innovations and character expression. Let`s take the new 2016 lineup of signature basses introduced by Ibanez at the NAMM show as an example. The most obvious choice to illustrate the previous claim would, without a doubt, be the mind-blowing Gary Willis GWB205E. It is a simple, godly sounding five-string bass with stellar specs list and majestic playability. It also features one of the cleverest, yet utterly simple innovations introduced in recent years - the finger ramp between the pickup and fingerboard (it prevents the fingers from getting stuck between the strings which comes in quite handy when the lights are low). GWB205 kicks off with a solid and double-cut body made of ash and a three-piece maple neck (simple and effective chassis, a standard among signature 200 models). Fretless ebony fingerboard on top of the neck has side dot inlays, fret lines, 1.77" nut and 12" radius. Bartolini`s NTBT-2 soapbar pickup is alone in the electronics department. Volume knob with EQ bypass push/pull switch and bass/treble stacked boost-cut knob form the controls. Standard hardtail bridge and die-cast tuners complete this five-string marvel.
