Mode—The Birth of a New “Mode,” Reimagining Timeless Tone with a Contemporary Sensibility
Iconic designs and tones that have shaped the history of the bass.
The “Mode” series reimagines that philosophy through Ibanez’s unique perspective.
What we seek here is a bass with true versatility that adapts to a wide range of genres and playing styles.
While honoring the essence of the sound and tone that have been beloved for years, we’ve fused them through a meticulous design that incorporates the high playability and functionality modern players demand.
An exceptional body design that feels like a natural extension of the player’s body, and an innovative construction engineered to utilize the full frequency range without any distortion. Plus, a noise-free, powerful sound that combines traditional timbre with modern clarity.
All of these elements support the bassist’s performance in every single moment—from providing a solid foundation for the ensemble to pushing the boundaries of technical expression.
Transforming a legacy of resonance into inspiration for an ever-evolving future.
Serving as that bridge, this instrument will guide your groove into uncharted territory.

MDM (Mode Modern) 24-Fret Model
This is the most distinctive feature of the MDM model, designed as a truly versatile bass that accommodates various genres and adapts to all playing styles.

MDM-Exclusive C-Shape Neck
This C-shaped neck, exclusive to the MDM, is compact yet features a substantial, rounded neck back and a smooth fingerboard edge for a comfortable grip.
It is crafted from roasted maple, a material that undergoes heat treatment to ensure uniformity while enhancing stability, water resistance, weather resistance, and durability against warping.
Stainless steel frets have been selected, as they have become an essential element in recent trends.

MDM Original Body Shape
This original shape is optimized for MDM, designed with a 24-fret configuration in mind.
It was designed with the goal of providing smooth access to the higher frets, a comfortable outer contour for both standing and seated playing, a contoured profile that improves the fit against the body, and excellent body balance.

Super All-Access Neck Joint
To enhance playability in the high fret range and enable stress-free fingering, the joint area has been recessed by one step, and the edges have been rounded significantly.
The joint is designed with a wide contact area to allow the player to feel the vibrations of the neck and body as a single, unified whole.

Delta S4J Pickup
This pickup embodies the essence of Ibanez while retaining its iconic size and appearance.
Black-plated stainless steel pole pieces and neodymium magnets produce an aggressive yet balanced tone.
In addition, the hum-canceling design delivers a powerful, noise-free sound that supports ensemble playing.
