Ibanez’s BTB33 Volo

“Thank you to the dealers who nominated the Ibanez BTB33 Volo for Best Bass of 2015. In fact, while we’re at it, we’d like to thank the dealers and bass department managers who have wholeheartedly embraced all of our Bass Workshop offerings. Taking the first experimental step of modifying one of our BTB basses to a shorter 33-inch scale led to other changes, features and alterations that produced a bass that promotes musical experimentation, inviting both speed and explorations into the higher baritone range. The bass feels fast…as numerous reviewers have verified. Why vote for the BTB33 Volo as Best Bass of 2015? It’s worth mentioning that almost every reviewer who wrote about one of these basses bought one from us! That’s the kind of excitement that can make a difference to Ibanez dealers!”

Riversong Guitars’ Graduated Scale Acoustic Bass

“Designed by Lee Manson, Riversong Guitars’ Production Manager, this bass represents all that Lee loves in an acoustic bass, plus Riversong’s proprietary build construction that minimizes stress and maximizes resonance. The Graduated Scale (Fan Fret) makes this bass an instantly recognizable and comfortable instrument, which has precise intonation and action controls that are unique to the Riversong design. Hand built one at a time, this acoustic bass sounds as good plugged in as it does acoustically. Balanced even tone and a warmth that sounds like a bass many times its size are what make this bass stand out.”
—Mike Miltimore, Founder, Riversong Guitars

Warwick’s German Custom Shop Star Bass

“We are thrilled to be nominated for the Best Bass Guitar of 2015! This Warwick Custom Shop Star Bass SC is very unique in the semi-hollowbody electric bass market, and we can’t wait for it to get into the hands of even more bass players in 2016. Warwick has had a great footprint in the bass guitar world for over 30 years, and we’re looking forward to an amazing 2016. Thank you to our amazing dealers and loyal Warwick bass players.”
