SDGB1-DMT. Dark Moss Burst Elbas, Steve Di Giorgo Signature Testament). 5-string Fretless.
Known as one of the most skilled and prolific bassists in extreme music, Steve Di Giorgio's broad range spans from heavy-thrash-death metal, moving on to the technical side of fusion and the fluid and funky realm of jazz. While primarily performing in Death and Testament, Steve has also established himself as an in-demand studio musician, as his technical and recognizable bass skills have been infused into over 50 albums over his 30-year career. When looking for a reliable bass that can fit any gig, Steve trusts his Ibanez BTB models to do the job. So naturally, when designing a new signature model, Steve leaned heavily on many of the key BTB features as the basis for this bass. The end result is the combination of Ibanez's modern innovations and Steve's decades of experience - SDGB.
