Ibanez AEB8E, Black

In fantastic condition

Comes with its original gig bag

Expertly crafted from sapele, the back and sides of this acoustic bass exude pure sonic excellence. You’ll have a rich midrange and a crystal-clear top end carrying every note, adding both depth and sparkle to your mix. Sapele’s versatility is similar to that of mahogany, lending itself to many different playing styles and genres. What’s more, the AEB8E also features a magnificent spruce top, exuding broad dynamics and glistening clarity, so that even when unplugged, you can count on spectacular, far-reaching sound.

Soar across the frets

Along with its smooth design, the Ibanez AEB8E’s maple neck construction provides a beautifully bright characteristic, creating a snappy attack in the midrange with a sizzling high end. When the strings are played hard, the wood adds extra layers of punch to the tone, while light to medium picking offers more clarity. Crafted from treated New Zealand pine, the fretboard then offers a smooth performance and delicious dynamics. The treated condition of the pine helps bring out its natural tone while enhancing its lifespan. Better still, its bound edges also allow for fluid hand flexibility across the whole neck.

Amplify your tone

The AEB8E is equipped with an Ibanez under-saddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp, allowing you to take to the stage or step in the studio with confidence. Achieve an exquisite, amplified tone with glistening clarity, and sculpt it with precision via the bass and treble controls. Better still, there is a built-in tuner, so you can be sure to have immaculate sound every time.
