Ibanez AEB5E, Black, Acoustic-Electric Bass, Gig Bag - Used
The acoustic bass guitar occupies a specific and practical niche — a bassist who needs to sit in with acoustic players, play an unplugged set, or practice without an amp. The Ibanez AEB5E is one of the most accessible instruments in that category, with a Florentine cutaway jumbo body built for projection, a 32" medium scale that makes the transition comfortable for electric bassists, and a piezo pickup with the AEQ-202T preamp and onboard tuner that makes plugging in clean and simple. The agathis back and sides produce a warm, resonant low end that carries acoustically better than many acoustic basses at this size, and the rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets offers comfortable playability across the full range.
Set up by our shop and playing well. A practical, well-built acoustic-electric bass at a used price that makes sense for a bassist looking for an affordable and giggable acoustic option.
Condition is Very Good with minor play wear throughout consistent with a played instrument. Check the photos for specifics. Comes with a gig bag.
