Introducing the Ibanez acoustic bass guitar

Designed for players who value comfort, clarity, and reliable performance, this Ibanez acoustic bass guitar blends classic aesthetics with modern functionality. Its compact body shape offers excellent playability, while premium components like chrome die-cast tuners, a black-and-white rosette, and white dot inlays add visual refinement. Outfitted with D'Addario XTB3790GS strings, it delivers a tight, responsive low end. Plus, the built-in Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner ensures you're always ready to plug in and perform with ease, whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or at home.

AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner

The Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp is specifically designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and treble, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in. There is one button and three knobs along the top of the control panel. The button furthest to the left is the tuner on/off switch. To the right of that are the bass, treble, and volume knobs.

Constructed from quality tonewoods

Featuring Okoume for the top, back, and sides, this instrument produces a woody, warm tone with impressive depth and clarity. Okoume, a lightweight yet resonant tonewood, offers a balanced sound profile with a strong midrange presence and smooth highs. Its tonal qualities make it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. The use of Okoume throughout the body ensures consistent tonal response and enhanced projection, making it a perfect choice for both studio recording and live performance.

Smooth playability

Featuring a sturdy Maple neck, this instrument offers exceptional stability and a crisp, articulate tone. Maple is known for its dense, durable grain, which not only enhances the instrument’s structural integrity but also contributes to a bright, clear sound with excellent note separation. Its smooth finish allows for fast, comfortable playability across the fretboard. Whether you're practising at home or playing on stage, the Maple neck ensures consistent performance and reliable feel.

Rich tone and natural resonance

Equipped with a Laurel fretboard and bridge, this instrument delivers both visual elegance and gorgeous warmth. This dense and durable hardwood offers a smooth playing surface that enhances articulation while contributing to a rich, rounded tonal character. The fretboard supports expressive playability, making chord transitions and lead lines feel effortless. The Laurel bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body, resulting in enhanced resonance and sustain. This natural responsiveness brings out the full tonal potential of the instrument—ideal for players seeking dynamic range in their sound.
