Ibanez AEGB24FE Fretless Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar – Mahogany Sunburst

Description

The Ibanez AEGB24FE brings the rich, resonant sound of an all-acoustic bass to the stage and studio. With its sapele top, back and sides, the AEGB24FE produces a warm, balanced tone, perfect for accompanying vocals or blending into an acoustic ensemble. Its slim, single-cutaway body provides easy playability while projecting a full low end.

Crafted With Sapele and Nyatoh/Maple for Organic Tone

The top, back and sides are all sapele, which gives the AEGB24FE a warm, rounded tone with nice presence in the mids. Combined with the three-piece nyatoh and maple neck, you get excellent resonance and a rich low end. The walnut fingerboard contributes to the AEGB24FE’s balanced tonal character. Together, these tonewoods produce an acoustic bass sound that blends beautifully with other instruments.

Innovative Fretless Design for Expressive Playing

The AEGB24FE has a fretless fingerboard, giving you the freedom to slide, bend and vibrate notes for more vocal-like expression. The walnut fingerboard provides a smooth surface for gliding up and down the neck. This innovative design makes the AEGB24FE an excellent choice for musical styles like jazz, funk or R&B where you want to emulate an upright bass.

Undersaddle Pickup and Preamp for Amplified Performance

Plug in the Ibanez undersaddle pickup to accurately reproduce the AEGB24FE’s natural acoustic tone through an amplifier or PA. The built-in AEQ-2T preamp lets you shape your amplified sound with adjustable bass and treble controls. It also has a tuner that operates without plugging in, excellent for quick onstage tuning.

Play Comfortably With Finger Rest and Walnut Bridge

The AEGB24FE has a finger rest above the strings so you can find a comfortable thumb position. This ergonomic design makes playing the fretless neck even easier. The walnut bridge transfers vibrations directly into the body for organic tone and sustain. Every detail of the AEGB24FE is designed with the bassist in mind.
