Ibanez Artcore Vintage AVCB9CE-NT Natural

The Ibanez AVCB9CE Artcore Vintage Electro Acoustic Bass Guitar Natural is a 4-string model released for NAMM 2017. This electro acoustic bass is crafted with a mahogany body and thermo aged solid sitka spruce top. The Thermo Aged process involves baking the tonewood at a high temperature, which increases the sound volume, the bass and the treble. This guitar has a grand concert body shape that provides a comfortable performance, whilst the single-cutaway design allows easier access to the higher frets.

This guitar is also equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup for amplification, along with a discrete two-band preamp. This acoustic bass is also equipped with both XLR and 1/4" jack outputs, for added versatility at live performances. A rosewood fingerboard enables a warm, rich tone and a natural feel, whilst a real bone nut offers excellent resonance and sustain, and provides an authentic appearance.
