Description
Sound & Tone
The jumbo mahogany body with laminated spruce top and X-bracing gives this bass a deep, woody low end that stays articulate rather than boomy, with enough midrange definition to keep note attack audible in an acoustic mix. The 32-inch scale and tighter string spacing lend a slightly quicker, more focused response than a full-scale instrument, working well for both fingerstyle and pick playing. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonicore and SST Shape Shifter preamp deliver a balanced, natural amplified voice through XLR or quarter-inch, suiting unplugged-style singer-songwriter sets, folk and acoustic ensembles, and direct studio tracking.
Ibanez AEB10E-DVS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Bass in Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss Finish
This AEB10E-DVS captures balanced low-end articulation through Ibanez's jumbo body design with a soft Florentine cutaway that maintains upper-fret access for session work. The mahogany construction—back, sides, and neck—yields deep, defined lows without mud, tracking cleanly for fingerstyle or pick-driven tracking in the mix. As B-Stock inventory, this bass shows cosmetic wear (sand-through on body, dried glue spot near rosette) that in no way affects playability or sound.
Tone & Acoustic Response
The laminated spruce top with mahogany back and sides produces clarity across the low end while maintaining definition through the full frequency spectrum for balanced recording chains. X-bracing ensures structural stability, and the 32-inch scale with 22-fret rosewood fingerboard delivers extended range and tight string spacing, ideal for tracking both root work and melodic lines in productions.
Studio Electronics & Direct Output
The Fishman Sonicore pickup routes through an Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp with onboard tuner and 9V battery operation, offering balanced signal via both XLR and ¼-inch stereo connections. Dual outputs enable seamless direct recording to interface or console while maintaining a clean signal path without external preamps or DI boxes.
