Description
Sound & Tone
The jumbo body with laminated spruce top over mahogany back and sides gives this bass a warm, woody low end with focused note definition and natural sustain, while the 32" scale keeps the attack tight and the fretting hand comfortable. Unplugged it has enough acoustic body to sit in with strummed guitars and vocals, and the Fishman Sonicore pickup through the AEQ-SST preamp translates that character cleanly into a PA or bass amp via XLR or ¼" outputs. It suits unplugged singer-songwriter sessions, folk and roots gigs, and studio work calling for an upright-leaning tone with practical amplified reinforcement.
Ibanez AEB10E-DVS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Bass in Dark Violin Sunburst
The AEB10E-DVS captures the warm, articulate response of a jumbo acoustic bass in a compact format that preserves playability and comfort for extended tracking sessions. Its soft Florentine cutaway and 32" scale strike a practical balance between traditional acoustic character and modern ergonomics, translating to the studio or control room with the amplified resonance of an upright without the physical footprint constraints.
Build & Tonal Foundation
The laminated spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides yields a resonant, focused low-end with natural sustain and clarity—essential for sitting cleanly in dense mixes while maintaining definition on both direct and amplified passes. A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide structural stability and smooth playing feel, while the compensated Ivorex II saddle and matching nut ensure accurate intonation across the range for consistent session tracking.
Electronics & Amplification
The onboard Fishman Sonicore pickup feeds a Ibanez AEQ-SST Shape Shifter preamp with integrated tuner, offering balanced XLR and ¼" stereo outputs for direct interface with audio interfaces, mixing consoles, or amplification rigs. The 9V battery-powered system delivers reliable gain-staging control during tracking and playback monitoring.
