Description
Sound & Tone
The spruce top over mahogany back and sides gives this acoustic-electric bass warm, rounded low end with enough clarity to keep notes defined rather than boomy, while the 32-inch scale and light .040–.095 string set encourage a quick, punchy attack that suits both fingerstyle and pick playing. Amplified, the Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp translate that woody character with articulate midrange, and the XLR and quarter-inch outputs let it feed a board or an amp directly. It fits unplugged singer-songwriter settings, acoustic ensembles, folk and roots gigs, and studio work where a mellower, more organic bass voice is wanted in place of an electric.
Ibanez AEB10E-DVS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Bass in Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss Finish
This AEB10E-DVS combines a compact, ergonomic jumbo body with a soft Florentine cutaway that sits comfortably for extended tracking sessions and grants easy access to upper frets. The mahogany back, sides, and neck deliver deep, controlled lows without muddiness—a tonal foundation that responds predictably across dynamic playing styles and sits cleanly in dense mixes. Built as B-Stock with cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability, this bass is ready to perform at a fraction of its original cost.
Recording & Playability
The 32-inch scale and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays provide a familiar, intuitive platform for players transitioning from guitar or seeking a shorter scale for session work. Mahogany construction throughout the neck and body ensures stability and tonal consistency across takes, while the 43mm nut width and 400mm radius fretboard accommodate both fingerstyle and pick techniques without compromise, enabling the articulation needed for precision recording.
Electronics & Studio Integration
The Fishman Sonicore pickup paired with the Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp captures articulate, natural amplified tone with onboard tuning capability for quick session setups. Dual balanced XLR and ¼-inch stereo outputs connect directly to your audio interface, mixing console, or amplifier, making this bass a flexible choice for recording, direct-to-console sessions, or live tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect the sound or playability?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections on the finish or hardware that do not affect playability, tone, or electronics. You get the same acoustic and amplified performance as a new unit at a reduced price.
Is this bass suitable for someone transitioning from a standard guitar?
Yes. The 32-inch scale, soft Florentine cutaway, and compact jumbo body make lap playability natural and intuitive for guitar players moving to bass, with easier upper-fret access than full-sized acoustic basses.
What are the output options for recording and live use?
The bass offers balanced XLR and quarter-inch stereo outputs, both powered by a 9V battery, so you can plug directly into a mixing console, audio interface, or bass amplifier in studio or live settings.
What is the string gauge, and what genres is this bass designed for?
String gauge is .040/.060/.075/.095 (lightweight set). The instrument excels in jazz, funk, home recording, and studio sessions; the mahogany construction and controlled low end aren't suited to metal or thrash metal applications.
Does the preamp include a tuner, and do I need an external tuner?
Yes, the Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp includes an onboard tuner, so you don't need an external tuner for live or studio use.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $24 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
