Description
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
Is this bass suitable for beginners and intermediate players?
Yes, the AEB10E-DVS is designed for both beginner and intermediate players. The 32-inch scale and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard provide a familiar, comfortable platform for those transitioning from guitar or seeking a shorter-scale instrument, while the 43mm nut width accommodates both fingerstyle and pick techniques without compromise.
What does B-Stock condition mean for this bass?
B-Stock means this bass is fully functional and ready to play, but has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability or tone. This particular unit has a neck binding flaw and a headstock finish mark, and is offered at a reduced price as a result.
What are the output options and how do I connect it?
The bass features dual balanced XLR and quarter-inch stereo outputs, allowing direct connection to a mixing console, audio interface, or amplifier. It includes an onboard tuner and is powered by a single 9V battery.
What genres and styles is this bass best suited for?
The AEB10E-DVS excels in studio sessions, home recording, and folk music. Its warm mahogany foundation and predictable, articulate amplified tone are less suited to metal and thrash metal applications.
How does the 32-inch scale compare to standard bass sizes?
The 32-inch scale is shorter than a standard 34-inch bass, making the instrument more compact and comfortable to hold across the lap. The soft Florentine cutaway provides easy access to upper frets while maintaining the ergonomic, player-friendly design.
