Description
Ibanez AWB50CE Artwood Natural Low Gloss Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar
The AWB50CE is a single-cut dreadnought acoustic-electric bass engineered to capture warm, resonant low-end response in the studio or live setting. The mahogany back and sides paired with a solid sitka spruce top produce full-bodied tone that translates well across mixing chains, while the 34" scale and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard deliver the articulation and reach needed to cut through dense arrangements. Built for producers and engineers tracking acoustic bass parts with modern signal flow and recording flexibility.
Construction & Tone Capture
The cutaway dreadnought body features a solid sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and mahogany neck—a proven combination that yields sustain and tonal stability critical for layered recording sessions. The 34" scale and rosewood fingerboard with die-cast tuners ensure accurate intonation and reliable mechanical performance across extended takes and multitrack work.
Electronics & Studio Integration
The Fishman Sonicore pickup paired with the Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp delivers clean, articulate signal with minimal feedback—essential for isolating bass tone in the mix. Balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs interface seamlessly with audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and live reinforcement systems, while onboard battery operation (9V) eliminates AC tether dependencies during tracking and stage work.
