Ibanez AEB10E-DVS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Bass in Dark Violin
Description
Ibanez AEB10E-DVS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Bass in Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss Finish
The AEB10E-DVS pairs a jumbo body with a soft Florentine cutaway that sits naturally against your torso during extended playing sessions while delivering deep acoustic projection. Its mahogany construction yields warm, articulate lows that cut through a mix without bloat—essential for the demands of live performance and studio work across any style. This B-stock unit exhibits minor cosmetic finish damage on the front body that does not affect playability or sound quality.
Construction & Tone
The laminated spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides produces the controlled, deep low-end response that rewards both fingerstyle finesse and aggressive pick attack. The mahogany neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers feel solid under your hands, offering smooth, predictable fret access across the 32" scale that favors traditional bass ergonomics and classic tone.
Electronics & Playability
The Fishman Sonicore pickup paired with the Ibanez AEQ-SST Shape Shifter preamp gives you real-time control on stage—integrated tuner for quick silent tuning, and flexible tone shaping via balanced XLR and ¼" stereo outputs. Chrome Ibanez die-cast tuning machines lock in pitch reliably through hours of gigging, while the compensated Ivorex II saddle and nut ensure accurate intonation across all four strings.
