Description
Sound & Tone
The jumbo mahogany body with laminated spruce top and X-bracing gives this bass a deep, woody low end that stays articulate rather than boomy, with enough midrange definition to keep note attack audible in an acoustic mix. The 32-inch scale and tighter string spacing lend a slightly quicker, more focused response than a full-scale instrument, working well for both fingerstyle and pick playing. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonicore and SST Shape Shifter preamp deliver a balanced, natural amplified voice through XLR or quarter-inch, suiting unplugged-style singer-songwriter sets, folk and acoustic ensembles, and direct studio tracking.
Ibanez AEB10E-DVS Artwood Series Acoustic Electric Bass in Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss Finish
This AEB10E-DVS puts the balanced ergonomics of Ibanez's jumbo body design directly in your hands, with a soft Florentine cutaway that keeps upper-fret access open and playable. The mahogany construction—back, sides, and neck—delivers deep, articulate lows without muddiness, responsive equally well to fingerstyle work or pick-driven playing. As B-Stock inventory, this bass shows cosmetic wear (sand-through on body, dried glue spot near rosette) that in no way affects playability or sound.
Build & Tonal Character
The laminated spruce top with mahogany back and sides cuts through the mix with clarity in the low end while holding definition across the frequency spectrum. X-bracing locks in structural integrity, and the 32-inch scale with 22-fret rosewood fingerboard gives you extended range and tight string spacing—a platform that grows with you from your first gigs through intermediate playing.
Electronics & Amplification
The Fishman Sonicore pickup pairs with an Ibanez SST Shape Shifter preamp featuring onboard tuner and 9V battery power, sending balanced output to both XLR and ¼-inch stereo connections. Dual-output flexibility means you're ready for venue soundchecks, studio sessions, and everything in between without hunting for adapters.
