"I didn't have to lie to her this time!"

Feature:
A volume and tone knob. Anything else, active pick-ups, EQ, etc. would only detract from the already beautiful sound.

Quality:
The factory set-up is quite good. This is a very playable instrument. The action is fast and clean, solid from head to toe.

Value:
You won't find a better "Bang for your Buck" !!

Desirability:
Workmanship is impecable, Sound is awesome and the playability are just a few reasons I'd purchase another one in a heart beat if it was ever damaged or lost.

Sound:
Sweet and Clean. Has that great thumpy sound found in the hollow bodies of the 60's.

Ease of Use:
This is one well built guitar!! Out of the box it was only slightly out of tune. Fit and finish is top notch.

Support:
Great Support!! Unless I leave this out in rain or drop it down a flight of stairs I don't anticipate a need for any support. It's just that well made. In my mind, that's the best kind of support.

Overall:
She (the wife) asked me: "What do you need with another guitar??" Once it arrived and she looked it over she fell in love with it. I didn't even have to tell her the old story about how it belonged to someone else and I was "Just working on it out for him".

About This Product!
Description
Docs
Of course, there are a few other semi-acoustic basses worth considering out there. So why choose Ibanez (besides the fast that Ibanez is the number one selling electric bass company)? Because Ibanez Artcore semi-acoustics feature higher output pickups and a full 34 in. scale for better sustain and articulation than standard semi-acoustic basses. Artcore's Quick Change III tailpiece contributes to the great sustain of these all new basses as well as providing easy string changes. The AGB140 also features a mahogany/maple neck, a maple body, and an Ibanez ACHB1 pickup.
