The rich rosewood fingerboard is bound and contrasted by pearl dot inlays for a very classy look. The 3-piece Artcore Maple/Mahogany neck has proven its reliability on thousands of Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow bodies throughout the years. The ACHB pickups are matched perfectly to the Ibanez ASB180 Artcore bass and produce very responsive, warm tone coloration, and moderate output which helps minimize feedback.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Nice workmanship. Lightweght and easy to play. Great vintage tone. The overall length is 45 inches, so even for a short scale its kinda big. The neck seems a bit wider than most but not difficult to play. The bridge pickup is great, very crisp at 12K ohms, but the neck pickup is only 1.2K ohms and not very deep sounding. I upgraded mine already to 30K one, fat and sassy. Overall she does great for my classic blues band. Not a rock bass. Play country or soul and shes fine..

Musical Background:

35 years play local gigs every week

Musical Style:
