Ibanez AEB105E-NT Standard - Natural High Gloss

There is something truly unique about the sound of an acoustic bass — pure, low, and full. Ibanez has that uniqueness in mind as it offers the AEB105E acoustic-electric 5-string bass. Featuring an AEB-style body, this acoustic bass has the feel of a guitar, offering a comfortable playability that suits any style. The AEB105E's spruce top, sapele back and sides, and maple neck are tonewoods that produce a stellar low end with a touch of punchy midrange coloring. A purpleheart bridge and fingerboard also add to the tonal quality of this fine instrument and its beautiful response and feel. A Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp with onboard tuner deliver great amplified sound. Bassists here at Sweetwater love the playability and tone of this great 5-string acoustic-electric bass.

Best of both worlds

If you're like many of the bassists, you love the sound of an unplugged acoustic bass guitar but also need the ability to plug in to perform with the band. You'll love what the Ibanez AEB105E bass offers you. This beautiful 5-string acoustic-electric bass delivers great tone, whether you're plucking unplugged or plugged in using its built-in electronics. You can dial in an incredible range of bass sounds with this system's easy-to-use controls. Ibanez built the AEB105E from the ground up to perform. Its spruce top and sapele back and sides give you excellent projection, plenty of detail, and incredible tonal balance.

This item is a "B-Stock Guitar" directly from the manufacturer. It is NEW Stock that has never been owned. Pictures are of the actual guitar you will receive.

A "B-Stock Guitar" is a guitar that won't have structural or playability issues but could possibly have some particular minor cosmetic flaw which can keep it from passing the rigorous inspection process put in place by the guitar manufacturer. These guitars do not come with manufacture warranty.

we will have our licensed tech go over the guitar and set it up for you. On this guitar Ibanez states it is B-Stock due to imperfection at the heel (see pictures.) That’s not to suggest it’s the only imperfection, but it is the only one Ibanez identified as the reason for its B-stock designation. There may be additional minor imperfections that were not noticed by us, but any such flaws would be extremely small in nature.
