The Ibanez AEGB24FE makes the jump a lot easier than you might expect. It's an acoustic-electric bass built around Ibanez's slim-body AEG platform, tuned for the fretless player who wants to explore that lyrical, singing tone without hauling around an upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-sapele construction gives the AEGB24FE a warm, full-bodied acoustic voice with a bit of brightness in the upper register — balanced and present in a way that works whether you're sitting on the couch noodling or miked up at a coffeehouse gig. The slim, single-cutaway body keeps it comfortable to play for long stretches, and the 32\" short scale is noticeably easier on your left hand than a standard 34\" bass, which matters a lot more when you're sliding up and down a smooth fretboard all night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a bass that suits players drawn to jazz, R\u0026amp;B, or acoustic settings — anywhere that smooth, gliding note expression earns its place in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is a B-Stock guitar sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is new and has never been previously owned. The photos shown are of the exact instrument you will receive. Before shipment, our licensed technician will inspect and professionally set up the guitar to ensure it is playing its best. During our inspection, we noticed Chip in finish on lower bottom bout and minor binding flaw. (see pictures) Please note, these may not be the only cosmetic imperfections. As a B-Stock instrument, there may be additional minor blemishes that are small in nature and do not affect playability or performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSapele Body — Warm, Resonant, and Ready Unplugged\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body top, back, and sides are all sapele — a tonewood closely related to mahogany that shares its warmth and midrange richness while adding a touch of brightness. The slim AEG body style keeps the depth manageable without sacrificing resonance, and it naturally helps tame feedback when you plug in. A wooden finger rest sits near the soundhole, giving you a natural thumb anchor that fretless players especially appreciate for consistent hand positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is finished in Mahogany Sunburst High Gloss — a warm brownish sunburst that complements the sapele grain beautifully. The 32\" scale length (815.5mm) makes this one of the more comfortable acoustic basses to play, and the 43mm nut width gives your fingers enough room without feeling wide. String spacing at the bridge is 19mm — familiar territory for most bass players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fretless Neck — Smooth and Expressive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-piece Nyatoh\/Maple neck has a satin polyurethane finish, which keeps things fast and non-sticky under your hand. The AEGB neck profile is slim and manageable, with a thickness of 21mm at the 1st fret and 22.5mm at the 7th. The neck joins the body at the 16th fret via a dovetail joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood fretboard is smooth and even across its 400mm radius, with 21 fret position markers — white side lines that let you navigate the neck confidently even without frets. Rosewood's density and natural oils make it an ideal surface for fretless playing, providing a focused tone with good sustain and a surface that holds up well under roundwound strings over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElectronics — Acoustic Tone, Amplified\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ibanez undersaddle pickup accurately captures the acoustic character of the bass without coloring it too much. It feeds into the AEQ-2T preamp, which gives you separate bass and treble controls and a built-in chromatic tuner — and the tuner works even when the bass isn't plugged in, which is genuinely handy for a quick check before a set. The output is a standard 1\/4\" jack, powered by a single 9V battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp's 2-band EQ is simple and effective — enough to shape your tone for different room acoustics or amp setups without overcomplicating the signal chain. Black die-cast tuners handle tuning stability reliably, and the rosewood bridge transfers string vibration naturally to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Slim AEG single-cutaway with sapele top, back, and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: AEGB 3-piece Nyatoh\/Maple, satin finish, dovetail neck joint at 16th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Rosewood, 400mm radius, 43mm nut width, 21 fret position markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 32\" (815.5mm) short scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup: Ibanez undersaddle pickup with 1\/4\" output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp: Ibanez AEQ-2T 2-band EQ (bass\/treble) with onboard chromatic tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Black die-cast tuners, rosewood bridge, black bridge pins with white dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString spacing: 19mm; Nut width: 43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinger rest included for comfortable thumb positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Mahogany Sunburst High Gloss (Gloss Polyurethane)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ibanez\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEGB24FE-MHS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEGB24FEMHS-2ND\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e B-Stock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
