Product Features

- Okoume neck
The Okoume neck provides greater playing comfort.

- Purpleheart fretboard
The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass.

- Spruce top
Spruce remains the most popular wood for acoustic guitar tops, mainly due to its pristine tonal clarity.

- Sapele back and sides
Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.

- Ibanez T-bar II Undersaddle pickup
The Ibanez T-bar II under-saddle pickup reduces noise and provides wide range of natural piezo-style sound.

- Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp w/Onboard tuner
The small and simple preamp offers two controls: volume and shape.  A natural acoustic sound is found in the center position on the shape knob and allows players to easily adjust from low, fat and powerful tones to a bright and crisp sound while using only one control.  A new, easy-to-read onboard tuner with LCD (liquid crystal display) is located on the preamp.

- Purpleheart bridge
The Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

- Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
