Ibanez AEGB24E MHS Acoustic Bass - Mahogany Sunburst

Step into rich acoustic bass territory with the Ibanez AEGB24E MHS in the stunning Mahogany Sunburst finish. Designed to combine the natural resonance of wood with reliable on-board electronics, this instrument offers the depth, clarity and versatility to serve both unplugged and amplified settings.

Key Features & Build

* **Body & Wood**: Features an AEG-style “thin body” with a sapele top, sapele back and sides — delivering warm mid-tones with a crisp articulation.
* **Neck & Fretboard**: 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck provides stability and strong resonance; joined with a walnut fretboard for balanced tone from lows to highs.
* **Scale length & dimensions**: 32″ (approx. 815 mm) scale, 21 frets, nut width ~43mm, optimized for comfortable playability in an acoustic-bass context.
* **Electronics**: Equipped with an Ibanez undersaddle pickup and the AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner — so whether you’re plugging into a PA, DI box or amp you’re covered for live or recording use.
* **Other details**: Includes a convenient thumb-rest/finger-rest (especially helpful for players switching between fingerstyle and thumb-plucking techniques), black die-cast tuners, and a high-gloss finish in Mahogany Sunburst for that stage-ready look.

Why It Stands Out

* Unlike many acoustic bass guitars that compromise on tone when amplified, the AEGB24E MHS gives you a full-bodied unplugged sound and reliable electronics for plug-in performance — making it a strong choice for gigs, studio work or home practice.
* Its slimmer body (relative to traditional deep-dive acoustic basses) makes it more comfortable to hold, especially for players coming from electric bass or those wanting less bulk in their acoustic instrument.
* The wood choices (sapele for body, Nyatoh/Maple for neck, walnut fretboard) strike a nice balance between warmth, clarity and projection — suitable for both mellow fingerstyle grooves and more upfront amplified tone.

Ideal For

Bassists looking to transition between unplugged acoustic sets and amplified performances without switching instruments.
* Bands or singer-songwriter setups needing a strong low-end acoustic bass voice that sits well in mixes and live settings.
* Studio musicians who value an instrument that’s immediately gig-ready with pickup/preamp, rather than strictly unplugged-only.

If you’re seeking an acoustic-electric bass that delivers rich acoustic tone and plug-in flexibility, the Ibanez AEGB24E MHS in Mahogany Sunburst brings it. From its resonant wood construction to its performance-ready electronics, this model is designed to meet the demands of modern bass players with both style and substance.
