Ibanez AEGB24FE MHS Fretless Acoustic Bass - Sunburst High Gloss from Joondalup Music Centre
The AEGB24FE‑MHS blends Ibanez’s sleek AEG-style acoustic design with a fretless fingerboard, creating a tonal palette rich in warmth and expressiveness. The stunning mahogany sunburst high gloss finish accentuates the laminates' natural grain, making it as visually striking as it is sonically capable.
Materials & Construction
- Top, back & sides: Laminated Sapele delivers a warm low‑end, rich midrange, and clear projection—ideal for acoustic settings or amplified performance.
- Neck: A durable 3‑piece Nyatoh/Maple neck ensures stability and resonance. The AEGB-profile neck fits comfortably and promotes confident play.
- Fretboard: Smooth fretless Walnut, fitted with white side‑dot markers for orientation, allows for fluid slides and nuanced microtonal expression.
- Body shape: Slim single-cutaway AEG design offers comfort and minimizes feedback—great for long sets or studio use.
Ergonomics & Playability
- Unique finger‑rest above the strings lets your thumb anchor for greater control and ease during intricate fretless runs or slap‑style playing.
- Medium-scale (~32″ / 815 mm) design strikes a good balance between portability and string tension, with a nut width of ~43 mm for finger‑style comfort.
Electronics & Amplification
- Equipped with an Ibanez undersaddle piezo pickup and AEQ‑2T preamp featuring onboard bass, treble, and volume controls, plus a built-in tuner, you can easily shape your amplified tone and tune even unplugged.
