Ibanez PCBE14MH WK Acoustic Bass - Weathered Black

Unleash big bass presence in an acoustic format with the Ibanez PCBE14MH WK Acoustic Bass in Weathered Black finish. Built to deliver both rich unplugged tone and plug-in ready functionality, this instrument offers substantial value and versatility for bassist seeking depth, clarity and stage-ready performance.

Key Features & Build

* Grand Concert body with Okoume top, back and sides — offering a warm, full tone with natural woody character and articulation whether finger-picked or strummed.
* “PCBE” Maple neck, paired with a Laurel fretboard and Laurel bridge — the neck brings stability and brightness, while the fretboard and bridge help deliver a rich, warm tonal foundation.
* Scale length: 32″ (812.8 mm) — making it more compact and comfortable than a full-size 34″ bass, while retaining serious low-end depth.
* 20 frets, nut width approx. 43 mm, neck width at 14th fret ~58 mm — suitable for both novices and more experienced bass players looking for an acoustic-electric hybrid.
* Equipped with an Ibanez Undersaddle pickup and the AEQ-2T on-board preamp with built-in tuner — so you can plug in for live performance or recording and retain the instrument’s acoustic tone with control over bass, treble and volume.
* Finished in a striking Weathered Black (open-pore) aesthetic — delivers a modern, stage-ready appearance with subtle texture while preserving the acoustic body’s resonance.

Why It Stands Out

* Compared to many acoustic basses, the PCBE14MH WK offers a strong balance of tone, build quality and affordability — perfect for singer-songwriters, acoustic bands, session players or anyone who wants an acoustic bass that isn’t compromised.
* The combination of okoume body materials and laurel fingerboard/bridge gives the instrument warm character with defined projection and clarity, meaning you’re not losing bass depth just because it’s acoustic.
* The compact scale and acoustic orientation make it comfortable for smaller frames or players looking for portability — ideal backstage or for home practice.

Ideal For

Bassists who perform in acoustic-driven setups and need a reliable, great-sounding instrument both unplugged and plugged in.
* Studio or home players seeking a bass that blends the feel of an acoustic instrument with electric amplification and tonal control.
* Bands or performers requiring smooth integration into PA systems — the built-in preamp and pickup system makes plugging into live rigs quick and hassle-free.

The Ibanez PCBE14MH WK Acoustic Bass combines Ibanez’s acoustic expertise with bass-specific design, delivering warm acoustic resonance, stage-ready electronics and a manageable form factor. Finished in Weathered Black, it offers serious tone, stylish looks and playability — an excellent choice for anyone serious about acoustic bass without compromising electric performance.
