Description

An exquisite addition to any musician's collection, the Ibanez Performance Series Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar, with its Laurel Fretboard and Open Pore Natural finish, is a testament to Ibanez's commitment to superior sound quality and playability. Drawing from over half a century of craftsmanship, the 2014 Performance Series models, including the PCBE12OPN, are designed to elevate the standards of what an economical, entry-level instrument can offer.

The PCBE12OPN features a Grand Concert body style, which is renowned for its comfortable playability and rich acoustic projection. The top is crafted from high-quality Spruce, known for its clarity and resonance, while the Okoume back and sides add a layer of warmth to the bass's overall tone, ensuring a full-bodied sound that is both deep and articulate.

The Open Pore Natural finish is not only visually striking, enhancing the wood's natural grain and aesthetic appeal, but it also plays a crucial role in the instrument's acoustic performance. Unlike thick, gloss finishes that can dampen a guitar's resonance, the Open Pore finish on this bass is lightly applied. This thoughtful design choice allows for optimal vibration of the wood, enabling the bass to produce a more natural, unencumbered tone with superior projection.

Equipped with the Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp, the PCBE12OPN is fine-tuned to capture the unique frequencies of a bass guitar. This advanced preamp system also includes a convenient built-in tuner that operates independently, allowing for precise tuning adjustments whether the instrument is plugged in or not.

Attention to detail is evident in the aesthetic touches, such as the tortoise rosette and the chrome die-cast tuners, which not only add to the instrument's elegant appearance but also provide reliable tuning stability. The Laurel fretboard and bridge are not only durable but also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities, offering a smooth playing experience. Additionally, the Ibanez Advantage bridge pins are designed to secure the strings firmly, further enhancing tuning stability and making string changes easier and more efficient.

The PCBE12OPN is an instrument that truly embodies the fusion of aesthetic beauty and musical functionality, making it an ideal choice for bassists seeking a high-quality acoustic-electric bass guitar that promises exceptional performance and value.
