These instruments capitalize on the inherent tonal roundness that emerges from a short scale bass (30.3” scale), and couples that with broad and open acoustic voice. They serve as the ideal solution for the electric bassist seeking a mellower, upright-like sound for more laid-back performances. - Artcore - Ibanez first introduced Artcore back in 2002 and it has remained a workhorse hollow-body guitar for musicians all over the world ever since. The Artcore's combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of devoted fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz. Artcore offers musicians the purity of an old school jazz-box or a hybrid semi-hollow rocker. The line is highly respected for its tone, sustain and, expressive playability. ****Product Features**** - 3pc Nyatoh/Maple neck The 3pc Nyatoh/Maple Neck provides a rich mid-low end and great resonance. - Walnut fretboard A Walnut fretboard features a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end. - Medium frets Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes. - Linden top / Linden back and sides Linden delivers a natural and flat, yet accurate, tone. - Classic Elite Bass pickups Classic Elite Bass Pickups deliver classic tone, punch and extra output. - ART-1 wooden bridge The ART-1 wooden bridge gives a more natural acoustic sound. - FBT40 tailpiece FBT40 tailpiece provides excellent tuning stability.

If you're after a thumpy, deep, hollow body tone then you ought to consider this. The sound is reminiscent of a stand-up bass. You can practice with it, unplugged but I find myself plucking too hard to get a good tone while acoustic.In my opinion, this bass is best suited to country, blues and rock. You can, of course, change it all up with some pedals but, I mean....if you want to play slap bass, buy a solid body. Though, you can slap it and it sounds like a drum through the amp. Same if you want to play metal, get a solid.The scale is short so packing it up for a gig isn't a big deal. However, it is fat. Almost as fat as an acoustic guitar. This takes some getting used to. It is more difficult to stand and play it and I find it's better for sitting in an easy chair and thumping away with a small 40-watt amp at home.I like it for its sound and its passive pickup simplicity.The craftsmanship is very good and the finish and banding are without defect.If you plan on playing with a band or even just drums....get at least a 100watt amp.Anyway, thank you, Ibanez for making this cool bass.

Guitar arrived a little later than expected, however it was being shipped from US and seller was prompt in answering questions. Shipper not so hot on knowing where the item was that they had picked up, but it got here.The guitar is as described and is a really nice, quality item with a fantastic tone and easy action.Might be good to offer the Hardshell Case as an additional purchase, but otherwise I would recommend this seller.4 stars only because this was ordered as a gift and arrived after date expected.

Workmanship is high quality and the finish is gorgeous. The sound is unique. I'm in love. I personally feel it is good value for the price... Did I mention the beautiful, melodic and unique sound but can still dig through if needed?🙂
