Primed for Fretless Finesse
Boasting a slim, sleek body, the Ibanez AEGB24FE puts a high-performance fretless spin on Ibanez’s renowned AEG series of acoustic-electric bass guitars. First, this fretless bass’s all-sapele construction ensures rich tone, fat midrange, and loads of resonant warmth. At the same time, a slim 3-piece nyatoh/maple neck offers stellar response and playability, with an ultra-smooth feel on the fretless walnut fingerboard. You'll also be taken aback by the AEGB24's plugged-in tone, courtesy of an Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp. Ultra-stable die-cast tuners round out the AEGB24's robust features, all adding up to a truly formidable acoustic-electric fretless bass guitar.
All-sapele body delivers standout tone
It’s a widely known fact that bassists are serious about their tone. Luckily, the AEGB24FE is made from sapele to deliver a robust and resonant tone with just a hint of high-end sparkle. Sapele, one of the most popular tonewoods in the Ibanez acoustic lineup, is incredibly similar to mahogany both sonically and visually. The warmth and balance of sapele pairs excellently with singers and songwriters. Whether you’re playing solo, unplugged with your friends, or holding down the groove onstage, the AEGB24FE will be right at home.
Ibanez electronics with built-in tuner
The Ibanez AEGB24FE has an under-saddle pickup that runs into Ibanez’s AEQ-2T preamp. This preamp has a volume knob with bass and treble controls for crafting the perfect plugged-in sound. The simple controls make it easy to dial in the perfect tone. The bassists here at Sweetwater have found that changing batteries is a breeze, too. Simply drop your 9-volt battery into the control plate on the upper bout, and you’re ready to go.
