Ibanez PNB14E Performance Series Acoustic-Electric Bass - Open Pore Natural

Ibanez PNB14E Performance Series Acoustic-Electric Bass - Open Pore Natural

The PNB is a short scale acoustic bass guitar that utilizes a parlor body shape. This compact instrument is ideal for situations such as playing on the couch, outdoors, as well as more informal occasions. However the PNB is also a valuable on stage tool. Since the 25in short scale is similar in feel to a regular guitar, it is more comfortable for both guitarists and electric bassists to play than a full size acoustic bass. The shorter scale and compact parlor body also make it a more user friendly platform for beginners. Despite the compact body size, the PNB has an impressively powerful acoustic volume.


Features:

• Maple neck: The Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character.
• Laurel fretboard: The Laurel fretboard provides a rich and warm tone.
• Okoume top: Okoume top delivers a warm, full tone.
• Okoume back and sides: The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.
• Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup: The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
• Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp w/Onboard tuner: AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.
• Laurel bridge: The Laurel bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.
