Modern tonewood combination produces superior tone
The Ibanez PCBE12 Acoustic-electric bass has a laminated spruce top that produces a wide-open tone with harmonic complexity. This top is mated to a sapele back and sides. Sapele is an environmentally conscious tonewood that closely resembles mahogany visually and tonally. The sapele back and sides lend a tone that has the rich midrange boost of mahogany without becoming muddy under hard picking. The maple neck and nandu fingerboard add extra brightness. When you combine all the tonewoods together this bass has a great, open tone and defined attack.
Ibanez preamp with built-in tuner
The Ibanez PCBE12 Acoustic-electric bass has an under-saddle pickup that runs into Ibanez’s AEQ-2T preamp. This preamp has a volume control and bass and treble controls for crafting the perfect plugged-in sound. Simply drop your 9-volt battery into the control plate on the upper bout, and you’re ready to rock.
