Semi-acoustic E-Bass with agile playing characteristics and sonorous sound
The Ibanez Artcore AGB200-BKF Black Flat is built in classic semi-acoustic construction with Shortscale scale length and accordingly convinces with a particularly warm vintage sound, which is ideally suited for the tradition-conscious styles of blues, rock and R'n'B. In addition to the semi-acoustic body made of laminated basswood, the four-stringer has a glued Nyatoh maple neck, whose rounded "AGB4" profile fits comfortably in the hand. At the bass amplifier also ClassicEliteBass humbucker and a classic passive electrics provide adequate vintage sounds with sonorous low end. High-quality Hardware in the form of a Gibraltar III Bass bridge including matching Quik Change III Tailpiece and encapsulated die-cast tuners completes the equipment of the Artcore AGB200-BKF Black Flat Semi-Hollow Bass from Ibanez.
The Ibanez Artcore AGB200-BKF Black Flat Semi Hollow Bass with Shortscale scale convinces with a sonorous vintage sound and buttery smooth playing characteristics.
The wide cutaway on the body of the AGB200 semi-acoustic bass facilitates access to the high registers of the glued neck.
Traditional Semi-Hollow Construction
The extremely traditional construction of the Artcore AGB200 Semi HollowBass promises agile playing characteristics and a sonorous sound with a resonant acoustic touch, without the Bass being prone to feedback at high volumes. While the short 30.3" scale length (770 mm) in combination with the laminated basswood body stabilized by a centre block creates the basis for a rich, low-frequency sound, it provides buttery smooth playing characteristics in combination with the rounded but not too powerful "AGB4" profile of the Nyatoh maple neck. Thanks to the large cutaway, the high registers of the 22-fret walnut fingerboard are also easily accessible.
Two Ibanez Classic Elite bass pickups with classic passive circuitry provide authentic vintage sounds with sonorous character on the bass amp.
Classic EliteBass pickup with passive circuitry
To elicit authentic vintage tones from the bass amp, Ibanez equips the AGB200 Semi HollowBass with Classic EliteBass pickups in the neck and bridge positions. The traditionally built bass pickups not only surprise with an astonishingly high output but in combination with the short scale length deliver an extremely classic bass tone with a sonorous, spacious low end and well-measured punch that makes every note played palpable in the pit of your stomach. Besides the 3-way switch for pickup selection, the classic passive circuit of the semi-acoustic bass guitar offers general volume and tone pots for precise adjustment of the personal Bass sound.
Ibanez die-cast tuners with closed case guarantee high tuning stability of the AGB200 Semi-Hollow Bass.
Indestructible hardware
Last but not least, Ibanez completes the Artcore AGB200-BKF Black Flat Semi HollowBass with high-quality attachments that, despite their classic look, boast contemporary functionality. The Quik Change III Bass tailpiece, into which the strings are conveniently hooked from above for a quick change, guides the strings over the solidly built Gibraltar III Bass bridge, which not only supports the lively sound of the semi-acoustic E-Bass, but also guarantees exact intonation and comfortably playable string action. At the headstock, encapsulated Ibanez die-cast tuners also keep the Bass securely in the correct tuning.
