The Ibanez PCBE12 will add depth to your mix. It will inject all those glistening, crystal-clear sonic qualities acoustic players dream of. And it will ensure every note you play rings out beautifully, singing with the richness and shimmering top end of the spruce and sapele build. It's an acoustic bass with Ibanez's exquisite craftsmanship flowing through its veins.
 
Fret with complete effortlessness on the New Zealand pine fretboard, its lusciously smooth surface lends itself to easy playing and seamless sound. And when you've nailed those techniques, take your acoustic sound to new heights with the Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp. With bass, treble, and volume controls, you can shape the highs and lows of your tone and deliver a performance that is unmistakeably you.
Pierce through the mix
Expertly crafted from sapele, the back and sides of this acoustic bass exude pure sonic excellence. You'll have a rich midrange and a crystal-clear top end carrying every note, adding both depth and sparkle to your mix. Sapele's versatility is similar to that of mahogany, lending itself to many different playing styles and genres. Better still, the stunning spruce top produces plenty of volume and even more articulation across the whole frequency range. Sapele and spruce - it's a match made in heaven.
Amplify your tone
The PCBE12 is equipped with Ibanez AEQ-2T electronics, allowing you to take to the stage or step in the studio with confidence. Achieve an exquisite, amplified tone with glistening clarity, and sculpt it with precision via the bass and treble controls. Better still, there is a built-in tuner, so you can be sure to have immaculate sound every time.
