An Ibanez Electro-Acoustic Designed for Plugged-In Playing
This Ibanez fits the spirit of electro-acoustic guitars focused on "practicality and performance": reliable craftsmanship, modern playability thanks to the cutaway, and above all electronics designed to transition from living room to stage without hassle. The SPT preamp with built-in tuner and balanced XLR output meet the needs of guitarists who alternate between acoustic amps, mixing consoles, and recording.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This guitar is particularly aimed at beginner to intermediate musicians who want a versatile electro-acoustic, easy to set up and ready to be amplified. The cutaway and piezo make it comfortable for pop, variety, folk, and accompaniment with both pick and fingers. It is also an excellent choice for rehearsals and live performances where connection reliability and quick tuning make a difference.
Sound
The combination of agathis top, back, and sides emphasizes a balanced and comfortable response, with present mids that support rhythmic playing well. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge provide a softer feel under the fingers and contribute to a defined attack, useful for maintaining clarity in chords. When plugged in, the piezo pickup favors precision and playing dynamics: ideal for standing out in a mix, while benefiting from the control offered by the SPT preamp and its built-in tuner. The Ivorex II nuts (headstock and bridge) help ensure consistent vibration transmission and stable intonation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully utilize the outputs, plan for a 6.35 mm jack cable (to acoustic amp or interface) and/or an XLR cable (to mixing console/stage box). These connections are standard, ensuring compatibility with most sound reinforcement equipment.

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Entry-level acoustic bass praised for excellent value and beautiful finish. Customers highlighted the "fabulous sound with an amp" and appreciated the integrated tuner. Some noted the neck is wide and occasional fret buzz, which can be resolved with setup adjustments. Acoustic volume is limited and may require amplification when playing with guitars. Ships without case.

As a bass player, I chose this acoustic bass to be able to play quietly at home, and release it during rare acoustic concerts. It's a first price that does the job, with a nice look that's above the market. Well, acoustically, there is no extraordinary volume either: you are quickly consumed by the dry guitar. So to play with guitars, a small boost is needed.
The built-in tuner is a nice addition.
Delivered without a cover, don't forget to add it if you need to transport it.
There are 2 hooks for a possible strap.Automatically translated

The bass is beautiful, in terms of sound, it is not extraordinary, but considering the price range, I am not sure that we can find better elsewhere.
Not a fan of strings to the touch, plus it curls a bit.
But I think that with new strings and a neck adjustment, that should work out.
To conclude, I do not regret my purchase.Automatically translated

average quality finish but the quality-price ratio is very interesting. Good sound after adjusting the handle (it was a bit curly) left for me to acquire a good amp to tell you a little more. not disappointed with but first approach with this instrument

Entry-level acoustic bass, but it does the job very well.
Beautiful finishes, the sound is good even if it sometimes screeches, but at this price to start without a headache it's ideal;)
Really happy with my purchase:)Automatically translated
