Ibanez AEGB24FE-MHS Mahogany Sunburst

A modern-designed Ibanez acoustic bass in the spirit of the AEGB series

With the AEGB24FE-MHS, Ibanez applies its "modern tradition" philosophy to the acoustic bass: a sleek AEGB series body, a clean and effective look, and a clearly focused approach on playing comfort and versatility. Designed to perform equally well acoustically or amplified through an amp or PA system, it becomes an excellent choice for musicians seeking a different, inspiring bass that is immediately usable in a musical context.

Who is it for, and in which styles?

This fretless electro-acoustic bass is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists (or highly motivated beginners) who want to explore a more "organic" and expressive touch. It excels in jazz, fusion, world, pop, and ballads, but is also very suitable for unplugged settings and gentle accompaniments where attack and note placement make all the difference.

Sound

The 100% sapele construction (top, back, and sides) promotes a warm response with present mids and a rounded low end, particularly pleasant for fretless playing. The AEG slim body shape offers balanced projection and clear tone while enhancing comfort against the body, especially when seated. When plugged in, the AEGB24FE-MHS relies on an under-saddle pickup and the Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp (2-band EQ Bass/Treble + volume) to quickly adjust your tone during rehearsals or on stage, with the practical advantage of the built-in tuner.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For safe transport, the manufacturer recommends the Ibanez IABB540-BK gig bag. The bass is set up for gauge .045/.065/.080/.100 and D'Addario ECB81M strings, a consistent choice for comfortable playability and even response across the entire range.
