Big Value in a Whole Hog A/E Bass

Looking for a quality 4-string acoustic-electric bass that won't break the bank? Sweetwater's got your axe! The Ibanez PCBE12MH is all about the warmth of sapele. With its sapele top, back, and sides, this instrument projects warm, balanced tone that's in its element at home, onstage, or in the studio. And when you plug in onstage, the onboard Ibanez electronics deliver that same great tone. You'll appreciate the way the huggable grand concert body cradles comfortably when you're playing sitting down. The Ibanez PCBE12MH rocks classy looks, great sound and playability, and a tiny price tag. What's not to love?

Fine acoustic bass!

Very happy with the quality of this instrument & the massive tone & clear fat sound! Haven't had a chance to play it with other acoustic instruments without amps to confirm that it will keep up with guitars or Mando's etc. I'm confident that it is possible to get enough volume to keep up.

Easy bass to play.

Can't beat the price. Plays super easy. Strings that come with it really suck. Sounds way better with bronze strings. Sounds good in the room (with different strings ) but sounds like a 5 dollar kids toy plugged in so if you want to record with it you'll have to mic it up instead of plugging it into your recording system.

Does fine.

Tossed some bronze strings on it. Sounds great. Just wanted something I could grab and just walk around to play. Does just that. Sounds good plugged into amp as well. The built in tuner a bonus. Would buy again if I smash it.

Bang for your buck!

Great bass for the money. It plays well and sounds really good! The lightweight design makes for easy and comfortable playing. The tuner is a bit sensitive but definitely convenient to have. I just used this bass in the studio and it produced a great sound.
