Experience the enveloping warmth of a hollow-body instrument with the Ibanez Artcore AFB200 TKS - Bass Guitar in Transparent Black Sunburst from the Artcore Bass series.

These instruments capitalize on the inherent tonal roundness that emerges from a short scale bass (30.3” scale), and couples that with broad and open acoustic voice. They serve as the ideal solution for the electric bassist seeking a mellower, upright-like sound for more laid-back performances.

Artcore
Ibanez first introduced Artcore back in 2002 and it has remained a workhorse hollow-body guitar for musicians all over the world ever since. The Artcore's combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of devoted fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz. Artcore offers musicians the purity of an old school jazz-box or a hybrid semi-hollow rocker. The line is highly respected for its tone, sustain and, expressive playability.
