Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ibanez’s AEB105E is a right-handed, five-string acoustic-electric bass built around a single-cutaway body with a spruce top and gloss natural finish. Its Fishman Sonicore pickup and AEQ-SP2 preamp put 3-band EQ, an onboard tuner, and both 1/4-inch and XLR outputs at the player’s disposal. The 32-inch scale, 22-fret layout, Purpleheart fingerboard and bridge, maple neck, and chrome die-cast tuners round out a bass prepared for plugged-in use as well as acoustic playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players needing an acoustic-electric five-string bass with both 1/4-inch and XLR output connections.
- Situations where discreet onboard tuning and 3-band preamp EQ adjustments are useful.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a four-string bass.
- Left-handed players.
