Detail 01
24.7-inch scale length
Keeps the instrument's scale shorter than a standard long-scale bass.

Independent shopping perspective
Compact in format but built as a full acoustic-electric bass, the PNB14E pairs a parlor body with a 24.7-inch scale for a more compact playing footprint. Its African mahogany top, back and sides are matched with an open-pore finish. Plug in through the Ibanez under-saddle pickup and AEQ-SP2 preamp, then use the onboard 2-band EQ and digital tuner to shape the amplified signal and check tuning without adding a separate tuner.
