Ibanez AGB200-BKF Artcore Hollowbody Short-Scale Bass Guitar in Black Flat

The Ibanez AGB200-BKF is a semi-hollowbody bass guitar designed to offer classic vintage aesthetics with modern playability. It features the distinctive Artcore body shape, constructed from linden wood for the top, back, and sides, finished in a satin polyurethane black flat. This design provides the resonant, warm tone characteristic of hollowbody instruments while being more feedback-resistant than fully hollow designs. The set-in neck is made from a 3-piece nyatoh and maple construction with a gloss polyurethane finish, contributing to stability and a smooth playing feel. Key features include a short 30.3-inch (770 mm) scale length, which reduces string tension and makes the instrument more comfortable to play, particularly for those with smaller hands or players transitioning from guitar. The walnut fingerboard has a 400mm radius and 22 medium frets with simple white dot inlays. It is equipped with a pair of passive Ibanez Classic Elite bass pickups (neck and bridge), controlled by a single volume knob, a single tone knob, and a 3-way toggle switch for pickup selection. Hardware includes a Gibraltar III bass bridge, Quik Change III tailpiece for easy string changes, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines. This bass is well-suited for players seeking a lightweight, comfortable instrument with a vintage-inspired look and versatile electric bass tones. The semi-hollow construction makes it ideal for studio work, jazz, blues, and classic rock genres where a warm, articulate low-end is desired. It comes strung with 50-105 gauge strings and is factory-tuned to standard bass tuning (E-A-D-G). The combination of practical short-scale design and classic hollowbody styling makes it a compelling choice for both intermediate players and seasoned bassists looking for a distinctive instrument.
