General
This appealing, naturally finshed electro-acoustic bass guitar is the Ibanez PCBE12MH-OPN (Open Pore Natural). It has a very striking Open Pore finish which is so thin that you can still feel the texture of the wood. Plus, it allows the top to vibrate more freely for a more natural sound. Another important feature is the elegant Grand Concert model body (with matching short neck) that's easy to hold because of its compact size and produces a more direct sound that's rich in mid-tones.
The Mahogany Build of the PCBE12MH-OPN
The MH in the product number PCBE12MH-OPN stands for mahogany and it really shows. Both the body and the neck are made of entirely of mahogany, giving this acoustic bass its striking looks. Moreover, this type of wood guarantees a depth sound that retains enough brightness to be heard in the mix. Amplification is a piece of cake. Just connect a cable with jack plug. With the treble and bass controls on the pre-amp, you can dial in your amplified tonal colour and it also has a built-in tuner.

I really like the matt finish and the neck plays really nicely.
Im also very impressed with the intonation - up at the 12th fret and beyond, the tuning remains spot on.
The sound is what Id expect - perfectly adequate but not top notch. However, its good enough that I will definitely be trying it live to see how it goes. In my home studio, some eq boost at the low end really helped.
At this price point, I couldnt be more impressed.

Voor deze prijs is het een prima bas. Ik vind de kleurstelling mooi en door het formaat en akoestische volume trek je hem makkelijk van de muur om even thuis te oefenen zonder de buren geluidsoverlast te bezorgen.
Dat akoestische volume is ook gelijk zijn nadeel. De bas is zeker niet luid genoeg om met een akoestische gitaar samen te jammen. Versterkt klinkt de basgitaar prima.
Qua bespeelbaarheid is deze vergeleken met andere akoestische bassen licht om te spelen, maar de hals is zeker niet zo comfortabel als mijn Fender P-bas bijvoorbeeld. De hoeken van de frets zijn, zoals andere reviews al aangaven niet perfect afgewerkt en een akoestische bas is altijd wat harder werken, deze ook. Voor deze prijs vind ik de bespeelbaarheid echter prima ;).
Al met al ben ik er heel blij mee. Het is een leuke bas voor 'erbij'. Om thuis nummers uit te zoeken of als je, net zoals ik, folklore muziek speelt en naast je contrabas een basgitaar extra mee wilt nemen voor bepaalde songs.

Als je niet veel geld wilt/kan uitgeven is dit een zeer goede aankoop.

Aan Bax heeft het niet gelegen, maar deze bas is geen aanrader.
