3.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For, August 18, 2011
This review is from: Ibanez AEB5E Acoutsic Electric Bass Black
It's amazing what $200 can buy. This AEB5E is very playable. The neck is well intonated, as least this one is. Very pretty instrument.

I received this today so any imperfections or flaws I mention are not of my making.

Only upon closer inspection with a strong lamp did I find a number of anomalies.

1. The most obvious is the relative spacing of G string from the other strings. It's about 1/16" further spaced from the D string. I tried to re-seat the string but no luck.

2. The E string bridge peg protrudes up from the bridge approximately 1/8". Again, I tried to re-seat the string with no luck.

3. Crapes, scratches and wood imperfections abound.

4. The tuning machines are poorly chromed and scuffed.

An acoustic bass with electronics at this price, can't be perfect. Corners must be cut. But for a reasonable price you get a nice, playable acoustic bass that looks swell, plays nicely and sounds like... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, May 20, 2011
This review is from: Ibanez AEB5E Acoutsic Electric Bass Black
I just got one of these acoustic/electric bass guitars. I'm a six-string guitarist and this is my first bass. The finish is very nice for the price, especially the neck, which feels very good to me.

The sound this thing makes is great. Very warm and "woody," which is what I wanted. I've plugged it in, and electrified, it sounds like I expected it would (good). The on-board gain caused some feedback if I pushed it up too high, but it sounded over-boosted at that setting anyway. The tone sliders are dead silent and allow me to add some brightness for more of a Jazz Bass sound, or go muddy and bassy at the other end.

But I bought this for acoustic playing, and it's great for that. I cannot see the point in paying more for something else.
