Ibanez Artcore Vintage AFBV200A-TCL
Product no: 9000-0023-6519 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Ibanez AFBV200A-TCL is a four-string bass guitar with an attractive Tobacco Burst Low Gloss finish that looks like it has spent a few years on the road. This hollow-body bass from the Artcore Vintage series is made of maple and features an arched top with two f-holes. Its strings run along a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard towards a wooden ART-1 bridge that isn't secured to the top - the same construction you'd find on an old vintage bass. This instrument's sound is just as authentic as its looks; two Classic Elite humbuckers produce that full, warm vintage tone.

Ibanez Artcore Vintage series

Bass players are becoming increasingly interested in vintage instruments that show the tell-tale signs of having been around for a while. Bass guitars like that are usually priceless, however, and even reliced instruments can cost a lot of money. It's no wonder then, that Ibanez has introduced the Artcore Vintage series, a line of reliced guitars with affordable price tags. During the Artcore Vintage process, not only the body is treated to give it a weathered look, the hardware is tackled as well.
