Frequently Asked Questions
The parlor body size naturally results in less overall volume and bass response than a larger bass, but the mahogany top still provides a pleasing warmth and clarity.
The matte finish provides a surprisingly grippy feel, making it comfortable for players of all hand sizes and styles – it’s a definite plus.
The Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp's tuner is generally reliable for quick adjustments, though it's always a good idea to double-check with a separate tuner for critical gigs.
