Ibanez PCBE12MH-OPN Acoustic Bass, (Used)

The Ibanez PCBE12MH-OPN Acoustic Bass features a concert-bass body with a mahogany top, back, and sides finished in open-pore natural, enhancing resonance and delivering a warm, woody acoustic character. Its slim mahogany neck has a comfortable profile suited to bass playing, paired with a walnut fingerboard that includes dot inlays and 20 frets. The scale length is long for acoustic bass design (typically around 34″), providing a familiar feel and string tension for electric bassists transitioning to an acoustic format.

This model is equipped with Ibanez’s proprietary electronics system, which includes a built-in undersaddle pickup and onboard preamp tailored for acoustic bass frequencies. Controls usually include volume, tone shaping, and a tuner, allowing the player to dial in a balanced amplified acoustic sound for live performance or recording. The preamp’s voicing is designed to retain the natural low-end while providing clarity and presence when plugged into an amp or PA.

Hardware includes a fixed bridge with a compensated saddle to support accurate intonation, chrome-plated tuners for stable tuning, and a soundhole rosette that complements the open-pore finish. The body’s slightly smaller profile compared with dreadnought acoustic basses makes the PCBE12MH-OPN comfortable to play while still delivering deep, full acoustic tones characteristic of acoustic bass guitars.
