Ibanez PNB14E-OPN Parlor Body Acoustic Bass Mahogany Open Pore

Ibanez PNB14E-OPN, Parlor Body Acoustic Bass, Mahogany Top, Back and Sides, Open Pore Finish

With the rise in popularity of modern folk music and the “wandering troubador” in recent years, the classic Parlor-style guitar shape/size has seen a resurgence with guitarists the world over. These smaller bodied instruments are ideal for buskers, guitarists with a smaller frame, or situations where transporting a bulkier instrument would cause too much of an inconvenience, and now, thanks to Ibanez, they’re available in a bass guitar equivalent!

Budget-Friendly, Smaller Body Acoustic Bass

Ibanez’s PNB14E-OPN is new to 2018, and is a Parlor-style acoustic bass with a 12-fret neck join. Featuring a Mahogany top, back and Sides, Open Pore Natural finish, smooth Mahogany neck, Laurel fretboard, Ibanez Undersaddle pickup, and a whole host of goodies, this bass would make a wonderful addition to any collection, and can be yours for a price that’s affordable for all.

Small Body, Big Sound

On the PNB14E-OPN, Ibanez have opted for an all-Mahogany construction. The rich, harmonic overtones produced by the Mahogany are perfectly accentuated by the Open Pore finish, delivering a tone that is warm, soft, and deep, making it perfect for an acoustic bass. In addition to this, there’s an undersddle pickup and onboard preamp, allowing you to amplify your sound via an acoustic amp or even a mixing desk!

Put simply: this bass would be perfect in a variety of live settings, whether you’re rehearsing at home, busking, or playing in a well-amplified venue.
