The Ibanez AFB200 hollowbody 4-string electric bass guitar gives you the feel of an electric bass with the acoustic tone of a hollowbody. Part of Ibanez's Artcore Bass series, this set-neck bass has an all-linden body with a 3-piece maple/nyatoh neck and bound walnut fretboard. You'll enjoy the warm and full sound you get from the hollowbody and dual Classic Elite humbucking pickups. The AFB200 is suited for any style of music that you play, and with its classy looks, you can use it everywhere from swanky corporate gigs to weddings to hole-in-the-wall bars. Find that big, warm, acoustic-like tone you have been looking for with the Ibanez AFB200 hollowbody bass guitar.





Acoustic body with linden top, back, and sides provides a bright and naturally expressive tone





There's no substitute for the mellow and naturally resonant sound of an electric bass with an acoustic body. Ibanez built their AFB200 hollowbody bass to capture the fat warmth of a classic hollowbody, which is why they built it with an all-laminate linden body. Whether you're playing rockabilly, blues, jazz, or any number of modern styles, you're going to love the character the AFB200 hollowbody bass guitar brings to your music.





Humbucking pickups deliver punchy bass





Ibanez basses are used in every style of music from metal to rock to jazz and country. The versatile pickups in the AFB200 give you warm, full tones that are ideal for any gig. These pickups complement the hollowbody design perfectly with extra output and punch. Bassists at Sweetwater are sure you'll be impressed with the sound of this unique bass.





A neck designed for comfort and performance





The slightly shorter 30" scale of the Ibanez AFB200 is extremely comfortable to play. A set maple/nyatoh neck topped with a walnut fretboard feels great thanks to its Artcore Bass neck profile. The 15.75" radius makes the entire fingerboard easy to reach, and the cutaway body design lets you access the upper fretboard without any issues. There's no question about it, the Ibanez AFB200 was made to be played.
