2000s Ibanez Artcore AGB140 Semihollow Electric Bass Guitar
The Ibanez Artcore series has always been well-built. This one certainly is and it takes in a variety of "vintage" vibes in its design -- the body is a little bit of a Les Paul or Gretsch-like in shape and coloration, Gibson-like in its semihollow build, the neck is more on the hefty side for a modern instrument and reminds me a little of old Harmony and Kay basses, and the hardware is all heavy-duty and practical. It looks like this instrument was played a bunch in its time and it has a good, tight, punchy, defined sound so I can see why.
Looks-wise it can mix with any crowd save heavier music -- which is probably the intent.
