2020s Ibanez PNB-14E Acoustic/Electric Bass Guitar

Overview: This small, parlor-guitar-sized Ibanez acoustic bass guitar seems to be going after the market made by Gold Tone's M-Bass and Taylor's GS Mini Bass. I like all these models because they're fun, couch-potato instruments that can immediately be put to gigging use if need be, and this all-ply Ibanez offering is a friendly entry into the segment. Does it sound great? Well, no, but it sounds perfectly fine with a mic stuck in front of it. It's plenty loud-enough to practice on unplugged and still enjoy it. Plugged-in it sounds like... acoustic bass guitar! So a win, there! The video clip included here shows only how it sounds in front of a mic with older, 100w-45w or so nickel strings on it.

Repairs included: I just needed to give it a quick setup and some cleaning. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
