Ibanez Artcore AFB200 hollow body bass guitar



Bought this one last year and finally had a chance to play it a bit more.
It's a short scale bass with a fully hollow body. Thicker body than my Gretsch and with a deeper acoustic sound. Pickups aren't great, but the bridge pickup seems pretty usable. I'd like to change all the electronics in it for more flexibility. As it is, it has a pickup selector switch (which I don't like) and volume and tone. Maybe some ThunderTron pickups from TV Jones would improve the sound.. Don't know if they'd fit though.
All in all, it's fun to play and can walk some badass jazz.
