Description

Ibanez built the AEB10EDVS as part of its AEB Series acoustic bass line, positioning it as an amplification-ready acoustic bass with an onboard Fishman Sonicore pickup and Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp. The preamp included an onboard tuner and offered both a balanced XLR and a 1/4" output, making the instrument suitable for direct connection to a mixing board or a dedicated amplifier.

The body featured a spruce top with sapele back and sides, and the AEB body profile accommodated a 22-fret purpleheart fretboard on an okoume neck. The purpleheart bridge carried black bridge pins with white dot inlays, matching the white dot fretboard inlays and abalone soundhole rosette. Hardware consisted of chrome die-cast tuners, plastic nut and saddle, and a 43mm nut width. The scale measured 812.8mm, with a neck radius of 400mmR and string spacing of 19mm at the bridge. Factory stringing followed a standard 4-string E–A–D–G arrangement with gauges .040/.060/.075/.095.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the purpleheart bridge saddle, bridge pins, or Fishman Sonicore pickup — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with acoustic bass instruments to ensure correct fit and setup.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
