Description

Ibanez produced the AFB200TKS as part of its AFB Series, positioning it as a short-scale semi-hollow electric bass. The model sat within a line designed around a fully acoustic-style body format adapted for electric bass use, with a set-in neck construction and passive electronics.

The three-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck is joined to a Linden body via a set-in joint and carries a bound Walnut fretboard with white dot inlays across 22 medium frets. The nut width measures 42mm, widening to 61mm at the 22nd fret, with a neck thickness of 21.5mm at the first fret and 24mm at the ninth; the fretboard radius is 400mmR. The 770mm/30.3" short scale is paired with a 19mm string spacing at the ART-1 wooden bridge, anchored by an FBT40 tailpiece. Passive Classic Elite Bass pickups occupy the neck and bridge positions, and all hardware is finished in chrome. The instrument ships factory-tuned E–A–D–G with a .050/.070/.085/.105 string set.

Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance, or assistance sourcing a compatible wooden bridge, tailpiece, or replacement passive pickup should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with short-scale semi-hollow basses.

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.

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.
