Ibanez PNB14E-OPN Acoustic Bass

Started playing bass about a year ago but being quite a small person, I always struggled with a full size bass. At an open mic one evening, I played one of these and I knew straight away that I had to have one.
Not that loud acoustically (although OK for a quite jam) but when plugged in, volume and tone are both excellent!
It is a very tactile and playable instrument and the build quality is superb, far exceeding expectations for the bargain price, It even has an on-board tuner!
I am really please with this bass

Very beautiful bass for its wood and finish.
The sound is well defined and louder than larger basses. It can be played unplugged easily, I just missed a control for the mids, even so it is very pleasing. It seems very robust and the electronics ok.
As a negative, I highlight that there are few string options on the market, in fact only from Daddario, as far as I know, which makes it expensive here in Brazil.
It could also have better access to the 14th fret.
Recommended product.

This is by far my favourite bass, I’ve searched everywhere for an acoustic bass that is small enough for me without needing orangutan length arms to play! Sounds great acoustically for in the house and even better amped up! Gigged loads with this and I love it!

Fantastic short scale acoustic bass.
