Ibanez PNB14E Parlour Electro Acoustic Bass, Open Pore Natural Overview
PNB14E
The PNB is a short-scale acoustic bass guitar that utilizes a parlor body shape. This compact instrument is ideal for situations such as playing on the couch, outdoors, or during informal occasions. However, the PNB is also a valuable on-stage tool. With a 25-inch short scale similar in feel to a regular guitar, it is more comfortable for both guitarists and electric bassists to play than a full-size acoustic bass. The shorter scale and compact parlor body also make it a more user-friendly platform for beginners. Despite its compact body size, the PNB has an impressively powerful acoustic volume.
