  • Artcore AGB 200



    In terms of hollowbody basses, the Artcore AGB 200 stands apart from its brethren - for example, the Gretsch White Falcon - in that the Artcore is a 30" scale hollowbody.

    For those who are looking for something a bit smaller than the imposing Falcon, the Artcore might be your axe!

    From the Ibanez website:

    The Artcore Bass series was designed for players that are used to solid body basses but want the acoustic tone of a hollow body. The 30” scale neck increases playing comfort and the acoustic body widens the palette of sounds at your disposal.

    And if you want a nice case to haul your new baby to and fro...



    And how does she sound? Have a look at the Artcore as she's put through her paces.



    FYI - the axe goes for about $500.00 and that nice blue-lined case will run you about $125.00. Nice.

      I really like hollowbody and semi-hollow body basses. I tried one of these Artcores at a shop in the town where my dad lives and it was really nice. Didn't get one, though, because I really don'tneed another bass. It was really hard to resist the temptation though.

      That bass had a really round, warm tone to it. It probably wouldn't be the best choice for me since I'm about 6'2", but it's all about the sound, right?

      He says it has flatwound strings, too. That's part of why it sounds so warm...
