Ibanez EWB20SMFE Fretless Acoustic/Electric Bass 2008-2016

From the Musician's Friend listing:

Sounds great and looks fantastic. Made entirely from exotic spalted maple wood, the Ibanez EBW20SMFE bass guitar is a one-of-a-kind beauty. But looks aren't everything. With a Fishman Sonic pickup and SST pre-amp with onboard tuner you'll reap its bright, tonal rewards too.

The idea of a bass guitar made from wood that has begun to decay might scare you away, but never fear, the wood is sound, and the sound is clear. The unique lines and figuring along this acoustic-electric, fretless bass is the result of the spalted maple that makes up the body. In nature, a fungus attacks the spalted maple, and as it begins to decay, natural, artistic designs are formed. Before the wood becomes too brittle for use, Ibanez designers save these natural wonders, and reshape them into these beautiful guitars. The sound quality you'll get is similar to other maple bodied basses, but the look is like nothing else.

Thanks for viewing! I'm selling this extremely rare Ibanez fretless acoustic bass. The year listed is a guess. I have no idea when it was made. As of this posting, I was not able to find another one listed anywhere. The Ibanez website has zero info on it. A shame, because this is a really nice acoustic bass and plays effortlessly. I'm willing to part with it because I am a guitar player first, and I also own a Fender Precision fretless bass. I have too many fretless basses that I don't play! Includes a hard shell TKL case. This is apparently the only one available on the entire internet!
