I bought this from a friend for a project that has not materialized. I would rate the HSC and the bass excellent to mint except for one tiny chip in the paint about the size of a pencil tip. The bass plays great and sounds even better. Here is a excerpt from a Ibanez dealer:
This beautiful 4-string bass delivers great tones, whether you're plucking unplugged or plugging into its built-in Fishman electronics. You can dial in an incredible range of bass sounds, with this system's easy-to-use controls. Ibanez built the AEB10E from the ground up to perform; its spruce top/mahogany body construction gives you excellent projection, plenty of detail, and incredible tonal balance. The AEB10E is very comfortable to play too!
