No, they're not plastic...tuning pegs are one of the easiest mods to make to any bass though. A tuning peg would rarely stop me from buying a bass I otherwise liked.

Might have to pick one of these up. I really like my AGB200 and have been thinking of buying a 5er anyway.

How much experience do you have with hollow and semi-hollow body basses? My AGB140 is considerably larger than my Washburn Taurus, but it weighs a lot less. I could understand where someone who is very accustomed to the usual heft of most bass guitars would find one that feels so much lighter than expected and think it is cheap.

It looks like Ibanez is totally revamping the artcore series of basses.
