The Affirma bass has its roots in the early '90s when Ibanez ventured into the high-end boutique bass market. It all begins with a compact, lightweight body crafted by Swiss luthier Rolf Spuler, resulting in an instrument characterized by its elegant appearance and sleek contours. Addressing the discerning needs of musicians seeking a responsive electric bass with natural sound and broad dynamic range for lengthy performances, the Ibanez Premium Affirma AFR5WAP 5-string impresses not only with its exceptional sound but also with its striking aesthetic appeal.
In 2019, Ibanez introduces modern enhancements to the Affirma bass, elevating its performance and aesthetics. The stunningly figured walnut body ensures unparalleled tonal clarity and note articulation. Reinforced with two graphite rods, the 3-piece maple neck is jointed to half of the body in a "half-neck-through" construction method, optimizing body vibration and sustain. Complementing this, the ebony fingerboard offers a precise, bright response. The neck-butt adjustment feature enables easy neck adjustments without the need to loosen the strings, while a specially grooved thumb rest on the body provides ample plucking area.
The Premium Affirma boasts an AeroSilk MR5 bridge, featuring unique saddles designed to synergize with integrated piezo pickups, enhancing the acoustic double bass-like qualities of the sound. With isolated bridges for each string, the MR5 bridge allows for a wide intonation adjustment range, securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer. The strategically placed Bartolini X55JX split single-coil pickup delivers deep, punchy tones. Combined with the piezo and magnetic pickups, along with a 2-band EQ, bassists have the flexibility to sculpt their ideal tone swiftly for any performance or recording session.
