Description
Acoustic basses can feel like an afterthought — thin-sounding, hard to fret, awkward to plug in. The CB-60SCE fixes that. Fender built it on their Classic Design platform with a concert-sized body that gives low notes room to actually develop, instead of collapsing into mud.
- Concert Bass body shape for balanced, articulate low end
- Solid spruce top with scalloped “X”-bracing
- Mahogany back and sides
- Slim-taper neck with rolled fingerboard edges for fast, comfortable fretting
- Fishman Classic Design pickup/preamp system
The neck is the same easy-playing profile found across the Classic Design line, so if you’re coming from an electric bass, your hands won’t have to relearn anything. Rolled fingerboard edges mean long practice sessions and late-night writing don’t turn into a hand cramp session.
Where this bass earns its keep is versatility. Play it unplugged for songwriting, tracking, or a quiet living-room session, and the spruce-top/mahogany combo gives you a warm, woody low end with real definition. Need volume? The onboard Fishman electronics plug straight into an amp or PA and hold their character at stage level, no separate DI or pickup swap required.
For bassists who want an acoustic instrument that behaves like a real gigging tool — not a novelty — the CB-60SCE covers unplugged writing sessions and plugged-in performances with the same instrument.
