Electroacoustic Bass Guitar Fender Classic CB-60SCE

The Fender Classic CB-60SCE is a four-string electro-acoustic bass that can be used for acoustic performances or plugged into an amplifier.

The Fender Classic CB-60SCE bass is a versatile instrument for musicians who play in more intimate settings in spaces of all sizes. The concert-style body and cutaway for access to the high frets, combined with a Fishman system, allow it to transition from an acoustic session to a rehearsal or amplified performance.

The solid spruce top rests on an X-bracing structure, while the back and sides are laminated mahogany. This combination defines the body construction, with a gloss black finish and matching cleat guard. The concert shape maintains relatively contained proportions, and the cutaway facilitates closer hand access to higher notes.

The mahogany neck features the Fender Easy-to-Play profile, with rounded fingerboard edges for greater comfort. The rosewood fingerboard has 22 vintage-style frets, and the nut measures 43 mm. These are relevant details for those who alternate between accompaniment lines, position changes, and small melodic passages. The double-action soundpost allows for adjusting the neck curvature, facilitating instrument adjustments for better performance.

The rosewood bridge, tuning pegs, and chrome hardware complete this very affordable set with simple but very well-crafted finishes.

When they need amplification, the Fishman CD preamp integrates the bass into a stage or recording setup. This allows them to maintain the same instrument in acoustic and amplified contexts, without relying exclusively on the natural volume of the cabinet.

Unlike a solid-body electric bass, an acoustic bass produces sound through the vibration of the top and soundbox. While in small spaces and when accompanying other acoustic instruments it can be unplugged, in larger spaces or with other amplified instruments, the possibility of connecting the CB-60SCE to a sound system becomes especially useful.

The CB-60SCE is especially well-suited for acoustic rehearsals, vocal accompaniment, guitar playing, and songwriting sessions. But above all, it's an instrument that connects you to the natural pulse of your music, organically and with the quality of one of the most important brands in the music industry.
