Solid Low End in a Concert-sized Acoustic Bass
Looking for an affordable acoustic bass that can do it all? The CB-60SCE sounds great in the studio or by the campfire, and it has features normally found on more expensive basses, including a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck with a comfortable easy-to-play profile, and a smooth rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges. Its concert body size and classic tonewoods deliver a solid, full-bodied sound with ample projection for vocal accompaniment, solo work, and other unplugged applications. But when plugged in, the CB-60SCE’s Fishman Classic Design electronics superbly transmit this bass’s rich tone to a DAW or FOH board.
Classic tonewoods generate classic tone
Spruce is highly valued for guitar tops — and for good reason. This variety of stiff but elastic softwood is both gorgeous and equally suited to aggressive flatpicking and fingerpicking styles of play. The CB-60SCE features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, producing warm, balanced tones from low to high. With its traditional concert body cutaway and rosewood fingerboard, the CB-60SCE is a bass that just looks and plays great.
Fishman electronics suit the stage or studio
For direct-out performance or recording, the CB-60SCE features Fishman’s flexible Classic Design preamp/pickup system. You get a volume control, plus bass and treble knobs for dialing in well-balanced tone and a built-in tuner that works well in bright sunlight or dimly lit venues. The Fishman Classic Design preamp is a faithful steward of your sound and is made to deliver long-lasting, reliable performance.
