Wonderful Acoustic-electric Bass from Fender

The Fender CB-60SCE is an incredibly affordable, beautifully appointed acoustic bass that sounds great in the studio or by the campfire. It features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck with an easy-to-play profile, and a smooth walnut 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. When you are ready to plug in, the CB-60SCE's Fishman Classic Design electronics translate rich bass tone to a DAW or FOH board.

Classic tonewoods generate classic tone

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 walnut fingerboard, the CB-60SCE is a bass that just looks and plays great. Guitarists here at Sweetwater have embraced the CB-60SCE and continue to trumpet it as a great instrument.

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, 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.

  • Solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides look great and emit rich tones

Nice case for this beauty!

I read the reviews of some people who'd also a Fender CB-60 but did'nt find the right case for it.
Well, I also own a Hagstrom Viking bass and for that one I have the Hagstrom "Hagbag". Well, the Fender fits perfectly in it!
Music background: Blues, Rythm&Blues, now playing bass in the band of Roland van Beeck (Senior Voice Belgium winner 2020).

Fender spruce top acoustic bass guitar

To say that the build quality on this base is flawless is not an exaggeration. Every detail has been managed with care. The string height was also set up well, the octaves pitch perfect, snd the tuning machines and knobs were very high quality. Of all the basses I own, I like looking at and playing this one the best. Great for practicing without an amp, but you will need an amp to add any kind of punch to even an acoustic guitar group. I do t see how they can make a work of art like this for this price!
Music background: Gigging, retired player

It’s a keeper

I just got this a few weeks ago and so far I love it. Sitting around the house to be able to just grab and go is a huge plus for me.
Plus the bronze strings are easier on my fingers. And it's lighter than my Fender Jazz. So win win.
Music background: 50+ years of playing.

Better than expected

Great bass for just about anything. New at this and I feel this is the perfect guitar for my level now and the time to come. Very happy! Thnx Sweetwater.
Music background: Collect percussion instruments. These r the next step.

This is a beauty!

I love this acoustic bass. i can go on and on about what I like but I'll simplify it and just say this guitar is easy to play, the neck is smooth. It has plenty of sound when playing acoustic. When I amp it up, this baby sings, and resonates and has a lot of sustain. Just an all-around great instrument. And the onboard electronics and tuner are top notch. Thanks Jacob Stutzman and the great team at Sweetwater!

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them!
