Great Acoustic-electric Bass from Guild
For the gigging acoustic bass guitarist in need of volume and great tone, Guild offers the B-240E Jumbo acoustic-electric bass. The B-240E features a solid Sitka spruce top and layered mahogany back and sides for top-notch acoustic tone plugged or unplugged. The B-240E offers a fast-response pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, as well as a slim C-shape mahogany neck profile that feels immediately comfortable in your hands, offering great playability. Finally, a Fishman Sonitone Bass pickup system kicks out gorgeous, deep, low-end tone when plugged in. Acoustic-electric bassists here at Sweetwater love the Guild B-240E for its playability and affordability.
Discreet Fishman Sonitone pickup system for performing live
The Fishman Sonitone pickup system not only provides exceptional acoustic amplification, but it also boasts a discreet design. The controls are accessed via the soundhole, so you won't have to deal with a bulky preamp and a tone-compromising hole cut into the side of your instrument for the sake of getting a good live sound.
Engineered for a comfortable playing experience
The B-240E is engineered from the ground up to be comfortable and effortless to play. You'll notice the silky-smooth string action along the 30.75" scale length, vintage-shaped neck. And the 1.625" nut width spaces the strings wonderfully for playing fast bass lines without feeling cramped or having to reach uncomfortably far for your next string.
