Fender CB-60SCE Acoustic Bass

In 1991, Eric Clapton made waves with his MTV Unplugged concert, the live album of which went on to pick up six Grammy Awards®. This concert, is would be fair to say, gave acoustic music a boost in popularity that it still enjoys today, and the acoustic bass guitar naturally plays an essential part. The CB-60 bass, which is part of Fender's Indonesian-made Classic Design Series, is an acoustic bass with an ergonomically designed cutaway, a medium-scale mahogany neck, a solid spruce top, and a Fishman pickup and preamp system to allow it to be amplified.

Low-end sound in a lightweight package

The Fender CB-60 bass has numerous features that will put electric bass players at their ease right away: It is extremely light and looks both sleek and cool thanks to its high-gloss finish and classy binding. More importantly, however, its neck features a 32" (81.3cm) scale length and thus feels very close to that of an electric bass while also slightly reducing the string tension, which makes playing easier and provides a smooth and articulate sound. The solid spruce top is reinforced with scalloped "X" bracing and features a pin-type bridge, while the back and sides are made from robust laminated mahogany. The Indian laurel fingerboard in turn has rolled edges for increased playing comfort. This bass can also be amplified using a suitable bass amp thanks to its integrated Fishman® Classic Design pickup/preamp system, which features a two-band EQ unit and a built-in tuner and is powered by a 9V battery.

Your unplugged journey starts here

Anyone who is looking for a practice, travel, or backup bass should definitely take a look at the Fender CB-60, all the more so in view of its affordable price. It is also ideal for quiet home practice without amplification, though of course as with all acoustic basses of this type, at least a small amplifier may be required when this bass is played alongside other instruments, and that is where the CB-60's onboard piezo pickup/preamp system comes into play. The bass can thus be amplified to sufficient volume without losing its inherent acoustic tonal character, which makes it suitable even for on-stage performances. What is more, the CB-60's cutaway means that the upper registers of its 22-fret fingerboard are also more accessible than on comparable acoustic basses with standard body shapes.

About Fender

Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today’s music industry.

Quiet but powerful

Acoustic concerts have been "en vogue" for many years - after all, they are not just easier and less costly to organise, they are also fun: Music played at moderate volume levels, a relaxed atmosphere, and sounds that go from the players' fingers to the listeners' ears untainted by any effects. All of this is of course both challenging and appealing, to say nothing of providing a real rush for the players involved. The direct sound and playing feel of an acoustic bass are something that many bass players will not want to forego once they have experienced it. Aside from the obvious benefits it provides, such as unplugged playability and ease of transport, the Fender CB-60's best feature is the captivating acoustic sound itself, which clearly separates it from its solid-bodied electric siblings.

I was considering Harley Benton bass but pleased with this instead. As well as quality , name and lovely neck the better pick up swayed it. It isn't too accoustically
loud but has a nice tone. However, when played though a amp it really shines through. As with other reviews the tuner could be better placed but It is still visible with a shuffel. can still tune .

Belle, bien finie et qualité sonore
BrunoR 14.03.2024
Je souhaitais acheter une basse acoustique pour travailler mes morceaux sans devoir sortir ma Jazz bass et devoir la brancher sur un ampli, et aussi pouvoir l'emporter à gauche à droite pour des petites jams acoustiques entre potes (là un petit ampli basse est nécessaire). N'ayant pas envie de trop dépenser pour ça, mon choix s'est porté sur ce modèle qui reçoit beaucoup d'avis positifs. 3 jours de patience et j'ai reçu la belle. J'ai d'abord été bluffé par la qualité de fabrication et de finition ! Table en sapin massif, micro et préampli Fishman s'il vous plait ! Pas le moindre défaut, vernis magnifique. Vraiment top. Le son en acoustique est très typé "basse acoustique" avec forcément un volume sonore limité mais ce son est beau, surtout avec de nouvelles cordes que je me suis empressé de monter : des Ibanez IABS4XC32. C'est chéro mais ça en vaut la peine : meilleur son que les originales (qui sont épouvantables) et beaucoup moins bruyantes aux glissés. Elles ont un coating noir du plus bel effet. Pour parfaire l'esthétique, j'ai changé les vilaines chevilles (qui sont blanches comme des dents pub Colgate) par des -accrochez vous- : Warwick Bridge Pin f. RockBass Alien B noires et donc assorties aux cordes. Pour en revenir au son, branchée dans un ampli, cette basse réserve de bonnes surprises, juste faire attention de ne pas jouer trop près de l'ampli à un certain volume, sinon feedback garanti. Le petit égaliseur Fishman avec accordeur fait bien le taf. Voilà je recommande vivement !

Big disappointment
Sven8383 17.09.2023
Having played base guitar for well over 30 years, I am sorry to say this is probably the worst base guitar I ever had.

First impression is that of a well made instrument, but the sound is just terrible. Where is that "low end" that is being advertised? Simply put, this sounds like a cheap tin bucket and I actually threw the instrument out.

I have no idea how a brand like Fender could create a terrible piece like this. Absolutely useless as an acoustic base - no sound whatsoever, no volume. The playability isn't great, too.

I had a comparatively cheap Benton acoustic base once which sounded ten times better and was better to play.

Big disappointment! Definitely cannot recommend!

Good entry level acoustic base
Coderic 03.06.2019
I use this bass purely for messing around and not in any professional format. It is well built and sounds fine. The action is a little high for me but that can be adjusted. Overall a good entry level acoustic base that can be used as a learning tool.
