A Stage-Oriented Acoustic Bass, Between Tradition and Modernity
Designed to deliver a powerful "pegada" and clearly audible articulation, the AB60CE combines refined acoustic lutherie with electronics dedicated to performance. Its natural aesthetic highlights the woods, while design choices (FST2 bracing, bi-level bridge) aim to optimize resonance and stability, whether played fingerstyle or with a pick.
For Which Musicians and Styles
This electro-acoustic bass targets beginner to intermediate bassists seeking a versatile instrument, as well as stage musicians who need a sound quickly usable via the pickup and preamp. It excels particularly in pop, folk, variety, unplugged, and acoustic accompaniment contexts, where a present low end is desired without masking guitars and vocals.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce top provides precision in attack and excellent projection, helping the bass remain clear in an acoustic setting. The combination of african mahogany back and sides adds natural warmth and full mids, ideal for a steady and "musical" playing style rather than a too sharp tone. The FST2 bracing supports the top to improve response and note sustain, while the bi-level Indian laurel bridge promotes efficient vibration transmission. When plugged in, the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze electronics reproduce the instrument's woody character with clear output, suitable for quick soundchecks and concert setups.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, favor an identical string set: D'Addario EXPPBB170.
