The CB-60SCE is a surprisingly capable acoustic bass, especially considering the affordable price point. It's a great option for beginners or gigging musicians needing a portable, amplified bass—the Fishman preamp is a real bonus. It's not a substitute for a high-end instrument, but it delivers a lot of value for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Fishman CD is a solid, reliable preamp; it provides clear amplification without excessive feedback, though it lacks the more nuanced EQ options of higher-end systems.
The shorter scale does change the feel slightly, reducing string tension and altering the fundamental frequencies; experienced players will adapt quickly, but it's noticeably different.
While it's playable unamplified, the projection is modest; it's best suited for smaller rooms or when amplified, where the Fishman preamp truly shines.
