In the world of acoustic/electric basses, a big sound usually equals a big price tag. Until now, that is. Alvarez completely redefines bang for the buck with their AB60CE acoustic bass. With a solid Sitka spruce top and hand-sanded scalloped bracing, this bass finally unleashes that huge low "E" that you've been searching for.

Alvarez's unique bi-level rosewood bridge creates more down pressure on the genuine bone saddle, which allows maximum energy transfer from the string to the top, making this one of the loudest acoustic basses on the planet. The LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up gives you the option for perform in any setting or stage. Add select mahogany back & sides, a genuine bone nut, a modern neck profile, and low action right out of the box, and you've got a killer instrument that will really get your creative juices flowing.

I was looking for a bass to play in acoustic jam sessions with mostly 6 string guitars. Looked at, tried, researched, and even bought a couple. This was the best one I found for under a grand that is loud enough to hang with the group. And this one is under $500. Also, plugged in it is outstanding! Check it out.

Musical Background:

Novice, started playing bass less than a year ago.
