The Fender Coronado Bass guitar is back, with greater sound, build and beauty than ever for the bassist who appreciates a different Fender bass with a special history. In the mid-to-late 1960s, the Coronado family was Fender's first foray into the hollow-body electric instrument world. Now the Coronado name and style returns to Fender as an utterly cool bass in the Modern Player family, with stunning looks, tone and features.

The Fender Coronado Bass guitar's thin semi-hollow maple body has an alder center-block and bound top and back, with stylish bound f-holes. Its "C"-shaped maple neck has a 9.5"-radius white-bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and elegant white pearloid block inlays. Other distinctive features include dual Fideli'Tron humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, three-ply black pickguard, four skirted "amp"-style control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup) and an Adjusto-Matic bridge with floating "F" trapeze tailpiece.

I've been looking for a semi-hollow body bass for a while. I tried Gretsch, Gibson and Epiphone and wasn't very happy with any of them. I ordered the Coronado to see if it would do the job. After a thorough setup and a new set of flat wound strings, this has turned out to be the one I was looking for. Great tone, easy to play and it's beautiful. I have two complaints, one is that when you're wearing it the whole instrument sort of cants forward. I have to use my forearm to hold it straight. The other is if you're holding it on you lap it sits weird because of the jumbo body. Nothing to do about that I suppose. I really do love this bass. I plan on having it for a long time.

Musical Background:

30 years of playing. Former professional road warrior, now playing 4-5 shows a month.

Musical Style:

TRADITIONAL Country music these days.
