No longer available at zZounds
With its maple top and mahogany back and sides, the 300E bass boasts a rich, full sound. The robust Fishman Isys III electronics sound great in any venue.

When it's time to rock the low end with acoustic tone, the T-Bucket 300E Bass is ready with handsome looks and pure bass sound. With tons of visual appeal and natural tone, this cutaway dreadnought acoustic-electric bass is ready to take the stage with pure Fender style. Add in the robust onboard active electronics and you have an instrument that can rise to any occasion.

The heart and soul of an acoustic bass is the top, which must be able to resonate freely for natural sounding, dynamic tone. This bass incorporates quartersawn scalloped bracing, artfully arranged to reinforce the crisp-sounding laminated maple top while allowing it to vibrate freely for greater projection and responsiveness. The laminated mahogany back balances the maple top's sound, working together to create a detailed voice that brings out the best of every note. For those that want to hit the stage, the T-Bucket 300E Bass features an onboard Fishman Isys III pickup system with active preamp, tuner, volume and tone controls for shaping the amplified voice of the bass to match any venue. The bound maple neck sports a comfortable "C"-shaped profile that works well for any playing style, as well as a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with a GraphTech NuBone nut for enhanced sustain while eliminating string binding that can cause tuning issues. The rosewood bridge incorporates NuBone saddles for clarity and tonal consistency along with precise intonation.

The aesthetic appointments include a gorgeous figured top, read more new fingerboard inlay, rosette and headstock graphics, all of which combine to really "pop" on stage and shine in the spotlight. An acoustic-electric bass designed from the get-go to rock as hard as its electric cousins, the T-Bucket 300E Bass is an exciting alternative to the everyday acoustic guitar. read less

I am finicky, yes... very very picky choosey - there, that's out there! But it's my world ultimately, hence; IT HAS TO BE MY WAY at the end of the day. zZOUNDS allows me to be sure that what I have in my hands IS exactly right for my needs - that being said; WoW! sweet little Fender acoustic [I love that I just open tune and play]; right out the box, these bronze full-wounds slapped right to attention; neck is sharp! Well cured, good details, a "Fender' level of attention that separates them from other asian-origin axes; All of my guitar moves translated beeautifully across the neck, that's kinda rare. Really good, for the price - it is not a 'cheapo' guitar. No 'masked' factory odor - Overall, she is a very well built, crafted from quality timbre. It will be with me for many years. Guarantee family will constantly want to 'borrow' the warm, bright, soft sound of this "Fender T Bucket 300E A/E Bass" for their recordings! The electronics provided a buzz-free interface to the myriad of amps & PA's here. Time will tell there though. The acoustic sound is projected so nicely, and is so FULL that in parlor it fitted perfectly! What a blast, Pure Joy! Yes, I am finicky... and this instrument met and surpassed my intentions. - Wizardbert
