Custom Fender T-Bucket Grand Concert Acoustic/Electric Bass - 3-Tone Sunburst

The Hot Rod Design series now welcomes its first bass guitar to the family-the new T-Bucket Bass. You’ll get all the acoustic lowdown you need from its grand concert body style, Fender phosphor bronze acoustic bass strings and Fishman® Isys™ III pickup system with onboard active preamp and tuner.
Features include a beautiful flame maple top with scalloped X bracing and a classic Fender Three-color Sunburst finish, mahogany back and sides, 32” medium scale length, gloss-finish mahogany neck with dual-action truss rod, Ivory body and neck binding, rosette and headstock pinstriping inlay, 12th fret “F” inlay and pinstriping by noted hot rod artist Vince Ray, rosewood bridge with compensated saddle and forward strap button.
This instrument has never been played! It even still has the factory plastic over the tuning machine housings. It is lightly stamped "used" on the back of the headstock. This designation means the instrument has a minor cosmetic blemish. It is a completely playable instrument with no sacrifice of tone, structure, or playability. This particular bass took a knock during shipping that put a dent in the binding and a chip in the finish on the edge of the body. This has been filled and sealed by a Fender-authorized refurbisher to ensure there is no problem in the future. It is quite visible because of the chip in the finish, but it is sealed and is now nearly 100% smooth to the touch. I have included a close-up photo. There is some scuffing on the headstock which I have pictured as well. Lastly, there are a few light finish scratches on the back of the body, visible only when caught under bright lighting at the right angle. Aside from what I have described, the bass is in flawless condition.
This acoustic bass features a 32" neck scale--slightly shorter than standard--making it very easy to play. It has been professionally set up and has nice low action without any fretbuzz. The neck is straight and the playability is excellent. And for those times you need to amplify that natural acoustic bass sound, the Fishman Presys preamp and pickup system provide easy control and accurate tonal reproduction to ensure consistency in any situation. Plus, the preamp includes a built-in chromatic tuner for easy tuning whether plugged in or not.
A new Guardian Cases hardshell case can be added to US orders for $75 or to international orders for $95.
