Fender T-Bucket Acoustic Bass E | 2012 Guitar Garage Australia
 
Grand Concert body. Laminated flame maple top with mahogany back and sides. 32" medium scale. Fishman Isys III electronics with tuner. Includes original case.
 
Available now is a 2012 Fender T-Bucket Acoustic Bass E in excellent condition. This acoustic bass features a comfortable 32" medium scale, shorter than the standard 34" long-scale basses, making it easier to play for guitarists doubling on bass or players with smaller hands. The onboard Fishman preamp system includes a built-in chromatic tuner and 3-band EQ, making it stage-ready.
 
The bass shows only minor signs of light residential use. The body finish is clean and glossy, with only a few light surface scratches visible upon close inspection, none of which break the lacquer. Most importantly, the fingerboard shows no fret wear, ensuring a buzz-free, like-new playing experience across the entire scale. The neck is straight with a comfortable low action.
