For the less well informed ([b]me[/b]) can you give a bit more info on the history behind the bass? Were many made? Was this the only colour scheme available? Who used them? Is this the only semi acoustic bass that Fender ever made? Who were they aimed at; Jazz Bassists? Were they popular back in the day? Etc etc….. It’s just so unusual to see something like this on the site instead of all the solid body J’s and P’s. I can’t afford it but I’d love to know a bit more about it. Oh, and good luck with the sale, I’m sure one or two collectors have an eye on it. Oggy
Hiperi0n Posted September 7, 2010 Author Posted September 7, 2010 Gladly i try to answer to your curiosities So for what i know this bass was introduced in the late 60's , i think yes it's the only semiacustic bass of fender and it was made to follow the trend of semiacustic gibsons that i guess had quite good success at the time. it is a bolt on semiacustic...exist 2 versions the Coronado I with one pickup (cheaper) and the Coronado II ( versions with 2 pickups). The colours available during the years was sunburst (as the one im selling) , red , and antigua. Plus there was a special edition called "wildwood" with the top made of rough wood wich where added some colours (guess you can find some samples on google) very nice but very rare and crazy expensive nowadays. I dont know exactly when the bass was discontinued but i think the first years of 70's, not sure anyway. The bass is very very light...shortscale...and very good sounding...the look i think is unbeatable and if you search some kind of sounds it can suits perfectly. Hope it helps....if you have other questions....i'm here cheers!

Hiperi0n Posted September 24, 2010 Author Posted September 24, 2010 thanx Oggy for the nice words this bass is waiting for the right person....soooo bump!
Jebo1 Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 These are nice basses and they used to be incredibly cheap - $500 each 2 years ago. In the States and for collectors these aren't particularly desirable, but they are nice guitars. I've had a number of them, particularly the electric guitar and electric 12 string versions. Good luck with the sale. It would originally have had a case as standard, which is a shame. I'd get a flight case for it as they are pretty flimsy as guitars go. the bolt on neck is a nice feature however - no problems with warping etc. I had one that was awful! Free bump etc. too!
