I also just bought a Jack Casady case, and the Coronado (reissue) fits perfectly into it.

Thanks!:)

Today I got this one home. A precision bass made in Japan probably in the seventies (and most probably '75 according to the previous owner). It plays absolutely wonderful. A real fat and smooth P-bass tone. A neck to die for. Beatiful low action and no fret buzz at all. Quite heavy and seems...

Have now set it up. Adjusted the action, intonated and adjusted the pickups. What can I say... - wow! It just feels great to play, sounds fantastic! Avezzano, I understand your enthusiasm:) Did first try the rounds that were on, and the bass absolutely played fine with these. However, when I...

So, yesterday I finally got my Coronado home. When I opened the box, the jack input had loosened ad was floating around inside the body. Luckily it was not too hard to get it back on. Except from that, the first impression is very good! The neck feels good and the sound has a good amount of...

Thanks! Will try to post some photos when it arrive.

Thanks for the info zontar. I just got the message that my Coronado will arrive one of the next days. Looking forward to it.

Yes, total confusion. And looking at the Fender page, they call the new Coronado bass a 'thin semi-hollow'...!;)

Ok, then I understand what you mean. Thanks.

Yupp. Was just a little curios about your definitions of the different hollow-types. Seems to be much confusion out there.

So by a semi-hollow you then mean that the 'chambers'are connected, but different from a full hollow where the top is resonating freely?

I have a full hollowbody, and I must admit I thought that one sounds quite much better with flats. However, since the Coronado is a semi-hollow, I will give both options a go. As mentioned I plan to use in mainly in an acoustic-ish setting, so my gut feeling is that I will prefer the flats for...

Interesting...:) Guess the impression is quite different with rounds compared to flats.
