Despite its name, the bass was introduced last year as their first-ever hollow body bass. <\/p>\n<p>It has an interesting wood combination that utilizes jackfruit back and sides with a mahogany top. Its maple neck sports a vintage \u201cC\u201d shape and a rosewood fingerboard with 21 frets. Finished in a \u201clicorice\u201d color, the bass gets some extra elegance with a gold\/copper colored pickguard, hardware, and finger rest. <\/p>\n<p>For electronics, the company opted for a single Seymour Duncan Antiquity 50 P pickup with passive electronics. The tone control has a push-pull function to double as a kill switch. Finally, the hardware includes a Badass II bridge and Hipshot HB2 tuners. <\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channelid=\"UCuHKXHw5P891LFZOmrpFWEw\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Fad-Guitars-Corona-P50-Bass-Body-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Fad-Guitars-Corona-P50-Bass-Headstock-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we\u2019re checking out the Corona P50 by Indonesia\u2019s Fad Guitars.
