Overview

Heavy punch in a lightweight format you can take anywhere.

Like its fraternal twin brother, the CL-3BE packs some pretty serious punch for such a relatively small package. This head-turning, 3/4 size acoustic-electric bass features mahogany back and sides with a solid spruce top. A gig bag is included and it fits in airline overhead bins.

Why it is so great to play
Made with a mahogany back and sides paired with a solid spruce top, the CL-3BE also has a lower cutaway and upper beveled top to allow for maximum comfort and playability.

Beautiful appointments
The maple inlay on the headstock and fretboard make this one good-looking guitar. With all wood binding, this guitar oozes sophistication. The CL-3BE may be small in stature, but there’s nothing small about its volume, tone and advanced features.

Built-in Pickup and Headphone Amplifier
Take your playing experience to the next level with the built-in Shadow Nanoflex pickup, which is paired with a custom Shadow preamp, onboard chromatic tuner and Shadow’s renowned headphone amp technology. The headphone amp also has an auxiliary input so you can jam with your favorite backing tracks.

Gig Bag
The Traveler Guitar CL-3BE is the perfect solution for traveling players looking for a compact and comfortable acoustic/ electric bass. Fits easily in airline overhead compartments in the included deluxe gig bag.
