Up for sale is a Martin 00C-16GTAE acoustic-electric bass in natural finish. This is a premium USA-made acoustic bass from the mid-2000s, featuring a comfortable thinline Grand Concert-style body that’s much more playable than a full-size dreadnought bass. It offers excellent acoustic tone with strong projection, plus a high-quality onboard Fishman Prefix Pro preamp for stage or studio use.

Serial / Dating Info: The exact serial number is stamped on the neck block (visible through the soundhole – please check for your records). Martin serial numbers from this era place production in the mid-2000s (roughly 2005–2008 range based on similar examples). Label clearly reads “00C-16GTAE Bass” with “C.F. Martin & Co., Inc. Nazareth, Pennsylvania • Made in USA”.

This model is highly regarded for its balanced, clear acoustic bass tone that sits well in a mix without being overly boomy. Great for singer-songwriters, folk, blues, or any acoustic setting where you want a real acoustic bass sound with easy plugged-in performance.
