• Great Bass for the Price

  Don't let the low price fool you. This is not a "cheap" bass. Nice full sound for an acoustic. Sounds pretty good plugged in also. Built in tuner is a nice addition.

  I expected a really cheap sound and quality all around, but I was impressed! The neck felt great and pretty decent action straight out of the box too. Acousticly, it was more than what I expected. Good for small un-amplified rooms. I used it in an intimate session plugged and everyone was wondering how did i get such a clean tone! By the way, I love a great tone and this bass has one! The body is not as hefty as I thought it was either. Playing this acoustic has already inspired me to write more!

• Acoustic Bass nice but......

  
  As reviewed by Roy Whittaker on 5/7/2012

  1st impressions, good looking acoustic bass. (Violin sunburst). Needed set up on the neck, about a half to 3/4 turn to minimize strings 3 and 4 buzzing. Had some very light scratching on the head stock. Like it was wiped down with a cloth with something coarse on it. 2nd impressions, I liked playing this bass pretty well for the price but I was hoping it would be able to project into a live acoustic jam session without an amp. Our church group likes to play acoustically spontaneously without having to cart an amp and cables around. Unfortunately we found that this bass could not stand up to a group larger than 3. Acoustic guitar and bass, with vocal, sitting close together. As soon as you add 2 more folks outside of a 5 ft radius with congas and another vocal the bass cannot be distiguished from anything else, and the bass player was willing to bleed and build huge callouses to make this work but alas, it was not to be. Now that being said, after more research (to see if a suitable acoustic bass exists to upgrade to) we saw a number of discussions indicating that amping an acoustic bass even in the quietest locations was recommended. So, to be fair, and to help others who may think that an acoustic bass on its own is enough, I wanted to write this review. Incidentally, this bass amped is nice (but an electric bass is smaller and more portable if that is a requirement). To sum it up, if you and a buddy want to work on vocal, bass, and guitar parts, unplugged, in a quiet venue, and you want a sweet looking/sounding acoustic bass at a great price, this is your bass. If you have a dream of playing it unplugged with a group of 5-8 folks spread around your living room jamming, it is just a dream.(Unless maybe you get an upright bass....hmmmm)
