Spartacus Advice on acoustic bass guitars (48) RE: Advice on acoustic base guitars 29 Dec 02


DON'T DO IT MAN! I've heard various acoustic bases played in quiet rooms over the years. I've seen them on stage many times and had them next to me on stage many times. I have yet to hear one loud enough. (I've heard the martin, the guild, and the (awful) tacoma)
You're much better off finding a $1,500 upright. Even a cheap upright sounds better than any of those giant acoustic basses.
Most of the acoustic bases never stay in tune, are'nt audible without re-enforcement, and...well.....sorry to go on a rant here.....
I would say "no"
