Sweet! How is it (feel, sound etc) compared to an acoustic?

[JonnyAngle]

Does it make ANY sound acoustically?

It is interesting, it's the only electric one that I can say doesn't sound a feel like a mutant, a failed attend and a portable version of a upright, this is like a electric guitar compared to a acoustic. Yes it will get as a acoustic sound as any instrument with a bridge piezo pickup sure but having the magnetic pickups let you really dial in a lot more out of the sounds coming from the strings. Feel: it takes a bit to get use to not having the body to use to balance to get a proper grip on the neck where you are not using your thumb takes a little getting use to but also not having anything in the way is interesting, you can play all over the thing without anything in the way… Only real issue I have is the string spacing at the bridge is a little tight.. it's similar to a Kay S-51 Chubby Jackson model, so you have to adjust your arco technique a little. One thing I am finding is really dark strings don't bow as well as brighter ones at least for your low strings, I have old spirocores right now on the B and E and they sound awesome where they always sounded scratchy on my acoustic bass.. I'm still mucking with strings though.. So far I am loving this thing.

I'll get to some recordings this weekend.

as much as any other solid body instrument does...

Interesting. I would definitely get one more for pizz than arco, I can imagine holding it in position must be odd.

[D.o.S.]

Why are we talking about the bass when we could be talking about those fucking Mesas though.

[friendship]

why are we not hearing that bass through those fucking Mesas is the ultimate Q

Dang that sounds really cool.

[rfurtkamp]

My question is where is the reel on that fishing pole?

How are you going to catch the men that are raining without one?

I was happy when the demo started, but then you pulled out the bow. Damn, those textures are absolutely massive. I wish I would've never stopped playing the double bass.
