So was in m local music store and ended up in the
and as always went along the line of ABGs and plucked all the Es... This bugger was loud! It actually sounds good [WTF] No it isn't bassy like my upright but for playing on the beach and stuff and for playing like Lemmy it rocks! Actually if you want the most out of these things PLAY LIKE LEMMY!
It's a Ibanez AEB5E-NT 3U-01

Pretty cool. I need to buy one of these for the Violent Femmes tribute band I keep talking about.

and it was the cheapest one in the store! $200, I was like shit... I have to buy this.... sure it doesn't have a lot of harmonic depth but it keeps up [overpowers] with a guitar... I have played almost every ABG model every made too and I like this one. Evey one I play I'm like it's that much for this?

Cuz a ABG will never can never be a real bass instrument unplugged I've always though that over $500 was a little silly

Oh and the neck is a baseball bat, so if you have small hands sorry...
And the top looks like a oilcan

I'ts all plywood so that isn't really a issue

I know... I know... I still don't really see it as a acoustic bass though... unplugged I think of it as a low guitar

...or maybe I just need therapy.. no not a good idea... then I'd have to explain why I like noise-music and anime...
