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

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.

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

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

Fine… here is a shitty phone recorded to tide you guys and shit https://soundcloud.com/grindingmass/ns-bass-tester

Dang that sounds really cool.

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.
