Kona Signature Series Electric Acoustic Bass with Tolex Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PROS: Nice Bass. Excellent price. Tone is excellent especially on a dedicated Bass amp. Looks Beautiful. Good controls. Quality Case. It works very nicely with the Roland Mobile Cube. Excellent Acoustic/Electric Bass for the Money. Also, tends to get some really cool/annoying harmonic feedback going. Was great fun playing around and seeing what it could do without blowing the amp. I don't recommend this practice for noobs tho cuz it can blow a good speaker if you aren't careful.
CONS: Keep in mind this is a JUMBO Bass. 34" frets. I'm kinda a short guy so this is a bit of a stretch for me. Also, tends to get some really cool/annoying harmonic feedback going. But it is easy to stop it and avoid it if you are careful. Glue used in the case construction really stinks. Odor wise that is.

Samick AB2 - Natural 4-string Regency Acoustic Bass with Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been taking lessons for the last 3 months. At 58 years old I doubt if I'll make it on the road. I can say this is a great guitar. The tones are deep, rich and clean. It also is a very player friendly guitar. Stings are very easy to connect with the frets. I found and bought it used but it appears to be in mint condition. I would highly recommend it to either the beginner or to the master. I like it very much.
As I stated I have only taken 3 months of lessons so consideration has to be taken when you check on out. Thanks and have a great day.

Boulder Creek EBR3-N4 Acoustic-Electric 4-String Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Boulder Creek bass is by far the best acoustic bass I have ever played. I have never played a Tocoma Thunder Chief (widely regarded as one of the best acoustic basses) but I have played most of the usual suspects like Martin, Dean, Ibanez, Michael Kelly, Takamine. This bass has huge tone and the whole body just sings when you play. The side sound hole is great but really the whole thing just sings in all directions so I don't find myself hunching over the guitar to get a clear sense of what I am playing. It came strung with DAddario Nickel Wound Electric stings and even with electric stings it was much louder and better sounding than other bass I have played. I have Thomastik-Infeld Acousticoreson it now (If you have not tried acousticores do some research on them they are soft to the touch and a have a wonderful and unique bass tone) and it is truly a joy to play. I have not had the opportunity to jam with a guitarist yet but it seems that with the DAddarios on it I would have no problem keeping up with a guitar, and even with the Acouticores I think it could keep up. Though I might have to play with a pick.
This beautiful guitar has excellent craftsmanship and I find the natural finish very attractive. I really can not say enough good things about this bass it truly is an addictive joy to play. I love it!

Offering a combination of traditional materials and high-tech design, this 4-string acoustic-electric bass guitar from Boulder Creek (model EBR3-N4) enables you to hear your playing without plugging it in. The side port on the top projects the deep tones from the body directly to the player while the additional front port shoots the low frequencies towards the audience. When plugged in, it keeps the same natural tone with much less feedback than other acoustic electric basses. All Boulder Creek guitars feature solid tops, solid backs, and laminated sides for strength and durability. The EBR3-N4 uses Boulder Creek's Solitaire body, which employs the Suspended Bracing System (SBS). A departure from the traditional X-brace, the SBS employs a pair of parallel aluminum braces that are anchored at three points under the top, but are otherwise suspended like a pair of towel racks. This allows the top to vibrate more freely, improving projection. The area of the top is also greater, with a soundhole the size of half-dollar and a large oval port on the side, dramatically improving bass response. It's also equipped with the AB4-T Active Balanced Acoustic System with on-board tuner. The specially designed cable-type saddle transducer reduces the "clunk" that is inherent in traditional piezo pickup systems. The AB4-T System also feature both balanced and unbalanced outputs for maximum signal and noise reduction in both stage and studio applications.

Ibanez AEB5E Acoutsic Electric Bass Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got one of these acoustic/electric bass guitars. I'm a six-string guitarist and this is my first bass. The finish is very nice for the price, especially the neck, which feels very good to me.
The sound this thing makes is great. Very warm and "woody," which is what I wanted. I've plugged it in, and electrified, it sounds like I expected it would (good). The on-board gain caused some feedback if I pushed it up too high, but it sounded over-boosted at that setting anyway. The tone sliders are dead silent and allow me to add some brightness for more of a Jazz Bass sound, or go muddy and bassy at the other end.
But I bought this for acoustic playing, and it's great for that. I cannot see the point in paying more for something else.

Fender Victor Bailey Signature Acoustic V-String Bass, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disapointed. This Bass was not only damaged but it was not of the quality that it should had been. I returned the Bass the next day and after many emails finally got my refund. I'll not buy an instrument again on line and would not recomend to anyone.

Breedlove Atlas Solo BJ350/CM4 Fretless Acoustic Electric Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been playing bass on-and-off for about 20 years and this bass is, without a doubt, the best I've ever owned. Upon receiving it, I immediately changed the roundwound strings it came with to Fender stainless steel flatwounds and that was it. It feels great and the tone sounds beautiful when jamming. Comes with a heavy duty hardshell case.
I can't say enough good things about this bass and I highly recommend it.

Dean Edge 4 Fretless Bass, Trans Amber Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love everything about my new Dean Edge 4 fretless bass. I no longer have that fret buzz, and it has a knob that can turn it way down to bass if I like, or not depending on the kind of music. I love the color of the wood, the feel of the body against my own body, the smooth to rumbly sounds, the freedom to hit the notes exactly (you cannot do that on a regular fretted bass). And I love being able to slide smoothly up and down the neck without frets getting in the way.
It did take me a couple of weeks just messing around, playing on it to train my ears and get used to how to hit the notes right. At first I was kind of sloppy, but don't give up because once you get the hang of it you are in heaven.
This is my first fretless and I just love it. Not for someone who does not have ears trained to hear a scale. In order to use this or any fretless bass, you have to know by ear if you are hitting a little sharp or flat. There are markers on the neck which do help, but ... I wouldn't think of getting any other bass right now, I am having so much fun with this one.
