Guest Salty Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Has anyone ever played one? I'm just interested to see if it's worth looking in to buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundian Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Has anyone ever played one? I'm just interested to see if it's worth looking in to buying one. Don't bother. Acoustic bass is the bastard offspring of electric and double basses. All of the problems but none of the benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Electric Tibet Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I agree. They're not loud enough to play with other acoustic instruments and they feed back to f*** when plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThE bAsS MeKaNiK Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Buy a double bass and learn to play it instead. More expensive but way cool. Sounds good too.unfortunately, you need rather a large vehicle to move it about, unless your built like the hulk..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Salty Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Aww, it seemed like such a good idea. I shall be sticking to my fender p copy then. Double bass is sooo cool! I remember someone at school playing it one xmas assembly and she just looked way cooler than anyone else and the bass had a santa hat on, ooo. But yes, sticking to the fender copy, worth a try though I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth it really.(what's the range of a double bass? The fingerboard looks really short) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
