A bassist complaining his instrument is too quiet? I've never heard of such a thing
Bass isnt quiet?
@@selfactualizer2099 but they are low sounding
You've been listening to the wrong music
Minimal Red puros corridos tumbados cuh
Wat a load of bullshit man
Opinion from a double bass Player. When I first picked one of These up: Woah man! Those strings are soo soft! This is fucking heaven! So small too!
Nobody Never Yeah, I think the same
i am a double bass player too, do you think it is easy to learn acoustic bass guitar?😄
I was a double bassist first, thought, i can play this massive thing, let's downsize to a bass guitar, im sure its the same. Boy was I wrong, both the fingering and even just the plucking techniques are so different and I just wasn't expecting it to be like learning a new instrument, the only thing they have in common is the same strings!
@@garethstroud5586 Yeah it is quite different. I played double bass and acoustic guitar beforehand, so when someone asked me if I could play the bass guitar I just said "yeah", and kinda worked it out. It's basically half way between the two.
I love my nylon tapewounds. Even softer and no friction. Fingers slide like they're on glass
The Mexican way to play it is to pluck the string and provides a really good bass noise 👍🏿
Yeah it’s called chicotiar
That's how you play a guitaron
@@chasesamuel9923 yes sir
Talking bout a bajoloche 🤣
Slap that shit
I'm a noob, learning on an Ibanez acoustic bass. I like that it's light and quiet, so I can just sit on the couch and practice and not worry about bothering anyone. I also like that it shows no mercy when my fretting hand isn't in proper position.
same here.
I love my acoustic bass. I play it every day. You can just pick it up and play, no cables, amps, cabinets to deal with. And it sounds great with the proper strings playing acoustically with acoustic guitars if you’re in a small setting. It was the best bass purchase of my life and a guitar I will never part with because it’s my main source of practice.
I bought one but I think Iam gana change the strings on it in the future just don’t know how to I’ve changed my yamaha fGX series strings 2s
What strings would you recommend for an acoustic bass? I got my acoustic recently, the strings seemed too tight while tuning, the 1st and 2 nd strings actually snapped. Thanks
@@nelsie036 dadarios
Might help if your strings weren't installed about six decades ago. You'll find the volume will be more if you change strings regularly.
Do you think replacing the strings with tape wound or round wound strings would improve or amplify the sound?
Improve? Definitely? Amplify? Probably not.
Half Rounds.
@StevieEthereal 966 One time I didn't change guitar strings for 6 years and they were very dull sounding
@@SunnyD420 Man, check out Jamerson's Motown tracks. Now *them* strings are dead. Or "broken in".
You guys realize this video is more aimed at beginners who are thinking about buying one of these for their first bass, right?
Andrew Pincock I find them to be acceptable for beginners who are specifically interested in acoustic bass. In that scenario, it's best to go head first into the trials and tribulations of acoustic basses so that you begin to develop techniques to work around.
Some people specifically want acoustic for their aesthetic qualities and percussive effects, and may not plan on owning multiple instruments.
Would you recommend getting it as a first bass guitar if somebody has contrabass experience?
you never ssaid this in the video...
Yeah but what sort of advanced acoustic bass playing god clicks on a video called “Should I buy an acoustic bass?”
good point but there is this little green spot between pro and beginners
Okay I've owned 3 acoustic basses over the years and here is my two cents about it. It really depends on your what you intend to play and the style of music. I actually LOVE acoustic basses and think they are simply great live and in the studio. I like playing them with a pick and actually, they really complement an acoustic guitar, provided you use a mic/ amp it up. You might say, "they're quiet unplugged and if you plug them in you might as well go for an electric". No. Plugged in, many acoustics like some Ibanez and Fenders have a unique boxy tone to them which personally suits what I like to play and great for some genres. The problem I find with videos about "should I get an acoustic bass" are that they assume ALL bassists play the same way, and want to use an acoustic the same way as an electric. You wouldn't expect a metal shredder to expect the same out of a Elvis Fender Kingman acoustic would you? Same applies to acoustic basses. I stand by them, great instruments
Dude what kind of music do you play
Same.
Country
Yeah, I totally agree with you. I bought a Sigma acoustic a few years ago and did a lot of research b4 hand. I Luv this bass.
Great sound and don't need an amp to practice. I've played with friends playing acoustic guitars, fingerstyle and the bass is still heard. If they use plectrums and attack the strings, then it's hard to hear.
I've plugged into an amp in that case and same for electric guitars. My bass sounds just as good when plugged in which I was surprised just how good it was.
Again depends what you you want to play and even better if you can have an acoustic and an electric. Cheers
I am considering an acoustic bass but I wonder whether it can be plugged into an acoustic amp. Is there a special acoustic bass amp? Can I use same amp to plug the guitar and the bass at a same time and have a decent quality sound?
I've had an acoustic bass for about 10 years now, and I basically agree with everything you are saying here. However, I do enjoy playing mine quite a bit. The main purpose for mine though is simply like you were saying, a quick hassle-free way to pick up the instrument and practice.
I'm considering to get one just by practicing easier than setting up all my stuff for electric bass, your comment motivates me to give a try on an acoustic one :)
This bass is good for corridos tumbados and regional Mexican music
me watching this video as I do an assignment on Ranchera: 👁👄👁
Da bajoloche
Si no hay guitarron no hay mariachi
I have one and I play it often I'm a truck driver so it works fine for me in my truck
Yo pay attention to the road lol
Sounds like a good life shawn
@@FireLordJD this comment is god tier
Ian hecox? Is that you?
I didn't even watch this video, here's the answer, if your a bass player on the go or a bass player who likes folk/country/blues the answer is yes, hell I'm a bass player who likes rap and metal and I have an acoustic bass, believe it or not, I actually end up docking more hours on it than my 72 precision (non re issue)
When you compare the loudness of the two types of basses, why did you use a pick on the electric bass but not use one on the acoustic?
Here's a more "scientific" comparison: th-cam.com/video/cGQhtYc9dW4/w-d-xo.html
Tbh the fact that an unpluged electric bass played with a pick is louder than an accustic one tells me everything I need to know. Because all that loudness is just percusion from the strings hitting the fretboard rather than the actual tone resonating. So if he were to dig into the accustic one the result would probably be the same. Just a bunch of string sounds while the the actual tone being played getting buried under it. I've tried a few acustics. And I have to agree, they are big, impractical, not very loud and cost a lot. More often than not they require an amp to actually be heared. And despite it's unique sound (only thing really going for it) I'd rather just stick to playing my Precision bass if I need to plug in anyway. At least the precision is way more comfortable to play. For campfires I've got my accustic guitar. I prefer the bass. It will always be the cooler instrument to me, however until they invent an acustic version of it that is actually practical, I'll stick to the guitar when I'm outsides with friends
@@tomebasic2843 You could try a resonator bass, they are supposed to be louder but probably just as big and inconvenient to carry around.
Holy fuckin shit... I can't believe what I just watched... I was questioning if maybe he was just trolling?? Can this guy really be serious? Acoustic bass is powerful! Cool as fuck! You can feel the vibrations, it's really cool. I understand if you don't like Cheap Trick, but please listen to their first album and tell me that that's not a cool fucking instrument. One thing further, if the strings feel tight, you can loosen them up. Most acoustics feel tight to me, so I like to tune to C# feels good man
Comparing playing softly with fingers on bronze strings to aggressive playing with a pick on nickles? You glad you made your artificial point buddy? I got one of these and put nickles on it, it's plenty loud enough to play with an acoustic guitar.
Yeah, that's not a direct comparison. That it's even remotely close is pretty telling though. However, I've gotten enough feedback like yours to make me really want to measure the difference. I have a video in the works that will more scientifically evaluate the loudness factor.
Hi, Andrew, nice play. What`s brand of da bass?
I play fretless Godin A4. What`s your opinion about Godin brand?
+Sankt Nicolaus Don't know much about Godin. This one is an Ibanez.
Andrew Pincock
Ty.
Here's the video if you want to continue arguing with me: th-cam.com/video/cGQhtYc9dW4/w-d-xo.html
I agree that they don’t work as acoustic instruments, but they have a certain feel and sound and they are lighter to carry than most electrics.
This is surprisngly funny
Love My acoustic bass guitar. After I buy this bass I practise now everyday on it 👍
Bro but in regional Mexican we use acoustic bass and we use a technique named chiqotear that is plucking the strings and it's one of the signature sounds of a song cuase unlike normal base you can actually hear it
1:17
You can't compare fingers with pick.
I don't know about anybody else but I play with my hand unsupported. also I like a really big neck but that's just me
The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman me too
this video is saying if you only had the option of either, get an electric. it's not that cryptic
I play electric bass guitar and was lookin to get an acoustic bass just for portability and for when I’m on road trips etc
The Mexican Guitarron is the solution. It has the face of a big guitar, but the body stretches deep behind it and then actually bulbs out, like face of a cello. It is a standard instrument for a Mariachi quartet and is generally recognizeable by people in that context. Its a huge, fat instrument; akin to holding a giant baby in the arms. The reason the guitarron is the ONLY solution to an acoustic bass guitar is because only the guitarron is loud enough to actually compete the other instruments in a live performance.
But there is a catch. Although it is type of 6-string acoustic guitar, is has it's own learning curve. The strings are tuned in a special way that allows for TWO bass notes to be plucked at one time. And both duplicate notes must be played at the same time to keep the volume level high, but also to keep a consistent coloring to the bass line.
The guitarron has a unique sound very unlike an acoustic bass guitar, due to it's huge structure, the doubling of any single played note, and because it incorporates nylon strings for the upper (higher) strings. It sounds very "acoustic" and can add a lot of character to the music. It is more edgy and present than the smooth sound of the Classical upright bass. // And, as far as regular acoustic bass guitar, I would ONLY buy one if you intend to use it for recording, or for personal solo enjoyment. It's a wonderful, "acostickee" warm tone when picked up by a microphone. And it's healing to physically absorb bass notes, because of it's deep penetration. (Wink-wink) // Even though I use synthesizers, I'm one of those Classical purists who only believes in ONLY acoustic instruments in a group setting. (How extremest of me).
Sadly, the guitarron is not used much outside of Mariaci music. Because if it's huge size, it is not as easy to carry around from gig to gig. Add the traveling issue to the completely different tuning AND plucking approach, the instrument as become marginalized into Marachi folk music.
There is no acoustic bass guitar that can compete with the guitarron in a live setting, and really, it's a giant, fertile, bulbous gem just WAITING to be plucked . . .
- This has been a message from your friendly neighborhood - _Acoustic Rabbit Hole_
This acoustic bass is the most powerful in regio mexican corridos cause the quality of the strings allows you to slap the strings
I’ve gotten a lot of comments about acoustic basses in this style of music and you’re right in that they function great for that music. However, the acoustic bass I’m using in the video is a different instrument from what is traditionally used in those styles and would not perform nearly as well.
@@ampthebassplayer nope man its an acoustic bass works just aswell its what most regional mexican bassist use
I got the Fender FA 450 CE and really love this acoustic Bass.
Bro compared the volume of different playing styles like they were the same
- gingerly glides fingers over the acoustic bass strings
- shreds the electric with a pick
Thanks for reminding of the feelings that I had when playing acoustic basses.
I be slapping the shit out them 4 strings 🎸
I have the exact same acoustic bass you have in this video. I love my acoustic bass. Now, I play bass with a pick, so I guess it's easier for me. Plus, most of your points were kinda correct. However, I absolutely love the acoustic bass I have, and I got it for about $250. Pretty good deal if you ask me
It looked like you purposely played it as quiet as you could just to prove your point. Mine is plenty loud but I do play hard and playing with a pick makes a difference too. Depends what you want. They're good to practice on as when you actually do play an electric bass its a piece of piss!
Here is that same bass being played with a pick in a band context: th-cam.com/video/sOtU4Zg9jKI/w-d-xo.html
Well a lot of us don't play gigs
You were good in Smosh.
That’s meant to be slapped 🥱
I don't think I should be limited to just one style of attack because the instrument sucks. #allstylesmatter
AMP haha Ik I was just making a joke 😹😹
well damn, that was pretty clear cut. i was thinking about getting one but now i wont, thanks :)
Don't let this video put you off. I have an Ibanez acoustic/electric and use it acoustically 100% of the time. It's plenty loud, easy to play, and really convenient when you want to jam without having to plug in.
+Kzoo Detector Only if you like being inaudible amongst your friends.
+Kzoo Detector th-cam.com/video/cGQhtYc9dW4/w-d-xo.html
Andrew Pincock Nigga please,
burnzy3210 Still gettin' one. Lots of experience, and I like the sound, and convenience of acoustic basses.
I have an updated video on this topic featuring a friend of mine who holds a PhD in bass performance. We address all the comments I've gotten here over the years including how acoustic bass stacks up against upright bass, and hopefully we'll put this topic to rest once and for all. th-cam.com/video/MiidbkgDiBc/w-d-xo.html
I also strongly disagree.
1) Don't pluck on the sound hole. Pluck on the end of the fret board (similar to an upright bass); you immediately get a more comfortable right arm/hand position. Thumb rests on the fret board edge and makes life TONS easier.
2) If you play play a FRETLESS BASS(that has fret markers like a DEAN EAB) with flatwound strings, you get a MUCH more comfortable fretting hand/left arm position that's easier on the fingers.
3) The low volume argument is a flat out lie (when playing with other acoustic instruments). You do have to pluck harder than an electric bass to play along with other guitars, pianos. ukes, etc but I can hear it just fine in the recording. I will post a video to prove it.
3a) Fretted Acoustic Basses have HORRIBLE fret buzz. The worst I've ever seen. And maybe that's why you can't pluck as hard as you'd like to get a louder sound on some of the more cheap ones because you are trying to avoid that horrible buzz. Answer: GET A FRETLESS (With fret markers). www.guitarcenter.com/Dean/EAB-Fretless-Acoustic-Electric-Bass-Gloss-Natural-1284134930916.gc
If you are into the world of acoustics, or are just trying to campfire jam with friends, don't be put off. I got the bass posted in the link a few months ago and it is one of the best decisions I've made.
Still waiting on the video to prove point 3
Honestly, I prefer acoustic basses to electric basses in most scenarios. They're really fantastic for my style which incorporates a lot of flamenco guitar strumming/finger style, with punchy slapping. They're kinda shit when it comes to tapping though.
Save me from buying this thing. Spending it elsewhere.
Still debating to this day!
I pretty much stopped picking up my electric bass when I bought my first acoustic one. I now have both a fretted and a fretless acoustic and aside from just personally enjoying them more the amount of percussive things you can do on the body is insane when compared to an electric bass.
Look up Dmitry Lisenko using an acoustic bass on TH-cam. That is the reason to own one.
Also an acoustic bass is way louder than you present in your comparison. You are strumming fairly hardcore on the unplugged electric and barely plucking the acoustic. To do a real comparison play the same thing in the same way.
What I am getting at is DON'T let this video scare you off of getting an AGB. They are great fun in the right hands. To find out if those hands are yours get down to your local music shop and try one out.
Also, look up Chris Dismuke on TH-cam. Amazing things on the acoustic bass guitar that would not sound as good on an electric.
+Harry Collier th-cam.com/video/cGQhtYc9dW4/w-d-xo.html
Davie504 use an acoustic bass sometimes
And the Ubass is a good alternative.
He looks like ian from smosh
I have one of these and have come to appreciate it more as I've practiced with it. The action is a bit high, but I use that to help me develop better note articulation. I get really good sound when I pick or pluck the strings closer to the bridge, and I mix my output so I have as much acoustic sound as I can get, but mix in a little bit of wired-amp sound to get the volume where it needs to be in an ensemble. A bass has a job to do, but too much amp overpowers other instruments. The sound has a woody, natural quality. Feedback can be an issue if you turn it too loud. For the price, its a useful and fun bass to play. I'm going to see how flatwounds sound on it. String noise when moving up and down the frets takes a light touch to minimize, but for me, this bass is a keeper.
Es el mejor video que he visto sobre ese tema, tiempo atrás tuve un bajo electroacústico concluí lo mismo, quizás al tocarlo con slap suene mas fuerte pero sigue siendo una opción poco versatil.
It's the best video I've seen on that topic. Some time ago, I had an electroacoustic bass and came to the same conclusion. Perhaps playing it with slap might make it sound louder, but it still remains a somewhat limited option in terms of versatility.
I can see having one of these for practicing on a whim or in a car or out in nature especially if you're a singing bass player or composer.
1:18 of course the pick makes it louder probably if you use the pick for the acoustic it might make it louder.
Did you just compare playing the acoustic bass with your fingers with playing the electric bass with a pick?
Thanks man this was really helpful
+Fretliner Glad to hear!
Agreed! Helps make my choice easier.
I feel like an acoustic bass would be better for beginners because you don't need to have an amp, because it's acoustic. You also don't need to spend extra money on something that you don't even know if you'll be good at.
Fantastic cosiderations and extremely usefull !! When brain defeats marketing 6-0 6-0 !!
just played 1 at a music shop best fun i have had all week
going to definitely buy 1
😂
mate you shouldn't be posting videos telling ppl not to get 1
i say to all my fellow bassie
try 1 out and make your decision 👍
+Rusty Lynch I wouldn't say I'm actively telling people not to buy them so much as discussing some of the shortcomings of the instrument.
Só even if you play with a pick is not ad loud enough to play with an acoustic guitar?
Here’s a real world example of the bass in action with a band: th-cam.com/video/sOtU4Zg9jKI/w-d-xo.html
@@ampthebassplayer thank you very much. But the bass is not really loud. Maybe it is because of the recording.. How was from you experience?
It’s just not very loud. Everything else comes through perfectly, but the bass just has no presence. It’s fine if you want play alone but they don’t work super well with a band.
I've been thinking about buying one of these for a while, thanks for helping me make my decision!
My mitchell acoustic bass is nerrower then that one and loud af
I’ll bet that bass would sound just fine played through my battery powered Roland cube street., small as a milk crate, perfect for acoustic jams indoors or out., and I could have that instrument set up and playing nice and easy in an hour or less, as long as there’s no build issues.
I was thinking about whether to buy one or not and after your explanation... I'll buy it! Thank you!
I’m gonna be honestly I bought this bass for my first one because it was affordable. I learned pretty much all the songs I could and wanted to learn... even learned how to slap on it. And when I switched to electric It was like butter. Not sayin you should get it for a first one. But it def made a difference for me
Yes, I was urged by several bass players to get an acoustic first to build finger strength. I got a Fender BG29 on CL for $150 and when my skills increase and if I stick with it, I'm going to buy a J-bass.
@@pleromicpastry5445 yes a fender j bass is sooooooooooooo nice trust me your ganna love it
They're cool. They're awkward. They're pointless.
Yo my acoustic bass is way louder than my unplugged electric wtf u on about? Is that a basic model?
These acoustic electric bass guitars are very popular right now I bought one and I have no amp yet but they are getting more popular then before
I am a little late but I do wish people would not get so mad when you pretense this as your opinion and also give very valid points anyhow. I am actually planning on getting the exact bass showcased in this video as I do love the idea of the instrument. It was a bit of a downer to know that they are not very loud, as that was my initial reason for wanting one, and I saw your vid with the bass teacher and how a double bass is as loud as loud gets. However, after many weeks of consideration, I have weighed all of the pros, and all of the many cons, and I think I would definitely benefit from using an acoustic traversal and have fun taking advantage of its quirks.
That's awesome! I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
I agree with the entirety of your statement. I didn't get the impression he was trashing them per se, simply letting individuals know this is what it is. The beauty of music is simply going to create for your purpose, need, desire, vision, etc. Have fun with the bass. Would live to hear your thoughts.
silverback strings? there a nylon core metalic wrap acoustic string made by goldtone?
I wish I knew that in 2011... I have a Fender Acoustic Bass Guitar, I wanted it so much because I didn't know much about bass guitars back then. It's so annoying that anyone talking in the audience can render it silent. I'm looking forward to sell it for a good enough price to buy a jazz bass now.
i'm a beginner with a $60 cheep BC acoustic Bass and a $600 Ibanez electric Bass and i find my self picking up the acoustic bass more than my electric its easier its quiet and i don't bother the family with NOSE... i think that a acoustic bass is good for beginners... just find myself picking it up more and for $60 you cant beat it....
SAve money, buy a Uke Bass if you really want to. Best option, short scale Electric bass with a Blackstar Micro Fly Bass, simples, light loud and easy to travel with.
You need a different picking technique, rather double bass style. Then it will be louder and sound better - but it's exhausting and much slower. Especially using flatwounds which sound really better.
Expensive models like the Czech Furch and especially the German Stoll are loud enough to compete with the 6string acoustic at the campfire. But you do not want to bring a >3000$ guitar to a campfire.
So, the only reason I kept mine: I just take it from the wall and play a quick tune. No pluggin in of cables, no warmin up the amp's tubes. Perfectly loud when you are alone at home. And of course it has a unique sound.
Although every thing you say might have sense, acoustic sounds are always special when it’s a thing that you are really into it. It’s a matter of taste sort of speaking
I find you can get a better Warmer acoustic sound from a Hofner ignition. I just wish they weren’t so “Beatle” looking. If they looked more like an EB1, I think they’d be less stigma.
I have that exact bass and you couldn't have picked a better one to make your claim. But I have played a Martin, and there is a huge difference. Just saying
That Ibanez bass is probably the worst one you could own
Is that the Ibanez? I have the Chinese Ashton copy..... I find it handy for busking or visiting others as it's much lighter than a bloody great amplifier to lug around!
I play bass an have a dean acustic lefty I luv. slide your right arm down the body till the crook of your elbow rests on the corner of the body and your fingers rest over the strings. proceed to jam..
Acoustic bass is made for you to pull on it
Well honestly and very honest... Yes they are quiet.. But bassist are just that.. We are quiet.. We dont play crazy solos and riffs. We are rhythm players. But here the thing. I like the sound of the warm deep tones. And i like an "electric acoustic bass" because you can amplify the "acoustic" sound. U know that boxy wooden sound. Same way i like the "electric acoustic guitar"
So... Half Rounds and a magnetic - Mic pickup. But also playing in your bedroom and recording. If you buy a Jumbo bodied like my DB44 Denver.. It barks. The real downside to ABG is the piezo. Interestingly enough I use my Bluetooth speaker as my amp when I'm out and it has 2 2" speakers and it really does make all the difference to being heard. And a compression pedal in between really pushes it all forward.
They may not be loud enough, but I think for stuff like gospel, or folk. They’ll be just fine... however listen to this guy because you don’t wanna play this in a high-school band because you WILL get drowned out a lot of time... like a viola😂
You just save me like 50 (in Argentinian Pesos) :P jajaja ... why the acoustic bass its so quiet? :(
This video and argument doesn't really matter anyway because even if you plug in the A/E Bass, it'll still have it's own different tone from the regular electric cause of the nature of the instrument. A/E Basses just have a different tone because of their construction and I've looked, and prices for New quality for price basses are around the price of a couple A/E's. Get whatever bass you want lads and go with that, cause you're gonna have to pay more for amplification anyway.
Just buy a Kala ubass with a wireless connection to a small battery powered amp. It's an ideal tiny rig that will be heard around the campfire.
this guy literally looks like Krist Novoselic
how about you use one to accompany someone in a campsite? I can't imagine bringing an electric bass with an amp and a battery just to play or even worse an expensive upright bass
i play for pleasuring myself musically so low sound not an issue i do however like the heads up. many times i play unplugged
I didnt know acoustic bass exist i though electric bass exist only
Thumbs up for mentioning road tripping by the RHCP
I own several. Michael Taylor fretless has great standup like tone but yes not load enough in a an acoustic setting. My fretted Furch is loud enough in acoustic setting. I use a rubber f hole blocker for amplified performance to block feedback….. of course I own 8 basses and my options are many.
Thanks boss...I think you just may have saved me a ton of wasted money
Josh Maier you know this video isn't valid with just personal opinion information? I suggest check those basses out bro
Yea...I get that, but I agree with his point of view after I borrowed my buddies acoustic bass for a gig and encountered several of the problems he describes in the vid...
I thought it was just my shitty playing (could be a big part of it) but it makes sense that an acoustic bass just isn't practical in the same sense that a standard acoustic 6 string would be
So... Anyone have an opinion about possibly a resonator acoustic bass guitar?
Nothing personal to anyone that likes them but i think they totally suck, they are too big, they sound like shit, the strings slapping on the frets sounds terrible, i had one and couldn't wait to get rid of it, i'll stick with my warwick .
so it really just is the same differences with electric and acoustic guitars
acoustics are bigger, thicker necks, can cut off circulation, not as loud, cheaper.
we are not that different, you and i
What bass is that - producer, model? Thanx
Solution : Buy a Ukulele Bass for camp fire and acoustic jam on the grass
I just bought that bass today. You said EXACTLY what is true about an acoustic bass. I bought it for those reasons. AN Acoustic bass in not possible as you state. I play a fretless. I bought it today for $110 free shipping. I live down the street from Taylor Guitars, even that acoustic bass is lifeless. The Mexicans have a big body bass but NO neck to speak of. Scheesh
you need to play the string with POWER heuehsusu jk pluck it
you can strum it a little harder you know, you dont have to feather strum it like an electric.
I took the easy route and bought an MP3 player with bass tracks and i dont have to buy a guitar or amp.
Title: Should I buy acoustic bass
:me in my head he already bought one
I’m here in 2020 and I think seriously to buy one bass acoustic guitar
I'd say a benefit to own one is if you live in an apartment. I live in one and what I can say is it is really convenient cause it doesn't wake anyone up and it's not a hassle to carry around. Get an acoustic bass if you really are in a situation where you live in an apartment or just want to practice in your room any time!
I too live in an apartment. I would not use my acoustic bass guitar there for practising, but rather my electric one and headphones.
So you get an electric bass 🙄
I disagree . I cant put mine down. Its just so much fun to play.
I've been playing electric bass for a little over a year, I recently bought an acoustic electric bass (around 4/5 days ago) and I have to agree, it is pretty quiet fingerstyle, however if you want a loud sound you should be playing with a pick on acoustic bass. I only play fingerstyle on electric. I do find that I still get drowned out by an acoustic guitar in some cases but most of the time if I'm using a pick it's fine.
If only that were true: th-cam.com/video/sOtU4Zg9jKI/w-d-xo.html
