Well it’s a doozy. Obviously it doesn’t quite have the build quality of my ACGs but you know what? It’s lighter, easier to play with the thin, fast neck, the D’Addario flatwounds are nice and comfortable. I often bang on about basses being ‘tools of work’ and how boutique basses make you worry about dinging them or taking them out to play live whereas I’d not mind getting a ding in this. I started out (in the later second part of my bass playing life) playing a £400ish Fender Jazz Modern Player, which I was completely happy with until I joined BC and was infected with a) GAS and b) the idiotic search for the ‘perfect’ bass, well I’m going back to basses I’m not so precious about. I’ve got an Ibanez SRC6, love the neck, now I’ve got the SRH500, love the neck. I will probably consult @Woodinblack in depth about more SR basses as I now have fretted and fretless acoustic basses, that acoustic sound being very much a cornerstone of the music we play in our duo, but I do need an electric bass with a wide range of tones and the SR neck. I’ll probably sell both the ACGs and go back to playing tools (that sounds wrong) rather than works of wooden art.
Back to your original question, yes, it’s a lovely bass. As with most acoustic basses it should be called an ‘acoustic’ bass because it isn’t loud enough acoustically to keep up with an acoustic guitar and singer but plugged in it has a lovely tone and with the help of the Stomp it’s delicious.
