[quote name='mrcrow' post='583561' date='Aug 28 2009, 02:08 PM'] on amazon at £99 i havent had an electro/acoustic but from what i have been told...playing acoustically is really not a good option against other amplified instruments so what might be the real consideration is the sound via the electro part...this could be the let down from what i have learnt the better acoustics are more highly priced to get good sound from them and i suspect the electrics equally are of a better quality good luck and WELCOME!!..musnt forget our manners cheers[/quote] Thanks McCrow and Neepheid for your thoughts (and the welcome ) - yes I know what you mean about unplugged basses and how they sound actually unplugged - they rarely cut through when playing with other instruments do they. I think you would always need a little amp when everything else is totally unplugged. It's not so much to save on a bass amp, more that it would be played with other acoustic, folky instruments so it would be more in keeping with the overall group. Perhaps I will also look out for a better quality second hand one.

Hello there, I'm hoping someone more in the know might be able to help - I'm looking for an inexpensive acoustic bass - for a hundred pounds or under - obviously I know I'm not going to get anything spectacular sound wise at this price - all I'm really concerned about is a cut away and a nice easy action for a beginner. Has anyone ever come across a Lindo acoustic bass? are they playable? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks, Rosie xxx
