bumfrog Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hello Just a thought really. Looks like our band is going to start doing some acoustic gigs. Either way, I'm wondering if it's worth bothering with an acoustic bass. 9 out of 10 of the gigs is going to be plugged in to the pa, so it would have to be an electro acoustic. So I was thinking I may as well just stick some flatwounds on a spare electric and turn the tone down a bit. Does anybody have any other ideas. I mean Ideally I'd like to go for something like that status electro that was on here a while ago but don't want to spend that much, so if anybody has any alternatives they can suggest I would be most appreciative Or, should I just stump up and buy and electro acoustic? Over to you ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 considering most electo acoustic basses sound no different to an electric, i wouldn't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I usually play my NS upright or an ashbory for acoustic gigs. Also my mustang with TI324 flats does the job well through a small amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
