Electo-acoustic bass

[orangepeelneil]

[size=3]Hello everyone,

I'm after a Electro-acoustic bass, never owned one before but need one for some gig's I'm going to be playing.


I have a Tanglewood TW-145SC acoustic guitar which I really like so may consider that brand.


What do I look out for in a semi acoustic bass? Is it the same stuff as an acoustic guitar?


My Tanglewood has a solid spruce top, Grover tuners and a nice Finnish B-Band active EQ system.



Any recommendations or experiences are greatly welcomed.

Cheers Neil

The Michael Kelly and the Crafter both give pleasing results. Are you going for fretless or fretted. IMHO I can see the point of the fretless but less so for the fretted.

I've had a Crafter for a while.....it's really cool,but I've got my
eye on the new Fender Kingman.
