chrisd24 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I played on one of these a little while ago and was amazed by the projection, volume and clarity of it played purely acoustically. After playing on a few acoustics over the years i had just always excepted that they were only ever any good if they semi acoustic and plugged in but now i really want one....the only problem being that this being a martin the price tag was a little out of my range. My question is that is there any acoustic basses out there in the more budget price range with actual volume played acoustically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think tanglewood were a cheap & cheerful brand, but this one oozes quality. Its well worth the £359 current price at DV247, but I managed to get an ex-demo one from ebay for £230.
