I played one a couple years back because I was looking for a nicer-than-common acoustic bass and I already own an MIA Victor Bailey Jazz so I thought it would be a perfect complement. I was not very impressed by its thinnish tone or low unplugged volume but the neck played quite well. Really well, in fact. The smallish body size was comparatively comfortable but also presumably the reason I didn't care for the sound. I didn't try it plugged in because if I'm going to plug in I already have a Victor Bailey bass for that.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I've not played that particular model, but my bro-in-law has a fender acoustic bass like a jumbo shaped one, and it is really nice very different and interesting tones. And you still can acheive those classic muffled bass tones with the treble and mids reduced. I like to get my Violent Femmes on with it 8) . The only problem is, if the volume is way up and you've got the bass settings primarily pumped up prepare for some unrelenting feedback.
Even though I had a planet waves feedback buster put on it, the feedback doesn't let up because the body itself is so resonant, not a problem though if you've got some good distance between you and the amp . And playing it just unplugged isn't very practical if your doing an acoustic jam with other people unless you hit the strigs hard with a pick but chances are they're going to be louder than you, ulessyou're plugged in. They really are fun though, and that particular one you've pulled up is beautiful with the cedar-ish looking natural finish(I play a black one........snore). And the fact that its a Dreadnought with a cut-away is really awesome! :)

Does anyone think they'll gain value because the quality seams extremely high with beautiful binding up the neck and the fact that they were a shorter run than some? I really have'nt played many acoustic basses but was really impressed with the feel of the neck and it looks amazing, and kind of bought it based on that and the fact that it was priced to move after christmas.Kind of feels like i scored so...anyway...
Got it hanging on a hercules hanger on the living room wall. its bloody gorgeous and handy when anyone starts playin , just grab it off the wall and ba-boom boom boom, you're jammin 8)
