Anyone out there with any experience? I'm looking for something in the $400 at most range and all I've played for the past 5 years is a Fender Mexican P-Bass so I really don't need something amazing to sound decent to me. I'm looking for a full report from you mccready...if you have any info to help me out. Thanks guys.

    I'm afraid this is an area that I'm not much help on. Acoustic bass guitars aren't exactly an afficionato's market. I'd probably just go with a Fender, Takamine, or Washburn. I once looked at a Tacoma acoustic bass guitar that was pretty sweet.

    The biggest problem (for me) is that piezo pickups sound pretty cheesy on an acoustic bass guitar. Out of all the plugged-in A/E basses I've heard, the Guild that Krist Novoselic used for Nirvana's Unplugged was a really great sound. But I'm not sure if that had Guild-installed electronics, or a retro-fit.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
