I've played a couple "acoustic bass guitars", they did indeed sound poorly. I forget the name of the Mexican guitar-like bass, but McCabe's (in LA) sold quite a few of those when buyers realized how much better they sounded than the $$$ Dreadnaught-style basses. I think you're right about the resonant characteristics. In truth, the sound itself wasn't so bad, it just carried about two feet and just died there. No projection worth a damn. Maybe a good sound in studio though ? Best, dp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
