I'm learning to play the bass now. I'm really an acoustic guitar player, with the focus on being a singer-songwriter so I'm not an advanced guitar player either. But I have several songs where I have struggled to get a bass line that fits, so I have realized I have to learn to play it myself (playing on a keyboard is not an option). I have tried full length basses before, and I actually have an Ibanez full length acoustic bass as well, but I find them hard to play on. But this parlor-sized acoustic bass... what a dream! :) It's so fun playing on it, and even after just a few days I'm starting to get a true grip on how to get some "funky bass" on my own songs.
This acoustic bass is so comfortable playing, looks really good, as is of good quality. It sounds good plugged-in as well. Before ordering this from Thomann I played the Taylor GS Mini bass as well some more expensive Ibanzez small body acoustic basses in the local music stores, but as I'm not a bass player (yet) I felt I wanted to start with something cheaper, so I ordered this. And as I have written, I just love it! :)
