That's an 'electro-acoustic', so if you want a true acoustic it just won't cut it.

I have no idea if that bass is any good - but some of the g*it*rs look quite extraordinary (literally!) for the money.

The basses are the ususal unimaginative afterthoughts. Sidelined [i]again[/i]...

Bollocks is that an electro-acoustic. That's a leccy bass through and through, no chance in hell of that having any acoustic applications.

Well it won't feedback (which electro/acoustics often do) but you won't be able to adjust the intonation (should it need it)with that type of bridge. I would have thought the main benefit of that design is that you can pack it up small and possibly ( although it does not say) play it through headphones. You'll still need to put it through an amp so no advantage over a sold bodied bass. If you do a search others have bought similar skeleton/silent basses Aria ? so their comments could be useful...
