Here is an excerpt from the Bass Quarterly test on the topic of sound.

The Sound:
Unplugged: Well, that already sounds completely different from my "conventional" Aku bass. The bass sounds like a bass, sounds like a bass, sounds like a bass… What you hear here has depth, dynamics, and volume. This bass can hold its own against an acoustic guitar. The sound is warm and defined, and definitely leans more towards a double bass than an electric bass.

Just to be clear: Of course, this bass doesn't have the volume of a double bass; the laws of physics prevent that. However, this instrument leaves guitars that have been converted into basses far behind, both sonically and visually. In addition, I think Stoll Guitars has created a new instrument category here, which can be used in terms of frequency range both as a bass and as a solo instrument – in other words, it's very versatile.

Amplified: The cable is plugged into the lower strap button, then the amplifier is set, and everything is good. The sun rises! What you hear is a bassy, full-bodied, transparent sound that can handle any bass role. The bass actually sounds more natural than any piezo pickup I've ever experienced. There's hardly any high-frequency emphasis in the frequency range; it's simple and balanced. The promised feedback resistance is also true; you can easily hold your own in a band setting – although the laws of physics still apply. The instrument is sensitive to nuances of attack, allowing for very dynamic playing. I don't miss tone controls at all, and my amp remains set to neutral. A perfect instrument.
