it probably sounds like crap because there is no room for reverberation. it probably sounds like an unplugged electric bass guitar.

i have one of these basses with a faux wood finish painted on it. a friend in seattle uses his professionally as it tends to resonate better and clearer than most wooden bodied basses including some in the high end bracket.

is there a video of one of these posted somewhere, being played? Or sound clips? I’ve always been curious to hear what they’re like. Great pic, thanks.
