Ibanez EWB10ASE Exotic Wood Acoustic-Electric BassSound and playability are the two most important components in an instrument. But very few will deny that a standout visual aspect enhances your performance. The appearance and sound of the unique Exotic Wood Series were designed for the player who is looking for a completely new and different voice. You won’t find anything else quite like the EW guitars — even among guitars that are much more expensive. In 2007, the EW family expands once more with new sonic and visual colors. The new, more compact member of Exotic Wood family, the EWC, features a body that’s smaller in size and shallower in depth than the original EW’s for increased comfort and acoustic projection.

User Reviews:
Feature:
Built in tuner and equalizer are very useful.Also came with truss rod wrench.

Quality:
Tuning peg on the A string out of alignment with other 3 Pegs. (very noticeable) Also tooling marks on back of neck. Had it not been for these cosmetic Flaws, This bass would have easily rated a 10+.

Value:
Its definitely a nice bass, so yes its worth the price.

Desirability:
Awsome Looks, this bass is without doubt beautiful.

Sound:
Nice sound, but lacks sustain. Built in equalizer is great!

Ease of Use:
Very easy to play,smaller size of body and neck design are exellent.Use of equalizer is simple.

Support:
Haven’t dealt with this company Yet!

Overall:
As long as it holds up, or until I find (or can afford) somthing better.

Epiphone El Capitan IV Acoustic-Electric Bass

Epiphone El Capitan IV Acoustic-Electric BassThe great thing about the acoustic-electric bass is that you can practice without an amp. Work on your tone acoustically then plug you bass into an amp. You will experience the fat, punchy tone that every player desires. The best of both the electrical and acoustical world come together in these basses from Epiphone. The El Capitan has a bound Maple body, 34 in. scale set Maple neck with a bound Rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays, and Chrome hardware. The versatile Epiphonic-6 pickup provides tone every bit as good, if not better than the bass on its own! This instrument will cover Rock, Bluegrass, Jazz, Polka, you name it!

User Reviews:
Feature:
Battery compartment a little tough to get into, but pre-amp works well.

Desirability:
It works for what I need it for. It is a large instrument, so make sure you can carry it onstage.

Sound:
very woody, deep and rich. stays in tune well. As with most acoustic/electric basses, you will need an amp if you are doing anything more than practicing by yourself. I run it through a Hartke Kickback 12, and it sounds wonderful.

Ease of Use:
very playable. you are not going to be burning up the frets, but this is the wrong instrument for that!

Support:
Never dealt with Epiphone.

Overall:
I bought this one based on price and availability…they had it at the local store. Wife talked me into it. I love playing it. I am going to use it until it won’t work anymore. Not sure what I will do then.

Fender BG31 Acoustic-Electric BassThe Fender BG31 Acoustic bass is a fanstastic deal. Acoustic basses are becoming an essential part of many different musical styles, and the Fender BG31 is a great addition to any bass rig.

Feature:
Mine did not include accessories at all, I had to purchase everything else separately. (polish, case, cords, battery) Also, it came strung with heavy gague round wounds, which are absolutely abysmal and transmit all kinds of string noise. I changed them to light gague nylon flat wounds, and the action improved greatly. I also wish I had gotten one with the cutaway. The symmetrical body is pretty, but I do a fair bit of soloing, and have had to re-finger a number of songs because I couldn’t reach the upper 8 frets. AND I had to add my own upper strap button.

Quality:
So far, I have been pleased with the quality of the instrument. The battery runs down quickly (I have to unplug between sets, and a battery rarely lasts more than one gig). The only cosmetic issue I have is that it looks like the head was drilled for a 6-string then filled and re-drilled for a 4.

Value:
This is my 4th bass, and my favorite. I also have a Hondo II, a Yamaha long-scale and a Guild fretless. I also got a better deal on it than on the others.

Sound:
I bought this to use in acoustical, un-amped settings, and the sound and balance (with my wife’s guitar) are perfect. Solid low-end with enough overtone to not sound mushy. When I amp I play through a 1969 Ampeg v2 (eat your heart out :) ) and it still sounds great. Amped it is very touchy, and the Fishman picks up everything, even my sloppy changes and thupms on the body.
