Hi all,
I've been thinking about learning to play a bass lately. Saturday night I went to a concert where one of the girls was playing a Dean acoustic bass (through a board) and that pushed me over the edge, so I started looking for one.
I've come across a Guild B4E for what seems to be a reasonable price but was wondering - what are the collective thoughts of this wonderful and knowledgeable group (obvious pandering :wink: about that particular instrument? How does it sound, both acoustically and plugged in? Can it hold it's own in a group when not amplified? What's the current value of one?
I've done the search thing here on the forum; also looked up the specs in Beesley's book, (no pictures), but there's nothing that says "yea" or nay" about it.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I have no experience with a bass, so my mind is a blank slate about them.
TIA,
Jeff
