5.0 out of 5 stars
By far the best acoustic bass I have ever played, November 9, 2009
This review is from: Boulder Creek EBR3-N4 Acoustic-Electric 4-String Bass (Electronics)
The Boulder Creek bass is by far the best acoustic bass I have ever played. I have never played a Tocoma Thunder Chief (widely regarded as one of the best acoustic basses) but I have played most of the usual suspects like Martin, Dean, Ibanez, Michael Kelly, Takamine. This bass has huge tone and the whole body just sings when you play. The side sound hole is great but really the whole thing just sings in all directions so I don't find myself hunching over the guitar to get a clear sense of what I am playing. It came strung with DAddario Nickel Wound Electric stings and even with electric stings it was much louder and better sounding than other bass I have played. I have Thomastik-Infeld Acousticoreson it now (If you have not tried acousticores do some research on them they are soft to the touch and a have a wonderful and unique bass tone) and it is truly a joy to play. I have not had the opportunity to jam with a guitarist yet but it seems that with the DAddarios on it I would have no problem keeping up with a guitar, and even with the Acouticores I think it could keep up. Though I might have to play with a pick.
This beautiful guitar has excellent craftsmanship and I find the natural finish very attractive. I really can not say enough good things about this bass it truly is an addictive joy to play. I love it!
