This forum always comes through for me. I host open mic events (Invalid Link Removed) and most of the presentations use acoustic guitars and sometimes I get off the MC chair and accompany them. I'd like to get an acoustic bass, but have some concerns about feedback, sound, playability. There...

I'd like your feedback on this question. I've played some wonderful instruments at lofty prices, own and play a much beloved Carvin B 40 and a G & L L-2000 and recommend both highly. My question is a little more subjective than the best bass you've ever played as opposed to dollar for dollar...
