Since it's considered as a Acoustic-Electric... How so? I mean Acoustic wise? Does it even sound loud enough to practice? And is a jack for headsets?

I'm really not sure how it's considered an acoustic electric. It's not very loud without being plugged into an amp, mainly because it's lacking a sound chamber. My recomendation would be to get a small amp which you could clip on. And to answer the other question. No it does not have a headphone jack. To solve that i would recomend buying a headphone amp to use. To summarize this, the guitar is rather quiet without being plugged in, and does not include a headphone jack. But it is small and very light.

READ THE REVIEWS This particular model comes with acoustic strings, and if you plug into an "acoustic" amplifier, or use a modeling pedal/pod with an acoustic option, it DOES sound like a typical acoustic/electric. There is a model with a Stethescope with hollow tubes so you can actually listen to the guitar (louder) without the need for a headphone amp or combo amp. It has a 1/4 jack that you plug in a VOX AmpPlug or similar headphone amp.

I practice with it all the time in Acoustic mode. It is very quiet compared to a normal Acoustic Guitar. In fact the other day I picked up a normal Acoustic and was blow away by how loud it was because I'm so used to this traveler guitar. But, I still love this guitar. I don't mind that it's quiet. It's great to practice when other people in house are sleeping. (not sure about jack for headsets, I never use it that way.)

I have a Yamaha Acoustic with pickup and it works great on the acoustic mode. I have tried it on the Bass mode and it seems to give it a more mellow, deeper tone. I'm assuming an upright acoustic or mariachi-style bass with pickups would sound OK. Plus, you can use all the other effects and really find some interesting tones. Take your bass to a nearby music dealer and try it.

I like mine. It performs well and, in my opinion, it's worth the money. However, if you're expecting the kind of sound described in your question, I think you are going to have to spend more money for something more powerful. Good luck.

I run the blended pickup signal (humbucker and piezo) into an electric amp and it sounds great. The acoustic sound is definitely a "piezo sound" in that it sounds reasonably acoustic-like, but it's not the same as mic'ing a plain old acoustic guitar.I play a mostly clean tone and it works really well for me- if you start kicking in lots of gain or distortion, the piezo pickup can respond in odd ways.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

This ues a standard 1/4" Jack lilke all electric guitars and profesonal mikes, ear phones. You can get an adapter to go to the 1/8" Jack like you find on mp3 players and so on. and yes it sounds good. I have played music on it form my cell phone and it will blow you out of the house

It is an acoustic guitar and does not have a port or any pickups and hence cannot be amplified electrically. You can however add a microphone to the guitar body if you like. That apart if the people gathered are quiet. They should be able to hear no problems. You might consider a larger bodied metallic strings acoustic guitar though, if you just want to strum along with songs. :) Hope this helps.

I am using mine with a solid body electric guitar. I see no reason why it won't work with an acoustic electric.

Yes, it's been a great little practice amp for me and my boys. For a couple more bucks my buddy bought the next model up which includes a jack for microphone. I'd get that one if i were buying another.

The bass is acceptable, at least to me. It won't reproduce the 20 Hz organ note of "Also Sprach Zarathustra", but that's true of most headsets (the 20 Hz note is cut off in an mp3 anyway). The frequency response is fairly flat (which is what I prefer), so the bass doesn't "boom" and "stick out" over everything else. "New Age" electronic/instrumental music (my personal favorite) sounds wonderful on this headset.

yes the sound is great both acoustically and electric, in my view, good pickup, i am plugged into small practice amp, musician for years, play at coffee shop

Yes, Wosto, sorry but you need an amp. It should not be advertised as an acoustic-electric at all. Having said that, it's a great guitar (with an amp). I bought a Roland Cube (4W) - absolutely perfect, lots of sound effects, runs on electricity or 6 x AA batteries, volume adjustment is great for living room or street busking, and can sling over your other shoulder.

If you mean an electric/acoustic, like a semi hollow or hollow body, it will not add any sound past your headphones. It can't hide any acoustic sound, but you can add significant volume to your headphones to get a decent electric sound. I often practice with this device with my jazz bass to stop my wife from going crazy.

You can play it without an amp or with one. That is the good thing about acoustic electric instruments. Acoustically, it still sounds pretty good, too.

If you mean an upright, almost definitely not. If you mean like a mariachi bass, maybe. But I wouldn't bet on it. The mobile cube is a very small box, so I wouldn't recommend anyone buy it expecting rich and complex bass reproduction. Simple, percussive or electronic bass is fine through the cube, but when I think "acoustic" I think of a much more complex sound quality. I used to play electric bass, and it would not even occur to me to plug my Gibson into the cube. Maybe I'll give it try, though. I suppose I might be surprised. I'll report back here again if there's anything worth reporting.

What size is the outlet jack? I know this audio jack is smaller than that of the headset outlet on a PC and therefore would not work. If it is smaller than that of a PC it would work fine.

No, it's acoustic. No input jack is needed as it's not and electric/amplified instrument.
