What does the bass sound like acoustically?

It sounds more hollow body than solid body. Very warm and soulful sound. Not a lot of high end of the pickups, but the low end resonates instead of rattles. I own vintage Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender basses, as well as a Schecter, and this is the bass I use most often as I play more often in soul and blues settings .... I would suggest replacing the nut with a bone nut, but outside of that, it unpacks ready to go. Only downside, it is very neck heavy, so the right strap is crucial.

boomy, mellow, no highs, very specific sound not to be used as an all around bass. very smooth, great for country, blues, even bluegrass, just no bite or fender sound at all. use with ampeg amp. or straight into board, very quiet.

an acoustic-electric is designed (by way of its electronics, string-type, hollow body, etc.) to sound like an acoustic when played through an amp on a clean channel. of course if you hook up effects or crank the distortion you'll get a version of those sounds, too, only it'll come out very differently-- generally not in a good way-- than what you're used to hearing from a standard electric.

Good Morning Mike,You have the option of either playing it as an Acoustic or Electric . When it is not being used with an Amp it has Deep Rich Sound and is an awesome piece of Musical Equipment. When it is Plugged into an amp you have a wide range of different Sound that you can Achieve such as Distortion and Overdrive for that Heavy Metal moment when you want, or with a few tweaks of the onboard controls you can have a Clean Classic Bass Sound and even a slapping Funk Sound as well. The Pick up in this Guitar is indeed an awesome one. this is a Bass that you will come to love and will indeed become your Favorite Guitar..

You would have to hear it for yourself... the extra bass is more pronounced. It's hard to verbalize the sound difference. You would have to listen to the same song with each.

The bass is nothing great, but sufficient enough. Your source also makes a difference, plugged into my android listening to Pandora, meh. Plugged into my iPod nano,...whoa yea!

Yes.But the sound is just not good not bad.Too much bass and sound is lacking details.

Unfortunately, it's pretty thin. Even if it's loud enough to hear it, and the mega bass feature is on -- the low end is weak, and the sound is not terribly clear.

As you know this guitar is a thin version. The bass sound is not as good as normal guitar in playing chords. But it's better than normal guitar when you play finger style; playing by notes.

Depends on music type. The bass is nice. Electronic music sounds real nice. Rock/metal could use some work.

The bass is phat! You don't need an amp as long as you are playing from a decent source (iPod, etc.)

I'm happy with the acoustics, I use in a medium to small room, the high sounds are nice! My high is at level 10, too high going up. Maybe what you are looking for. Best wishes & enjoy!

No, it does not. It is louder than a solid-body, but doesn't sound anything like an acoustic. To get that sound you will need either an acoustic-electric (looks like an acoustic) or a guitar with a piezo pickup.

Not as loud, definitely not an acoustic guitar. It has electric guitar strings

No, being a solid body there is very little sound. I use a $20 Honeytone amp as a monitor. The headphones & onboard amp sounds ok, seems to overdrive while playing double stops.

I think the jazz & classical will sound pure with these; if you want tangible bass though, this is not the headphones for you.
