The amplified sound is rich and warm as well

I definitely recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a great bass/acoustic/fretless sound.

This A5 gives me a very nice acoustic bass tone, not full on acoustic tone, more a very nice fretless, woody tone.

It _does_ have an acoustic pickup, as well as electric; there _is_ a resonance chamber (the sound hole is visible above the neck on the body in the picture); and you can mix the electric and acoustic outputs as you see it, onboard the instrument itself

But it's not a pure electric, either

This is an instrument that is informed less by metal or rock and more by a modern trad sensibility - and the trad of eastern Canada specifically

It's not well suited for very loud situations, since the strings and top tend to feed back easily at high volume

The piezo/magnetic pickup combination is flexible and well-suited to the instrument (I can't comment on the synth interface since I haven't tried it)

Equalizer works well

and I like the more narrow body width than the jumbo

Until then, I'd been mostly playing a 1962 Klira fiddle hollow-body bass, which I'd in fact made playable after it had been stored improperly for a long time

It was about 7 bills, nice bass, good tone.

My only complaint, aside from the feedback, is the need for a string retainer at the headstock for the low B string, which rattled a bit when played open until I added a retainer
