Ugh!).
Kind of getting "itchy" for it, but too bad.
Been through several boards and posed the same questions. Getting the feeling that stringing it may be,,,, interesting.
Not much input coming in and nobody appears to have one they are ready to comment on or they're just not on the net right now.
I'm going to have to go the old "find out" route I guess with thin/thick, slinky/stif, brass/bronze/nickle, round/ground/flat etc.
But I did get a couple suggestions that make sence for starting points.
Think I'll start with EXP bronze and since the B string is the concern, I'll play with that particular srting (if need be) instead of changing ($$$) complete sets all the time. (I thought that was a good idea offered from anouther board)

I only play electric bass, as well, but have been drooling over some acoustic basses. Sounds like you may have found the best of both worlds in your Dragonfly! Enjoy! :D]]> Bass Players Discussion Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-218563 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-218422 Mon, 01 Jan 2007 16:46:35 +0000 Bass Players Discussion pearlthekat https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-218422 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-218394 Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:21:34 +0000
2) If you like you bass, you made a "doable" choice.

I have only just recently gotten into bass (a month or two) and only currently own an electric:

But I greatly desire to acquire an acoustic, especially now that my good jamming buddy and I have been writing a lot of acoustic material (with an acoustic guitar and electric bass :roll: :shock: )

3) Lets see/hear some pictures/sound clips of that beauty! :wink:]]> Bass Players Discussion Nexion https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-218394 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-22924 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 04:59:28 +0000 Scouting about the bass forums I see little to no mention of Acoustical bass' and wonder if I'd went nuts on a recent purchase?
While scouting about I came across 3 that struck my fancy. After considerable procrastination I bought one.
Most of my interest is just old fashion personal entertainment. My days of "Banding" have past by.
I really like what I hear on recordings like Kitaro (& New Age), old style cowboy, British Folk, hillbilly & bluegrass (not to mention the 60's and 70's sounds).
My choice ended up being a Mike Kelly 5TBK Dragonfly, 5 string Acoustic / Electric bass. While still having my old 100 watt Randall for an amp, most my playing will probably be unpluged (helps to keep the neighbors pacified when I get home from work at 1:30 AM).
So the question is, did I make a "doable" choice? ANY input or thoughts wouldbe appreciated. I realize most (all?) of you out there appear totally electric, but thought maybe there's some acoustical / elect experienced players lurking here.]]> Bass Players Discussion Brass Nut https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/new-member-w/#post-22924
