I have not used it much with an amp. I did notice however, when I did, that you have to stay away from the amp, or you'll get feedback. But I guess that is pretty much standar for any of this type of pickup.Just playing it unplugged is what I bought it for, and it is GREAT. Wonderfull sound, easy to play neck, easy to get up high on the fretboard.It is a wonderfull guitar!

This thing is flawless! Great wood Great fit of pieces, Great sound, Great finish, Nice strings,I like everything about it.Years ago, I had a Guild acoustic bass-I hated it. It was hard to play, way too thick, and did have much loudness, AND it cost 1000.00. This thing only cost me 185.bucks. It is a way better guitar than that Guild ever was. Great volume on this compared to that Guild, and much easier to play. So much better of a neck!

A nice solid, well made, easy playing, loud , and beautiful, wood fit and finish, all for 185 bucks!! How can a guy go wrong. Did not have a neck side strap button, But I put my own on, and it is well balanced with one, so who knows why they don't. I suppose that is just traditional on alot of acoustics.

Have e-mailed them, and got a response from the main importer, but never heard a word from any distributor, who they said would contact me. But who cares, I was just going to tell them how much I like it , and was going to check on buying one of their electric basses.Not beacuse of any problems with this acoustic model.

I've been playing over 35 years, and have owned tons of stuff, but have downsized alot, because I'm too damn old to carry it all anymore.I would definately buy another one of these, I love everything about this bass. I would recommend one to everyone!!
