Breedlove Atlas Solo BJ350/CM4 Fretless Acoustic Electric Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been playing bass on-and-off for about 20 years and this bass is, without a doubt, the best I've ever owned. Upon receiving it, I immediately changed the roundwound strings it came with to Fender stainless steel flatwounds and that was it. It feels great and the tone sounds beautiful when jamming. Comes with a heavy duty hardshell case.
I can't say enough good things about this bass and I highly recommend it.

Dean Tradition Acoustic Guitar, Exotic Birds Eye Maple Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been playing my "Dean Tradition Acoustic Guitar, Exotic Birds Eye Maple" ever since I received it this evening; I've taken a break to upload some pictures and write an initial review.
It is a very attractive instrument...well-constructed with nice details...and has decent action & volume...its pitch is somewhat bright, which I like, as it provides a contrast to my warmer cedar-top Seagull.
Here are Dean's specifications, directly from their web site:
"TRADITION EXOTIC
* Solid Spruce Top
* 5 Body Types Available (see below)
* 25-1/2" Scale
* Mahogany Neck
* Rosewood Fingerboard
* Pearl Dot Inlays
* Sealed Die Cast Tuners
* Celluloid Binding
* Woodcut Mosaic Rosette
* Finishes: Birds Eye Maple, Mapa Burl, Lacewood, Zebra, Quilted Ash"
I believe that the Birds Eye Maple covering the sides/back is a veneer over a mahogany underlayment.
Generally, the guitar was finished with good attention to detail: the only undesireable things that stood out to me [but were not 'deal-breakers' and may not matter as much to other folks] are:
* a few flecks & chips of wood embedded in the gloss finish
* the veneer is not aligned well [ie, the Birds Eye pattern is not matched up closely on the sides...I'm posting a photo to explain better].
* of more importance...at least, to me, since I initially ordered my guitar based on Amazon's "Product Features," which, as of this writing states "Machine Heads: Grover"...is that this guitar DOES NOT have "Grover" machine heads. It apparently has ones made by "Ping" [this is what I was told when I contacted Dean...and I also asked them why more than one website says "Grover" but they couldn't tell me]. If anyone is really hankering for Grovers, they'll probably have to plan on spending at least $50 to upgrade...just an FYI.
My pictures that I uploaded to the gallery will tell the rest of the story...excuse me while I get back to playing my new baby ;-)

There's a bit of treble but its great for the money. It's a great sounding guitar and
sounds phenomenal plugged or unplugged.Obviously it's not going to sound like a Taylor or Martin
but for someone with a budget this is perfect. Tuner is great and deffinitely handy.

Dean Exotica Quilt Ash Acoustic-Electric Trans Guitar, Cherryburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Cherryburst color a month ago. The guitar looks stunning, more red than in the photo. The electronics are very good, sounds great straight through an amp. I went shopping at local stores fro something inexpensive since I'm not a player, I'm just learning. Beginner guitars, even used were starting at around $190. I bought mine for $241 here on Amazon. I think it was a steal. GUitar Center has these fro $399. It's well worth spending $349.

Boulder Creek EBR3-N4F Acoustic-Electric 4-String Fretless Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have searched far and wide for an acoustic bass that has good tone, volume, clarity and warmth. These basses have all four. I really just love these basses, the tone is just fantastic. The volume is way way better than other basses I have tried, largely due to the suspended bracing that lets the top move like a speaker cone. You can get a lot of volume if you really dig in, but it also has a great dynamic range you can get great tone playing soft and the harder you dig in the bigger the tone. These basses really sing and are a pleasure to play. They are by far the best I have found for less than $1000. Highly Highly recommended.

Offering a combination of traditional materials and high-tech design, this fretless 4-string acoustic-electric bass guitar from Boulder Creek (model EBR3-N4F) enables you to hear your playing without plugging it in. The side port on the top projects the deep tones from the body directly to the player while the additional front port shoots the low frequencies towards the audience. When plugged in, it keeps the same natural tone with much less feedback than other acoustic electric basses.
All Boulder Creek guitars feature solid tops, solid backs, and laminated sides for strength and durability. The EBR3-N4F uses Boulder Creek's Solitaire body, which employs the Suspended Bracing System (SBS). A departure from the traditional X-brace, the SBS employs a pair of parallel aluminum braces that are anchored at three points under the top, but are otherwise suspended like a pair of towel racks. This allows the top to vibrate more freely, improving projection. The area of the top is also greater, with a soundhole the size of half-dollar and a large oval port on the side, dramatically improving bass response.
It's also equipped with the AB4-T Active Balanced Acoustic System with on-board tuner. The specially designed cable-type saddle transducer reduces the "clunk" that is inherent in traditional piezo pickup systems. The AB4-T System also feature both balanced and unbalanced outputs for maximum signal and noise reduction in both stage and studio applications.

Dean Exotica Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Guitar, Trans Black with Tuner Preamp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow! Greatest buy I have made in a long time! I have played guitar for over 13yrs. I can't believe this was such a good deal I was a little sceptical of getting ripped off because I thought it was to good to be true. Well I got my guitar & it is exactly what I wanted Brand new in the box! My new Dean looks great for under $300.00 it's a steal. It's not quite deep as my acoustic but most acoustic/electrics aren't. It is a little tinny sounding but for the price with a digital on board tuner & chord scale key it is great! Change out the strings to one of your own liking, for me I prefer something a little deeper.. maybe some earneball super slinky'S 10's ;) "Check out GuitarCenter reviews on this Dean" BUY it at Amazon I saved about $100!!!

Dean Exotica Cocobolo Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this guitar today.
This guitar is a thing of beauty, the wood is beautiful and the binding is incredible.
I have not seen craftsmanship like this in a long time.
The guitar has a nice tone and the action is good, right out of the case.
Even without an amp it is loud enough to be heard.
The on board tuner is great and very handy. their symbol lights up both wings when the right pitch for the string is reached.
The on board electronics are very nice and when i plugged it into the amp I must have pushed the volume up, it got my attention in a hurry.
(of course the wife says, Turn that down)
Over all this is one heck of a nice guitar.
If you love exotic wood, this is a great guitar to own.

Fender Victor Bailey Signature Acoustic V-String Bass, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over 2 years ago I added the 4-string version of the acoustic bass to my collection...after playing it, I just had to add the 5 string to my collection and have been satisfied ever since to own both of them in the series...even without plugged into an amp, the sound still resonates and fills the room...the tonal quality is nice and crisp, easy to transport, always gets multiple second looks and a perfect conversation starter even to those accustomed to only electrics...nice job Fender...thanks Victor for the insipiring instrument design too...once purchased, you'll always question why you didn't added this one to your collection sooner...cheers...DEO...}:)>

Victor Bailey-man, what a resume. First-call session guy. Solo artist. Consummate sideman. And acoustic bassist extraordinaire. Veteran of more than 1,000 recordings by artists including Weather Report, Michael Brecker, LL Cool J and Mary J. Blige.And when we started working on our Victor Bailey signature five-string acoustic bass, the man himself graciously spent a great deal of time and effort on it with us. The result is a unique instrument: The Victor Bailey signature five-string acoustic bass features a beautifully arched back, figured dao back and sides, a laminated spruce top with a gorgeous dao veneer, an abalone rosette, tortoise-shell binding, a 34"-scale neck modeled on Bailey's signature Fender Jazz Bass guitar, satin gold Hipshot licensed lightweight tuners, Fishman electronics and a deluxe gig bag. A truly stunning instrument.
