Hello, all:
I'm a new forum member with a B-30 Bass. It's a 1987 in pretty much "unplayed" condition.
Some time back I had a fellow Bassplayer use both his B-30 and my Tacoma Thunderchief unamplified, while I listened from 20ft away. The B-30 was the clear winner in terms of acoustic volume. Later, I came across the one I have now, though I haven't used it much.
I'm really an Upright Bass player, but do want frets when I'm doing a lot of lead singing.
My question to the B-30 & B-50 owners:
What size or type of group can you support playing unamplified? My guess is about 2 or 3 stringed instruments and no microphones, drums, or amps anywhere. Maybe playing with a PA if your sound hole is mic'd.
Amplified, there's probably an upper limit too. I'd be interested in hearing your experience.
Thanks....Lyle
