Looks like I my quest for an acoustic bass guitar may end up with a trade on a used Guild Jumbo Junior in a music store. So, I'd appreciate some opinions from anyone who's played one. I'd probably just be playing this with an unamplified acoustic folk band (I play fiddle and stuff), so I don't need much volume. As it happens, I already have a little Roland Micro Cube bass battery amp I could use with it if I needed a lift just to get heard. I originally had my eye on a new B240E, but this litle guy is available a lot cheaper.
So, what are your impressions? I'm not expecting too much acoustically. Some reviews say the tone lends itself to cello like vibrato (I used to play cello), which sounds interesting. If anyone owns one, did you keep the stock strings or change them, and what's the result like please? Finally, what's the general vibe of the thing like? I had a 34" electric bass years ago, and I have Guild jumbo bodied 12s now, but I don't know what to expect from the Jumbo Junior at all.
Thanks, Max
