Hello folks,

there is a Ovation CC 275 5-string acoustic bass on sale on ebay Germany, and I am thinking about bidding. But I couldn´t find any reviews about Ovation acoustic bass guitars. Does anyone have an idea or experience with those?

I would be happy for helpfull information.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards

Chris.

I had a CC2474 4 string bass. It seemed like a nice product. I only had if for a coupla days, long enough to find out that I wasn't a Bass Player.
But this was a nice guitar... Considering I had nothing to compare it to, since I don't play bass.
But mine was well made. It had an OP4BT new-ish Celebrity preamp.

There are people who own acoustic basses on this forum.
So someone should eventually be more helpful.

This won't help but the one Adamas bass I know of is reputed to sound and look absolutely awesome.

I would think the deeper the bowl the better the sound.....especially for bass.

I have an Applause AE140 Bass that still out projects any acoustic Bass I've heard. I imagine that as you move up the tone only gets better.

I would never use an acoustic Bass in a performance because of feedback. It seems to me that they are mainly for the unplugged jam sessions and such.

I did hear Master Keller on an Adamas unit but he soaks in Mojo all day long anyway.

I've been tempted to buy an AE-140 several times (that's the short scale one right?). Are acoustic basses any more susceptible to feedback than acoustic guitars? Do the soundhole plug devices help?
