This bass is a bargain. It has more than fulfilled my expectations. The electronics are good,with very little hum except when turned all the way up. When unplugged,plays clear as a bell. When plugged in,has a very "uprightish" tone. Neck is fast,and fit and finish are very good. The free case is a bit of a tight fit considering the electronics are mounted near your right arm. Overall,the best acoustic bass outside of a Taylor,and 1/3 of the price

I have played in bars and studios all over 3 states, and I have found that this Takamine and a Trace Elliot 4x10 combo gives me all the punch I need from the smallest clubs to outdoor 3000 seat arenas. It has a big sound and the mellow slap for bluegrass and swing era jazz. I have tried them all and for the money Takamine has a winner with this bass. You can't go wrong for under $500.00.

"A very good acoustic bass guitar"

Consider the Takamine EG512C Acoustic Bass Guitar made in Korea under Takamine specifications has good sound and the sound ages better with time. Consider the Takamine is well done and has that beautiful Takamine finish (mine came with Abalone incrustations in the sound hole). Consider the Takamine EG512C Acoustic Bass Guitar comes with a TKL hard case (TKL 8968). Consider the preamp has a built on tuner (Takamine TK4N). And you have a very good Acoustic Bass and a really good deal for the price.

The best acoustic bass in the planet. It has everything you need. I love the pre-amp and the case. I play most of the time unplugged and it sounds great.
