Acoustic Bass Guitar

Buying my first acoustic bass guitar was one of the high points of my year. I have had some experience playing bass before, but very little. I used to have an old beaten up Ibanez bass guitar that I got from my dad, but it wasn't in very good shape. This was really my first chance to ever experiment with a good instrument, and I relished the opportunity. I did not no this until recently, but the difference between a poorly made instruments and a high-quality one is enormous. Acoustic bass guitars can vary tremendously, and the one I had been using before was in pretty bad shape. The neck was bent and warped, which made it very difficult to finger correctly. The intonation was also a little bit out, so it didn't even stay in tune very well.
