Played acoustically could this instrument be used in place of upright acoustic bass?

Having never played an upright, I can't make a comparison, but the CB-100CE gets compliments every time I play. I play it through the board and has a acoustic sound. For the money it a good acoustic-electric bass.

Having the larger dreadnought body makes it louder than most acoustic basses, but it's still not as loud as an upright. If playing along with one or two acoustic guitars you'll be heard, but beyond that you'll need amplification. Unplugged = great for small quaint jamming. Also there is a wide tonal range that can be achieved through the preamp when plugged in. With an amp you could make it sound very similar to an upright. Here's a great example of it's preamp's capabilities: http://youtu.be/ikmZ5YholGs

I am sorry, but I don't know for sure. I have an electric bass guitar in mine. I doubt an acoustic will fit.

Don't see why not. I know a lot of guys with guitar rigs that they use with bass and they all sound killer.

You can but you might not get the sound you want (depending on your style). You can do a lot of damage plugging a bass into a guitar amp though.

This amp would function with a bass guitar for quiet practice, but it is a very small amp and probably would not deliver much of a big bass thump. It would probably work ok for low key practice though.

Worked great with earphones, but we used with standard electric guitar. Based on the sound from the amp, I would think there would be a distorted sound if used for a bass.

Not completely certain but I am pretty sure it would be too small to fit an acoustic bass.

Yes, I've used both a standard dreadnaught acoustic, and also an acoustic bass. Seems even more stable, due to the less weight. The key is getting a really solid mic stand with a strong base.

It should, but I don't own an acoustic. I own an electric Bass so I haven't seen an awhile to be postitive

I imagine it would be. I dont know of any acoustic pickups made specifically for bass.

I haven't used it on an acoustic as of yet I've been playing it on a les paul through a 59 fender bassman amp I'm sure it will sound good any way it's used I say go for it

It's only input is a 1/4 inch mono typically for an instrument. But yes, if you get the proper cords or adapters you could. I'm not sure that it would sound very good, never tried it myself.

I dont think it would be good for bass. I would look into something with more wattage or a amp that is made for bass playing.

You could but the tone would be lacking. Good for a jazz hollowbody but that's about it

I think you can. I also use it as a bass "preamp" with the output going into a small practice amp. Adds a lot of warmth. Good luck!

Yes it can. Actually That's how it was designed to work. Just clamp it to the headstock, turn it on and tune. I'm a bass player and that's how I tune.

Yes you can still here the harp acoustically. It has the pick up on the side. It does not come with EQ or the fine tuning
