They`re real - they look just like acoustic guitars, but only have 4 strings (that I`ve seen, I`m sure you could get 5 and 6 string varieties).

Oh yeah. Acoustic basses are real. You can even get them in 5 and six strings, but those are soooooooo rare. Acousics have the advantage of being lighter and more portable, but I prefer the loud noise over it any day! By the way, basses rule.

yes, acoustic bass guitars are VERY rare, and finding one that`s not an acoustic/electric hrbrid any more is very hard, but they exist, in all shapes and sizes, well, not all, 4-5-6 strings, frettless, bowed back, etc. but for cost expect somewhere around 400 dollars, most of them aren`t commonly mass-produced so they are more oftenly handmade... so do expect higher prices.

I have an earthwood. I bought in on ebay a few years back on ebay. I love it. It is the only ABG that has enough punch to not plug in. I used used on a CD and it mic`d and recorded great. There is a little cupping in front of the bridge and the finish is a bit funky, but it plays great. My understanging is it is simole math to make an ABG. It takes 4.5 square ft of space to puch a Low E. All of the other ABG are just to small. If find one, buy it!
