Depends on the price you put in, obviously. Actually, I quite agree with
you, I haven't heard a lot sounding well.

Guitar-sized acoustic basses ? IME, they sound like shit. May have
to do with the case being too small to resonate effectively at low
frequencies.
I agree. I've played a couple "acoustic bass guitars", they
did indeed
sound poorly. I forget the name of the Mexican guitar-like bass, but
McCabe's (in LA) sold quite a few of those when buyers realized how much
better they sounded than the $$$ Dreadnaught-style basses.
I think you're right about the resonant
characteristics. In truth, the
sound itself wasn't so bad, it just carried about two feet and just died
there. No projection worth a damn. Maybe a good sound in studio though ?
Not sure it has to deal with
the dimensions finally, as my own bass (acoustic/solid body at the same
time) just sounds awesome with deep basses, and very accurate sound. By
the way, many non-linear acoustics phenomenons permits to get basses
with small-dimensions instruments, and I think you can't think in
another way if you want the instrument to be human-playable. I mean
100Hz is already a 1.7m wavelength, I wouldn't have to play on an
instrument which is sized to produce 20Hz!!!
Best,
