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 ?

Best,
