A standard 34\u2033 scale feels immediately familiar to electric players,\u201d Veillette writes. \u201cThe warmth and natural presence of the mahogany body give this bass a very vibrant midrange that \u2018cuts\u2019 and lets it be heard, even where other basses might get lost in a mix. Plugged in, this bass is a beast \u2014 a huge, responsive tone with unmistakably acoustic flavor. The \u2018air\u2019 is there in every note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bass comes in cutaway, non-cutaway, and symmetrical oval-hole body styles. It also comes in four or five-string versions and fretted or fretless necks. <\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channelid=\"UCuHKXHw5P891LFZOmrpFWEw\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><\/div>\n<h2>Joe Veillette Guitars Acoustic Bass Options:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-callout\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we\u2019re checking out builder Joe Veillette\u2019s Acoustic bass guitar model.
