I'm just giving a brief-ish review of the Paul Beard model resonator bass guitar made by Gold Tone. There aren't a lot of demos of these types of instruments out there so I'm hoping this is pretty helpful.

How would this thing do with flats? That's how I would want to string it. I know you'd get less of that roundwound cut, but is that essential to how it is able to stick out in an acoustic setting?

That's a really nice sounding instrument, and a great review! I'm keen to get one, but I don't think they are readily available in my country. Can you please post a video of what it sounds like when its slapped? Do you think it would hold up to being fitted with a low B string? Can you by any chance link me to some good sites that sell them/export resonator basses? Thanks :)

@MrTheHesus Hi there -- I don't have the bass anymore, but it certainly is fun. I couldn't get used to the P-bass neck -- I'm more of a short-scale, Mustang bass fella. RE your comments -- a low B wouldn't have very much volume, unfortunately, though you could definitely install one. Slapping on these basses is very effective, by the way. Quite loud. RE importer/exporters -- don't know. You may want to contact Gold Tone directly.

Finally somebody uploads a decent video of a resonator bass and I'm getting one in two days anyway! Haha

@stodd32 Yeap, I'm happy with it. I was worried it might be a bit too weak or un-interesting as far as tone goes, but it's just simply quite different from any other bass I've played. Like I said in the video, it's got a very big piano sort of tone when you let notes ring next to one another. For example I retuned it to DADF# (open D) and played a number of tunes on it capoing up the neck for different keys and that sounds really interesting.
