Default Acoustic Bass

What's the word on acoustic bass guitars? I'm thinking of picking one up to try to teach my wife how to play bass on some old-time country and Doc Watson/Merle Travis type tunes. Not sure this is a good idea but I'll do some more thinking on it. Budget is fairly low. There seem to be quite a few out there and the YT vids all seem to show guys shredding. I like the U-Bass but really don't want to put out that much money on something that may end up being a novelty. I might be better off just getting a used short scale electric bass and a small amp and going with that. Any experience with the acoustics?
