Hey Ya'll.

I played a Ibanez AE5BE acoustic bass at Guitar Center the other day. I thought it was pretty cool, and crazy cheap. I'm not a bass player, but have always thought it would be nice to have one around.

Then I thought.. oh, ask the nation. Is this thing for real? Will it hold up? I mean, I don't know, will it stay in tune? Will it remain stable if taken decent care of? Is it a decent instrument?

The other question is there anyone else like me? Did you buy one and it just sits around, or is it fun? (I know this is a personal question, but what the heck, the forum is awesome, its like talking to a close guitar friend, and I'm interested in your thoughts.)

Thanks
