I have a gold tone resonator bass that I really like the sound of. It has a bit more projection and volume than a regular acoustic bass with a smaller size (the body is close to concert guitar size).
I am not really a bass player though and picked this up on impulse.
I played it, it was cheap, and having wanted and acoustic bass for some time bought it.
After some research I wonder if it is a counterfeit due to the price and lack of a pickup, but it suits my purposed (though I hate the idea of benefitting people making fakes)
