One issue I have seen with ABGs plugged into PA systems (rather than a dedicated bass amp) - feedback. Obviously amp placement is easy to work with - turn it away from the player, move it off to the side, but that's not something you can do with a PA.
I tried the new Taylor GSMini bass and was thoroughly unimpressed with it acoustically - and for the price, once can get a very decent used Fender P bass.
