Not your ordinary acoustic bass.
An old favorite has just returned to the Regal line of resophonic guitars—it's the Regal RD-05 acoustic bass guitar. The Regal RD-05 is the acoustic bass you can hear in any playing situation with a deep, rich tone that can be heard above all the other instruments. It responds just as well in the studio and over the public address system and the built-in resonator cone amplifying system gives you as big a tone as many conventional acoustic bass guitars which tend to be large and cumbersome.
