I used to play it exclusively when I was in an acoustic blues group (3 acoustic guitars, bass and drums), the sound was just right for that band.
The bass has an enormous neck, 1 3/4" wide and VERY thick, thicker than any other bass I've ever played. It's fun at first but not easy to play 2 hour gigs. It's also a bit neck-heavy, but a wide suede strap and relocating the strap button to the heel solved that problem.
