Builder is Gold Tone, they are specialized in Banjos and resonators. I have the guitar version which I use for slide. It is already incredibly bassy so I can picture how the bass is.

No like all acoustic stringed instruments. I did remove the metal plate and took picture of the bridge.

here is a clip I made with the bass acoustically last year for one of my tutorial videos. It gives a good idea of how it sounds acoustic.
Don't be too judgy please, it was done too quickly and I don't have much experience at producing these things. I'm learning LOL
