Taylor Guitars - GS MINI-E MBSV1

Description

The GS Mini Bass offers players a remarkably inviting small-scale acoustic bass that's compact, lightweight and ultra-comfortable on the hands. This new model in the GS Mini-e family, featuring richly figured layered maple back and sides, is impressive for its ability to create natural-sounding bass notes despite a condensed 23-1/2-inch scale length - about 10 inches shorter than the scale length of a standard bass guitar.

Custom nylon-core strings by D'Addario and patented Taylor dual-prong bridge pin design produce pleasing bass notes while also yielding a slinky feel. And with the condensed fret spacing, playing bass is now physically easier on anyone's hands, from kids to bass newbies to seasoned bass players craving a couch-friendly option.

The GS Mini-e Bass Maple is an inspiring tool to have on hand for writing, recording demos, and jamming with friends. The bass comes equipped with Taylor's ES-B onboard electronics, along with a hard bag featuring adjustable backpack straps for easy portability.
