The idea of playing an acoustic bass guitar can be a daunting task to some. Most of these are large and cumbersome instruments, and can be viewed as clunky to most bassists. No strangers to innovation, the good folks over at Taylor guitars have developed one of the most practical acoustic bass options out there – The GS Mini-e Bass. As an addition to their ever-growing GS Mini line, the Taylor GS Mini-e Bass packs a large punching tone into a relatively small footprint. Thanks to a special custom set of D’Addario nylon core strings developed just for this project, the bass has a 23-1/2 inch scale length. This makes for not only a more comfortable playing experience, but for a way more travel-friendly alternative than most other acoustic basses. With a solid Sitka Spruce top, layered Sapele back and sides, and ES-B onboard pickup/preamp system, the Taylor GS Mini-e Bass can be a compact yet powerful addition to your lineup.
