"The most fun you can have on an acoustic bass! Short scale, low tension, and a sweet koa top." - Ian, Taylor Guitars Expert From Taylor Guitar’s Website: "Taylor's bite-sized four-string acoustic bass has made waves across the music world, and they’re bringing new flavors to the line with this new edition made with Hawaiian koa. With the GS Mini-e Bass, players can add punchy, warm acoustic bass sounds to their music, and with Hawaiian koa, the package is more attractive than ever. Specially formulated nylon-core strings make this bite-sized bass a dream to play, and its beefy response makes it a great addition to virtually any musical situation, from ensemble settings to home recording. Complete with a gorgeous finish that draws out koa’s natural beauty, this model also ships with a padded gig bag for easy transportation."
