Taylor GS Mini-e Sapele Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar Natural

The Taylor GS Mini-e acoustic-electric bass brings impressive acoustic bass tone in a compact, travel-friendly package. Designed for guitarists, its short 23.5" scale length and slim 1.6875" nut width provide comfortable playability. The GS Mini-e Bass incorporates a proprietary string set developed by D'Addario, along with Taylor-patented dual-prong bridge pins that optimize the string break angle and produce robust bass notes from the shorter scale. The result is an inviting acoustic-electric bass that makes playing more accessible and portable for guitarists. The bass features layered sapele back and sides and a solid torrefied spruce top that produce clear low end and excellent note definition. The slim, contoured body design is comfortable for playing while remaining durable for life on the road.

Layered Sapele and Spruce Generate Robust Acoustic Tone

The GS Mini-e Bass features layered sapele back and sides for a sturdy and responsive foundation that projects the top's vibrations with focus and power. The solid torrefied spruce top acts as an expressive filter to produce crisp articulation and excellent note separation. Together they create impressive acoustic volume, sensitivity and a rich low end, while the compact body remains comfortable for playing. The layered wood construction makes the GS Mini-e Bass exceptionally durable as well.

Onboard ES-B Electronics Provide Plugged-in Versatility

Plug in the Taylor ES-B electronics to amplify your bass tone with the onboard preamp, volume and tone controls. The ES-B pickup system incorporates a customized ES2 pickup fine-tuned specifically for bass string response. This lets you easily shape your amplified tone, maintain note clarity and provide stage-ready output. An integrated chromatic LED tuner with low battery indicator ensures you stay in tune silently on stage. Take your acoustic bass tone anywhere you play with the GS Mini-e Bass.

Proprietary Strings and Patented Bridge Pins Optimize Tone Production

The Taylor GS Mini-e Bass comes equipped with custom light bass strings designed by D'Addario exclusively for this model. With a multifilament core and EXP-coated bronze wrap, they deliver long-lasting tone and projection. Combined with the dual-prong pinned bass bridge, they provide an ideal string break angle over the shorter 23.5" scale length to generate impressive bass notes and plenty of depth and growl. The design ensures great tone production despite the smaller body size.

Comfortable Playability Invites Guitarists to Bass

The GS Mini-e Bass incorporates Taylor's comfortable GS Mini neck profile that most guitarists will find inviting and accessible. The slim 1.6875" nut width allows comfortable fretting for players with smaller hands. The shorter 23.5" scale length further facilitates playing basslines and chords up the neck. The bass provides an excellent entry point for guitarists to explore the low end in a portable, enjoyable instrument. Plug in and amplify your tone with the ES-B electronics or go all-acoustic for practice—the Taylor GS Mini-e Bass makes playing bass more accessible.
