About this listing
The Taylor GS Mini Koa Bass is one of the most innovative compact acoustic basses available, delivering a surprisingly full and rich low end from a travel-friendly body. Designed for players who want genuine Taylor quality in a highly portable format, the GS Mini Koa Bass is equally at home on the sofa, in the studio, on stage or around the campfire.
Featuring a beautiful solid Hawaiian koa top with layered koa back and sides, this model produces a warm, focused tone that continues to mature with age. Taylor's specially designed short-scale construction and custom D'Addario strings provide an incredibly comfortable playing experience while delivering the depth and projection expected from a much larger acoustic bass. The built-in ES-B electronics with onboard tuner make it equally capable for live performance and recording.
Presented in Very Good condition and supplied with its gig bag, this pre-owned GS Mini Koa Bass is an outstanding choice for bassists looking for premium portability without compromising on tone.
