Custom D’Addario strings optimize this bass’s sound
The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Bass features custom strings designed by D’Addario. Designed exclusively for the GS Mini-e Koa Bass, these strings sport nylon cores that are overwound with coated phosphor bronze wire. And they sound great. At Sweetwater, we love the warm, clear bass that these strings exhibit. And just an FYI — because of the Mini-e Koa Bass’s short scale, these are the only strings that will work with it.
ES-B pickup delivers top-notch plugged-in tone
When you plug the GS Mini-e Koa Bass into a PA or your favorite amplifier, expect killer tone. Its ES-B pickup incorporates design elements from Taylor’s acclaimed Expression System 2. A preamp with built-in digital chromatic tuner is onboard. Take control of your sound with Tone and Volume controls. There’s also an LED low battery indicator. Two button cell 3V lithium batteries provide about 300 hours of use.
