Bassists are bound to have a blast with the Taylor GS Mini-e, an acoustic-electric bass guitar with a compact design and shortened scale length. The star combo here is the torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides that provide a punchy tone with plenty of acoustic projection. This GS Mini-e Bass also features a Neotropical mahogany neck and Crelicam ebony fingerboard for a smooth playing experience. Custom nylon-core D’Addario strings further optimize this bass’s sound. When you’re ready to perform or record, the onboard ES-B pickup ensures top-notch sound. Indeed, the Taylor GS Mini-e is an excellent choice for seasoned bassists or those new to the instrument!

A bass guitar with a portable design
Taylor’s award-winning GS Mini series takes Taylor’s popular Grand Symphony guitar shape and transforms it into miniature perfect for kids, beginners, or guitarists who don’t normally play bass. The scale length measures in at 23-1/2 inches, making it comfortable whether you’re walking a groove or trying out some chordal patterns. What’s more, the GS Mini-e effortlessly packs away for travel to the campfire or your next gig. In other words, this bass is ready to go where the music takes you!
Made with custom D’Addario Strings
Due to its unconventional scale length, the Taylor GS Mini-e Bass requires a specialized set of strings to optimize its sound. That’s where the pros at D’Addario come in; they designed a set of strings with nylon cores that are overwound with coated phosphor bronze wire that exhibit warm, clear bass. Because of the Mini-e Bass’s short scale, these strings are the only set that will do — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Plug in with the ES-B pickup
Take the GS Mini-e Bass to the stage with the ES-B acoustic system. Here you’ll have the ES-B pickup paired with an onboard preamp and built-in chromatic tuner. Included volume and EQ controls let you shape your tone to your desired preferences. There’s also an LED low battery indicator — two button cell 3V lithium batteries provide about 300 hours of use.
