MicroBass
The Gold Tone MicroBass is a short-scale acoustic or electric bass built in a banjo-sized body, designed for bassists who need a portable instrument with real low-end voice. We carry the full line: the 23-inch scale acoustic-electric M-Bass with a Fishman pickup, the longer 25-inch M-Bass25, the fretless M-Bass25FL, the solid-body electric ME-Bass models, and matching left-handed versions. These instruments tune EADG like a standard bass but pack into a case roughly the size of a tenor banjo, making them practical for travel, jam sessions, and tight stages. Each ships with a gig bag, professional setup, free US shipping, and our 7-day satisfaction guarantee. Call (404) 218-8580 with questions about scale length, fretted versus fretless, or amplification.
