An interesting & valiant manifestation by Taylor; the GS mini now has a bass incarnation. Solid (spruce) top, on board pre-amp, ebony fretboard... what the GS Mini sports, the bass replicates. That goes for the scale length as well, they are both 23.5"
The good- if you are accustomed to the guitar, the bass version isn't a struggle as both feature the same scale length. This also means, the guitar bag will fit the bass. How's that for economy?
The not so good- if it's a bass & it sports that scale length, it would mean that a special set of strings need to be there, not the standard ones, even the ones meant for shorter scaled basses. True enough, the default D'Addario ones were made specially for this bass. It is unclear at this time whether D'Addario or Taylor would offer these strings off the shelf for subsequent replacements.
Whatever the case, this GS Mini bass is worth considering. Yes, even if you play guitar.
