Description

The Micro bass, or m-bass, is a 23" Short-scaled acoustic/electric bass Guitar that utilizes a dedicated synthetic string made by the Aquila company and a piezo transducer pickup that deceivingly packs far more of a wallop than what meets the eye. the extended scale length greatly improves intonation over similar models and allows for an acoustic volume loud enough to enjoy without plugging into an amplifier. The sloped Ergo-Glide top makes this instrument extremely comfortable to hold. The Micro bass fretless features a fretless neck for a tone remarkably similar to a traditional upright double bass. Maple veneer strips in the fret positions makes navigating the fingerboard easy and the cutaway provides access to higher register positions.

    • A great new little bass. Ground breaking for us bassist wanting an upright sound in a tiny package.
I really love this thing. The only reason not 5 stars is when I first got it, it had a defective pre-amp. I contacted Gold Tone thru the dealer I got the bass from, told them the problem, and they sent me a complete set of new electronics. Now I'll describe the bass. 23" scale, lined(maple strips)? rosewood fingerboard, bookmatched mahogany top and I believe solid mahogany back, neck, and sides. The rubber strings give the bass real low end thump and are super easy to play when shot with a little Fingerease string lube to slick them up. I lowered the action with the truss rod, but that was a mistake. Keep it high/stock and the strings will vibrate much cleaner on the fretless neck. After having it a couple of days I realized I could treat the fingerboard with lemon or almond oil to preserve it. I wound up wiping the whole bass down and the wood grain really popped out and the bass looked much nicer. I followed with Johnson's Paste Wax and it gave the bass a slight luster.....very pretty. I wish they maybe had a more deluxe model with maybe maple or koa wood bodies and a ebony fingerboard, but I got what they made. I was all set to buy the Kala mini bass, but I really like this better. Kala is a shorter(18")scale and fretless isn't an option until you're spending more money. Google Gold Tone Micro Bass/Kala bass. A guy on Bassspace describes his choosing the Gold Tone over the Kala in excellent detail. The bass weighs a little over two pounds and comes with an excellent gig bag. Tuners are very good, just get used to turning them a LOT when tuning the rubber strings. Also, lift the string out of the nut slot several time when tuning to equalize the tension between the strings on both sides of the nut. The tuner engages when you plug it in and the bass is in silent mode. Push the tuner button off and the bass comes on for your amp. The pre-amp has bass/treble sliders and a volume control. It is powered with two small batteries that are about the size of a nickel each. To me, the treble control isn't used too much as it adds just clicky treble and finger noise. I keep it low and kick up the bass for a huge fundamental tone that stays downstairs, leaving other instruments and vocals to be heard clearly. I took it to a jam last weekend and might have sold two of them right then as players were amazed at the tone and punch this little "toy" was putting out. I have a little Hartke Kickback 112 and I had a very portable, kickass sounding setup. My usual main bass is a '82 Wal fretless. It is a fantastic sounding bass but doesn't have a genuine upright bass tone. This guy does. I've played some of the regular long scale acoustic basses with the bronze strings and was never impressed with any of them. Glad I stumbled on this. Gives me another completely usable tone in a tiny package. This isn't a flash in the pan instrument that will gather dust in a few months. It's so portable you can just run out the door and hit a neighborhood jam and not even have to open the trunk of your car. Want the doghouse bass sound in a mousehouse sized package. Here it is. ... show more

    • Love this little bass!
I love this little bass, so you may wonder why I only gave it 4 stars. Mostly because of the strings. The "thundergut" strings that came with it were just unbearable, for me. I finally bought some "silverback" strings, and what a difference! I no longer feel like I am trying to get a decent sound while my fingers are stuck to gooey strings that feel like bubblegum. (I have read reviews by other folks who like the thunderguts, so apparently one's body chemistry matters... mine clearly does not like those strings!). Other negatives... the strings were difficult to change, since you have to reach into the sound hole and grope around for the holes in the bridge where the new strings go through. I have pretty large hands, so this was a challenge! An access hatch would have been nice. But I gather the strings last a long long time, so hopefully this will not be a big problem. Also, the case is less than ideal. The short zipper does not allow you to open the case all the way, and although there are d-rings for two backpack straps, the case comes with only one. Since I would like to be able to carry this, backpack style, on my bike, this is a big negative. The positive... a really really big positive! This is a real bass, with nice bass-y sound, in a tiny, lightweight package. Combine it with a Blackstar Fly3 battery-powered amp (the one with an extra speaker) plus your cable, tuner, and some spare batteries for the amp, and you can still go to jam sessions or music camps carrying no more than 10 pounds. Amazing! Plus, it is plenty loud enough to practice at home without any amp at all. Great little instrument. ... show more

Review Image by Ralph Cornwell
This is a marvelous instrument. Fun, fun, fun. It is very light. I tinkered with my Ampeg & the bass's treble until I got a very nice thump & sustain. I play in a bluegrass band & everyone played it including the dobro player. It does everything it should. I need a a little baby powder, but not the other guys. I noticed when I spilled some powder on my khakis that I could get enough off my pants leg. It is loud enough to practice w/o plugging in. Tuning is no problem; just pinch a sting & take the weight off. One major problem (listen up Gold Tone). The fret lines wrap around the finger board & have little dots at the ends. The dots on the finger board are in the right place, between the fret lines.. This is really confusing when I look at my fingers - which I do a lot. I would like to try one with frets. The tuner is not top end, but works well enough. The strings are magical. One can see wave forms in them. This thing is fun, fun fun. Update - the bass pictured on Amazon has the dots placed correctly. The dots' placement on the bass sent to me are different & confusing. It's still fun, but I will contact the vendor or Gold Tone. Must drop it a star. Here's a pic. ... show more

    • Some kinda crazy little bass!!!
After reading the reviews and stepping out in faith, I purchased one of these little play toys of a bass. I have been playing upright bass forever and getting older with more arthritis, I thought this would keep me playing for a few more years. Think I'll be playing forever. This is anything but a play toy. This little bass sounds as good as any upright or P-bass I have ever played. As a previous reviewer stated, he had trouble with the electronics and had replacement parts sent to him. The same for me....bad pickup. Service was prompt and parts were plug and play, no soldering....back in business in no time. The band has never sounded better...they have a new lease on music and it is a million times easier on my hands and back for that matter...lugging an upright around. I'm playing through a Carvin MB 15 with an extra 15" cabinet...killer sound. The rubber strings are very comfortable and are no trouble lift them from the nut to take the tension off. A singer/songwriter friend heard it yesterday and wanted to know what effects I was using to get that sound....No effects...plugged straight into amp. He was totally amazed...so am I. Hurry and buy one before the price starts going up!!!! ... show more
