23" Scale MicroBass Acoustic Bass with Silverback Strings

You'll find that this mighty mite has real usefulness in acoustic playing situations, but plug it in and the REAL fun begins.The 23" Scale MicroBass Acoustic Bass with Silverback Strings will have your acoustic amp or bass amp rumbling with big, fundamental bass tone.

The sound of the M-Bass through an amp is uncannily like that of an upright string bass. You get big bass magic from an instrument the size of a "baby" guitar, shaped by the built-in piezo pickup's EQ module (with tuner). The M-Bass's naytoh mini-dreadnaught cutaway body has an arched back and comfort-beveled top for playing comfort. Padded gig bag included.

About Aquila "SilverBacks"

Gold Tone partnered with Labella Strings and after extensive testing created a revolutionary new string for 'Bass Ukuleles'. These strings have a nylon core with a double silver-plated copper wrap. By far, they are the loudest and can be easily heard on the acoustic M-Basses in an acoustic jam.

Since it is a round-wound string, they feel very similar to Rotosound strings. All nylon strings require a break-in period, so don't install immediately before a gig.

Once they are settled (1-2 days), the pitch remains consistent. The sound is more acoustic than the steels. The intonation is accurate and reacts much quicker to machine head button turns (compared to the rubber "Thunderguts")
