Hi,
I've been vaguely thinking about getting a mini acoustic bass (NOT a U-Bass, got one already!!) since trying the Taylor GS Mini a few years ago, but I'm now playing in sessions where one would actually be useful. I really liked the Taylor, but for the amount I'd play it it's not worth paying that much, but any of the other using those D'Addario strings would be viable:
Cordoba EB-E
Cordoba MH-E
Guild Jumbo Junior
Ibanez PNB14E
Anything I've missed?
Times being what they are, I'd have to buy whichever I go for without trying it first
Any thoughts? Any links to comparisons, I've found one or two but not very much, a five way comparison would be brilliant? My current thinking based on the few reviews I've seen is the Cordoba EB-E. Definitely looking for something that's playable unplugged, even if I'm the only one who can hear myself (I played my much loved Ovation in various folk bands for many years, so I'm very used to that.)
P.S. A couple of years ago I modded a solid bodied electric guitar to take these strings, with a piezo saddle of course, great fun! I know not everyone gets on with them, but they seem to suit me.
Cheers,
Andy
