Micro Bass

[sblueplanet]

Recently I've been taking an interest in the idea of a micro bass for portability and travel. As well as the Kala U bass I've been looking at Gold Tone. Does anyone know if they have a stockist in the UK? I like the look of their new electric model.

Thanks! I've contacted them to ask if they do a lefty model.

That's a cool-looking little bass, have to admit to not really having paid too much attention to this sort of thing.

Can't help but wonder though, from the perspective simply of portability, what advantage these have over full-scale Hohner B2/ Steinberger headless designs The specs for the Gold Tone give its overall length as 34", so it's barely physically smaller. Just curious, really.

I must say it looks pretty petite to my eyes

The Gold Tone lefty was on eBay a year or so back... It definitely exists!
