The Gold Tone M-Bass 23 is the original short-scale acoustic-electric bass that set the standard for compact bass instruments. Despite its small size—similar to a baby guitar—the M-Bass produces a big, fundamental bass tone that’s remarkably close to an upright string bass when amplified.
Built with a nato mini-dreadnaught cutaway body featuring a comfort-beveled top and arched back, it’s designed for easy handling and player comfort. Available in both fretted and fretless versions, the M-Bass comes equipped with a piezo pickup and active EQ module (with built-in tuner), delivering stage-ready tone shaping. Its Aquila high-tension polymer strings add warmth, depth, and sustain while remaining gentle on the fingers.
Perfect for acoustic gigs, travel, or as an alternative to a full upright bass, the M-Bass is a must-have for bassists seeking portability without sacrificing sound. Includes padded gig bag.

25 ScaleÂ
The Gold Tone M-Bass 25 builds upon the success of the original M-Bass 23, offering a slightly longer 25" scale length for players who want a more familiar feel under the fingers and even greater tonal depth. Despite its compact size, it delivers a rich, upright bass-like tone that’s perfect for acoustic ensembles, travel gigs, or stage performance.
Crafted with a nato mini-dreadnaught cutaway body, a mahogany top, and an arched okoume back, the M-Bass 25 ensures both comfort and projection. The active piezo pickup with EQ and built-in tuner provides stage-ready amplified sound, while Gold Tone’s Aquila Thunderblack strings add warmth and sustain without finger fatigue.
With its bigger body compared to the 23, the M-Bass 25 is a great choice for bassists seeking a more resonant, full-bodied alternative while keeping portability intact.
