CordobaMini II Bass MH-E, Mahogany, Small Body, Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar

Bought this as a gift, and she loves it!!! She is just learning, and she says the size makes it easy for her to play. She said it sounds great plugged into an amp, as well as on its own. She loves that the strings don’t hurt her fingers when playing. Overall, I am SO happy with this purchase! It is a beautiful bass guitar!

Great bass, great sound, and portable.

I got home from work last night and this little Cordoba was waiting for me, to be honest for what I paid I wasn’t expecting much, I just wanted a little Acoustic Bass to jam on particularly in the middle of the night, no cords, no amps, something small and simple. The Cordoba Mini II Bass easily checked those boxes. She arrived well packaged, UPS did not destroy her in transit, I pulled her out tuned her up and got to playing … four hours later I realized maybe I had something special in my hands, this bass is easy to set up and easy to play and while it doesn’t have the tone of a full sized guitar, it sounds amazingly good for the size and price point, in fact I dare say that for under $200 dollars this little guitar is a steal of a deal! Generally with guitars if you spend low you get low quality, that is not the case here at all! This is an exceptional little guitar and a great value! I highly recommend it if your looking for something small and reasonably quiet or if maybe you have a youngster who’s interested, but you don’t want to break the bank with their instrument, it is inexpensive, but not garbage!Edit: After a few months I am still extremely happy with this little Bass, Iv written and composed several songs with her! She sounds good, holds her tune very very well, I can go to work for the week and come back to her with no tuning adjustments needed. You want to talk about a great value this little Cordoba is the definition!

I wanted a portable fun toy bass for camping and travel, and this thing is just the ticket. There are several similar basses by other manufacturers that all use these same round wound nylon strings. The Ibanez PNB14E sounds a bit better, but it's also quite a bit bigger and more expensive. I haven't tried the Taylor - I'm sure it's great but it's a LOT more expensive. I also haven't tried the UBass with its rubber strings - I wanted something a little bit bigger than that.It's also a great size for kids who want to try out the bass and the strings are easier on the hands than normal ones - though I think any kid who got into it would quickly want a 'real' bass.Pros:It's tremendously fun to play with a funky little sound, and you can play it anywhere without lugging along any gear. I call mine the Groove Machine.The strings have a lot more give to them than normal bass strings - very bouncy and easy on the fingers.It sounds GREAT when plugged in.Great travel size. The fret spacing is very similar to an acoustic guitar, so you can stretch to some notes that are difficult to reach on a normal bass.Cons:The finish work understandably gets hurried on such an inexpensive instrument - My fretboard is a bit rough in spots and the fret ends could use some filing. That said, it's a pretty little thing and I think the quality is good for the price.It's very quiet when unplugged, and if you play it hard the slap sound reminds me of a toy guitar. I really enjoy playing it to myself, but you're not going to lead a campfire singalong without a little ampSince I came from guitar I don't generally play bass the "normal" fingerstyle way where you hit the strings with the tips of your index and middle fingers - but there's no feature (like a pickup on a normal bass) to rest your thumb on for this kind of playingI'm not one to break strings, but they are expensive if you do. FYI the strings the other comments say to buy aren't available anymore. Just get whatever strings they are selling for the Taylor GS Mini, currently D'Addario XTB3790GS.I thought the notes were going out of tune above the 12th fret and I initially decided it just doesn't play well up there - but now that I check it with a tuner the intonation isn't bad... maybe I judged too quickly during the new string stretching out phase. You can't reach much above fret 15 anyway.

I've had this acoustic Bass for several years now and it's functional as heck. It was worth the money , the neck feels amazing after all the years I've played it, the action is incredible not a surprise from a Cordoba product. 💯

I bought one of these for my 10 yo daughter for Christmas 2022. When it came time to unwrap her present it was clear that something was wrong. Part of the internal wood bracing was broken off and rattling around the inside of the body.I requested a return and ordered a replacement. The replacement came in and this one seemed to have a wire loose than you could hear hitting the inside body of the guitar if you shook it. We still kept it and she has been playing it, however as far as the electronics are concerned..... The battery seems to die within a week even if it is unplugged and the tuner is off. When connecting the 1/4 plug to the amp, the plug is not snug and tends to work its way out and lose connectivity very easily.

I love this guitar more than my electric bass that cost 4x as much.Fun to play for bluegrass and related styles. Strings are easy on the fingers. Light as a feather to wear on a strap. I love taking it places. Short neck is never in the way in small spaces. Great built-in and lit up tuner, convenient volume knob. Perfect construction, sturdy, beautiful instrument.Amazing little bass for the price, however the tuning knobs are a little finicky when tuning. Not sure if it is how the factory strung it, or if the knobs need replaced. Once in tune, it stays in tune.Also, this bass will not keep up with a rock band. I’ve done it, but prefer to use my electric five string bass for the non-acoustic, rock styled sets. The sound is wonderful for any style music, it’s just not meant to be played hard like my electric. The strings are too short and vibrate in a way that it can’t be played fast.I would recommend this for any beginner. It is a joy to play. They won’t want to put it down!!
