Guild Jumbo Junior Bass: Traditional woods
In constructing the Jumbo Junior Bass, Guild uses a combination of woods that have been used for traditional double basses for several centuries. Accordingly, this compact four-string bass features an arched back and sides made of laminated flamed maple, on which a top made of solid Sitka spruce resonates. Thus this acoustic bass delivers a surprisingly mature bass tone with a sonorous low-frequency foundation and silky highs. The neck is made of maple and carries an ebony fingerboard.
The controls of the Guild/Fishman Sonitone BT-1 pickup system are unobtrusively placed in the sound hole.
Excellent playability on stage and in the studio
Thanks to the shortened 23.75" scale length (603 mm) and the comfortable neck profile, the Guild Jumbo Junior Bass also convinces with its extremely smooth playability, allowing every groove to be played with ease. Furthermore this acoustic bass is perfectly suited for use on stage and in the recording studio thanks to the built-in Guild/Fishman Sonitone BT-1 pickup system. The system delivers natural, dynamic bass output that captures every nuance of your playing. Via volume and tone controls placed inconspicuously in the sound hole, the sound can be further adjusted.

Shortscale acoustic bass from the Guild Westerly Collection
I love Guild guitars and I was not disappointed with their new Jumbo Junior Bass. Very well made with a lovely solid and resonant top and good frets. I wanted a smaller bass to learn on and after much research went for this one. It has a beautiful old timey look and the gig bag keeps it secure and well protected. This is a great start for me to hopefully learn something new.

This bass is really handy and easy to play. Maybe for some players the action might be too low but for me its perfect and the pickup sound is decent for live gigs. Thanks to short scale neck its also very easy to transport and does not take much space.
