I bought one that is made in April, just a few months old straight from a Chinese factory. Metal knobs, perfect craftsmanship regarding finish, neck pocket, fret ends, tuners. EVERYTHING IS GREAT! :) Love the lil beast :)

I'm a gigging musician and I've been playing the Ibanez GSRM 25 (5 string) bass for well over a year. Have never had it professionally set up, just my own tweaks. I love playing it and with my SansAmp DI I can get all the tone I need. I get a lot of compliments on my sound. I don't use an amp on stage. I go direct and we have IEMs. I don't even touch any of my other basses anymore.

Mine is black with a maple fingerboard. I paid about $179 and It sounds awesome with it's steel strings. I had it for years, and have used it at gigs. I love short scale basses and this is my shortest and I love it to death!

You're the 2nd person to ask me this and the first to do it so emphatically, lol. I will do it. I can't be sure exactly yet when I will get to it but I will definitely do it. It sounds like a great experiment at least and probably a whole lot of fun. how should I tune it?

Does this Mikro bass tune to standard or is it an alternative tuning? Also, does it use different/lighter gauge strings?
@RJsCave
Жыл бұрын
Standard tuning and string guage. try to find short scale strings but standard scale strings work too. I've heard it can be used as a piccolo bass with the right strings too.
