Your cart is empty.Don't be fooled into thinking the Ibanez GSR micro is a toy. It’s made to the same high standards of the other GIO series guitars. The Gsrm20 features, small scale SR body, full sound pickups, and same set-up and inspection as its full size counterparts. Its shorter 28. 6” scale makes it perfect for tour buses, space-restricted home studios, folks with smaller hands, as well as young rockers or beginners.

Just my opinion, but this just might be the guitar player's perfect guilty pleasure short scale bass! With its remarkably short 28" scale, it's so comfortable, balanced, light & easy to play! Amazingly inexpensive. Flawless fit & finish (at least mine was right out of the box - and in a really gorgeous matte slightly textured weathered black finish w/all black hardware). Just one minor out of the box issue - slight buzzing, but only on the E string and only when fretting the E on the first fret. So, possibly the second fret needed/needs minor dressing - but that was more than I wanted to attempt, so instead I simply raised the E string a hair at the bridge and the buzz was instantly gone, with no effect on E string volume that I could detect. The pickups sound fine to me. A true little gem at a truly bargain price. (Note - the gig bag was not included - it was a separate purchase - but for the price what can you expect?!)

Recently bought a squire jazz 5 string for about twice the value this was and I was way more impressed by this than the squire. The squire had poorly done frets and all of the pots and the output jack were really noisy but this Ibanez was silent no noise I even preferred the action of the Ibanez. Great value. No sharp frets. Wicked light even for a four string. And overall felt solid compared to the squire. As an experienced player this was awesome to play.

I'm in love with this bass. I found 4 reviewers on YT who said exactly the same thing, which is why I took a chance on the Ibanez Mikrobass. Professional instrument know-it-alls have said that short scale basses have a different tone than full scale (while making a face as if they smell a fart), and I was very curious about that, because... logic. After my own experimentation, I could detect no audible difference between my full scale Yamaha (BB350F/1997) and the Ibanez Mikrobass, both clean and on many amp and pedal settings... because, of course they both have the same gauge strings, are tuned to the same vibrational frequency and have virtually identical pickups, so... math. I love the feel of it, because the lighter body and neck, and perhaps the looser strings having more travel distance to sustain a note, allows the vibration of the strings to penetrate deeply into your hands and torso. For me, that really adds to the joy of playing. After a few days, I started to crave the feeling of it more and more. It goes without saying that the shorter, more narrow neck and looser strings makes it a lot more comfortable to play, for people with normal sized hands or smaller. If I were the seller, I would not be happy with those photos which leave you wondering about the body's finish. Well, let me tell you there is no hint of orange on my red body, just deep dark red, worthy of the blood god. And, through the clear coat, up close, you can see all of the wood grain detail, but at a distance, the dark specks give it a warm fuzz, that, how crazy is this, thematically suits this instrument in every way. The fuzz master, baby! Honestly, it's quite nice looking, IMO. Much better than I expected. And, the only imperfection I could detect was the volume knob sticks a little when turned all the way down, but I'm expecting it to wear in. In summation, it baffles me how this instrument, which has clearly had a ton of love poured into its design and quality control during assembly, can sell, new, for under $200. This is now my main instrument. I was not paid to say any of this.

Good product at the price point. Body and neck seem well made, pickups give good output and sound quality. Frets reasonably dressed with no sharpness. Like the weight and ease of handling, much less of a workout than a full size P bass. Only negative are the strings - they are absolutely awful, feel sharp and noisy even for round wounds. Changing them out for D’addario flat wounds right away.Just to stress what other reviewers have said - although it is short scale this bass is not a toy, you can get good deep punchy tones just a lot easier on the hands and arms than a regular bass.

I was Leary but I have another Ibanez. This Mikro bass is passive but fun to play especially when you have stumpy sausages for fingers. It’s about the size of a 6 string guitar but it’s a bass. Nice!

These basses are great. Really light weight and easy to use. The ergonomics are great. I put flat wounds on and the sound is up there with my p-bass. I have paused on playing for now but am going to get back on it.

En definitiva, es un bajo increÃble. Después de usarlo un aproximado de casi 2 meses la verdad no me queda palabras para expresar lo increÃble que es.El tamaño es reducido al de un bajo normal, haciéndolo más fácil aprender a tocarlo. El tamaño es un poco más pequeño de una guitarra eléctrica común. Para personas que ya saben cómo tocar se les hará muy divertido de usar y cómodo, ya que puedes hacer lo que ya haces en un bajo de ¨tamaño normal¨ de manera más rápida. Yo tenÃa un conocimiento principiante con un bajo realmente malÃsimo y muy dañado, este me ha permitido desenvolverme de una manera fascinante. Este bajo cuenta con 20 trastes (donde comúnmente son 22 o 24 en un bajo ¨normal¨) pero esto no te detiene de tocar para nada, a no ser que busques hacer melodÃas, pero, realmente si no tienes un nivel increÃblemente avanzado no lo necesitaras hasta mucho tiempo el dÃa de mañana. La versatilidad con este bajo es muy buena, pero, considero que es difÃcil por sà solo para llegar a tocar Metal o algún genero pesado similar, este necesitarÃa de pedales de efectos, etc.El color y diseño morado es increÃble, realmente la foto no muestra lo buenÃsimo que se ve en persona, es fascinante el color y roba miradas a donde sea este instrumento. Todas las piezas realmente son de calidad. Recomiendo encarecidamente utilizar un pañuelo para limpiar después de usarse (no siempre porque para ser realistas, no siempre se va a hacer) y asà conservar su calidad.Realmente el precio vale totalmente la pena, dudo mucho que alguien se llegue a arrepentir de esta compra.para mi es un 10/10

Um ibanez dispensa comentários. Que baixo incrÃvel e com um som muito bom. Eu só não me atentei na descrição que se tratava de um baixo 3/4, mas tudo bem, amei o som dele.

De momento no puedo decir nada porque lo acabamos de recibir, es para un niño zurdo de siete años. Tiene muy buena pinta.

Since my bass playing is rare nowadays, I wanted to make it easier to grab the guitar and start playing. So I decided to change my older Ibanez to this smaller one.I haven’t regretted the decision. This does just about everything as its bigger brothers do. The sound is great and playing is so much easier now.The quality is great, fretboard is just right and potentiometers do their job well.I really recommend this to anyone who wants to play bass, but the normal-sized feels a bit too much to handle.
