  • Product Description

    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 Gsrm25 features, small scale SR body, full sound pickups, the same construction, same materials, 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.

    Cutest Bass Ever

    Cutest Bass Ever
    Yes, it's cute, but this is a real, great sounding bass guitar. I've been playing bass for 50 years, and a few of my heavier basses are getting a bit uncomfortable after wearing them for a 4 hour gig. I thought to try this Mikro. It weighs in at 6.5 lbs on my bathroom scale, so it's a vast difference compared to my 9 lb + 5 string Rickenbacker. The neck is a bit wide for me - I prefer an extremely tight string spacing, but nothing that I can't get used to. Action was a tad high from the factory, but that is an easy fix. The nut height is also a tad high, so I'll have to break out the nut files - also an easy fix. That said, it's quite playable out of the box. Fit and finish is excellent for a $200 guitar. I may eventually do some mods - new strings, strap buttons, new pickups, and change the controls out to volume, blend, and tone, but that doesn't reflect anything wrong with this bass - I mod almost all of my instruments. I'll have to wait until next week at band practice to put the bass to the real test, but so far, I am impressed.
