Short-scale Bass with Heavyweight Tone!

Is your bass too heavy? Is it too big? The Ibanez GSRM20 short-scale bass gives you great low end with minimal size and weight. This model of the famed Soundgear series offers a compact body and smaller neck to help alleviate those neck and back problems. It also sports a 28.6"-scale neck that's large enough to be comfortable yet short enough for smaller arms and faster playing styles. You get the best of both worlds with the GSRM20's J-style and P-style pickups, both bringing their recognizable tone to your fingertips. Keep the band thumping all night long with the Ibanez GSRM20 bass.

Ibanez GSRM20 Short-scale Bass Features:

  • Compact, contoured poplar body provides excellent balance and comfort
  • Slim neck profile gives you amazing playing comfort and speed
  • Short 28.6" scale is long enough to be effective yet perfect for shorter arms and smaller hands
  • Standard P and J pickups serve up classic fat, punchy tone
  • B10 bridge gives you impressive sustain

Love it

My Mikro came well packaged. It looked and felt well made right out of the box. It feels good and plays great. If you have smaller hands, like me, it is surprising how much better the short scale is to play. The Mikro is very light weight but still growls like its long scale brothers. I love this bass.

An early first impression review

Sooooo light, smaller than I expected but I love that! Great tone using the ampeg 15 amp setting on my line 6 pod go so I didnt need a separate amp. Kinda feels like playing an acoustic guitar with the neck feel for those of you who play guitar. Finish is flawless and beautiful! So far its a keeper! Whats funny is I get disappointed with expensive Ibanez gear but I like this cheap gear!

Great little Bass!

Bought for my 10 year old niece and she loves it and I was quite impressed as well! Really nice neck and totally easy to play. No matter your age this little bass packs a wallop.
Finish is beautiful. Got the Sunburst.
Nice bass and no complaints.
Rated 5/5

Plays like a guitar, sounds like a bass

This is perfect for a guitar player who wants to transition to bass - the scale length is similar to a standard guitar, so the feel is very similar, except of course for the fat bass strings. The sound is comparable to my long-scale bass - it is amazing to hear a heavy room-shaking sound come out of this thing when it's paired with a decent bass amp (the Mighty Mouse Effect, I would say). For a couple hundred dollars you get something that is well-made, beautiful to look at (I got the red one), and awesomely fun to play. I am going to try to get my granddaughter interested, once she's 9 or so - but this is definitely not just a child's guitar, or limited to a beginner. The Ibanez/Sweetwater combination is of course a winner, too.

Ibanez miKro GSRM20 Bass Guitar - Brown Sunburst

Beautiful Bass and the sound an the tone are AMAZING!!

It is definitly a smaller bass, but for a female, it fit well and it is exceptionally light!

I had purchased this bass with the intentions of just finding a cheap bass for practice, as my husband and I have our worship team and rock bands tuned down to Eb, so I needed to have a bass I could keep tuned in E for learning songs. T

I have a fender jazz bass and a PRS and the sound of the Ibanez is just this good mix of both combined. This bass has some Power! The 1st day I received the bass, I actually decided to use the miKro to gig with....I was pleasently impressed!

I started playing bass 2 years ago and I am 43. Being a female, and starting later in life, I do not have the "stretch" in my hand, with the miKro, I could get to my notes easier and the Frets are nicely spaced!

I highly recommend the Ibanez miKro GSRM20, don't let the price fool you...you will not be disappointed!!
