Impressed by this little monster
Color: Starlight Blue Style: 4-String
I chose this bass because I am used to playing guitar and wanted something to do some home recording with, and didn't want anything too big or unwieldy, and I am shocked by how small and light it is. It's smaller than the PRS guitar I usually play, but still sounds great. Pickups are passive but that's fine with me as active pickups are just another thing that can fizzle out at the worst possible moment anyway. My only real complaint was how incredibly out of tune it was on arrival, but any new guitar is going to need tuning and the stock strings should probably be replaced ASAP anyway. Would be a great starter bass and I wouldn't hesitate to gig with this if I had to. It looks cool too. ... show more

Buy 2.
Color: Brown Sunburst Style: 4-String
Love this little guy. Awesome for kids. Sound is just fine. Great for practice, learning, walking around the house easily playing Tool basslines annoying your family and like a million other things. I might buy another one. This is so much better than dragging a full size bass around.

A Bass Guitar, that's made for Guitar Players!
Color: Starlight Blue Style: 4-String
I've been playing guitars for over 30 years and on many guitars. I messed around with a Squire bass guitar many years ago, but it was huge and heavy, traded it in. I have 4 Ibanez guitars and was intrigued by the Ibanez Micro Short Scale Bass. It's the size of a guitar, weighs around 6 1/2 pounds and sounds amazing, easy to play and a lot of fun. Definitely can be used on Stage, tuning keys are ok, pick-ups, ok too. Someday I'll upgrade the pickups and tuning keys, but not a rush, this Bass is plain fun to play! ... show more

Solid Bass
Color: Starlight Blue Style: 4-String
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. ... show more

The Guitar Player's Perfect Guilty Pleasure Short Scale Bass!
Color: Weathered Black Style: 4-String
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?!) ... show more

The quality is amazing.
Color: Transparent Red Style: 4-String
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. ... show more

Great fit for smaller hands
Color: Walnut Flat Style: 4-String
Great Bass for a decent sound. A little time setting nut height, neck relief and pick up heights and it was off to the races!! Smaller handed adult, easy to play and comfortable as it weighs less than a full size bass. So far so good, more than worth the price in my opinion

Superb and worth every penny.
Color: Brown Sunburst Style: 4-String
I received my brand new Mikro Bass about 2 days before the projected delivery date. I was in awe of the guitar when I opened it. It’s perfect. Not a single flaw found. The body is glossy and pristine, and the neck is smooth and balanced. The sunburst brown color is exquisite and absolutely gorgeous, and the neck wood color is a beautiful natural finish. It looks even better in person than the stock picture shown. I purchased mine for $179.99. No other bass comes close to that price, and it’s a Top Tier brand quality product. There was an inspection tag attached as well, which means it was thoroughly examined by the manufacturers before it was shipped to me. This is my first bass, and I am so incredibly pleased with it. It’s a Christmas gift, so I’ve yet to actually play it, as I was only allowed to examine it for issues, and to see it for the first time (I’m expecting a mini amp, strap, and tuner as gifts to be delivered tomorrow). I’m so excited to play it. I’ve been an experienced drummer for 12 years. I’ve thought about gettin a bass guitar for a few years, but hadn’t given much thought to it until recently. I did a bit of research on brands, products, and prices for a few days, but the moment I saw this bass, I had to have it. It caught my attention immediately. And the price couldn’t be beaten. I HIGHLY recommend this bass. It’s a work of musical art. The short scale neck is very comfortable, so you wouldn’t have to reach so far upwards to play low notes on the fretboard. 5/5 👍🏻👍🏻 ⭐️ ... show more
