Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Nice light, agile action and bright, ballsy sound. Sounds as good as the bassist plucking the strings. Sounds good, stays in tune when played hard.

For $250 bucks this thing is a gem. Great bang for the buck. Also not a deal breaker.

Excellent beginner bass. This one is fine, and it is inexpensive, so that part is good for beginners, but that does not really call for a subjective rating.

I am not a musician so i'm not sure how a musician would say it, but it resonates a lot. The guitar is beautiful!

My wood grain didn't look quite as good as the one in the pic, don’t care, it’s awesome. It is beautiful!

Cons

The strings near the bottom have a weird twist/fringe to them. It wiggles and turns past its minimum/maximum points. Still not in the same color as pictured.

Highlights

Quality

Great sound, great look and easy to wear for long periods.

It’s got great playability, sounds great, looks great, is durable and well built.

With musical instruments, the poorer quality, the harder they are to learn to play.

So guitars that are made unsuitable for advanced musicians are definitely unsuitable for beginners.

Price

Its a great bass for the price.

It is a great instrument for the price.

For $250 bucks this thing is a gem.

Didn’t wanna spend a whole buncha money, because at my age, i’m not gonna go pro and tour the world.

Shipping

Seller was very responsive, product was shipped out and package nicely.

Quick trip to your friendly luiter, and you are good as gold.

I vowed never to order ibanez because of the acoustic bass sent to me prior that had frets sharp enough to cut my fingers off, ... Read More

Packaging/appearance

Seller did a great job packing, no issues with shipping.

Gorgeous, great guitar, strings are a bit roudy, everything was tight, wound and ready to go, guitar was very safely wrapped, s... Read More

It came intune right out of the box.

But this instrument was playable right out of the shabby box they sent it in!

Competitiveness

I currently own a number of other bass guitars in different vintages - fender, rickenbacker, gibson, roscoe etc.

This bass and the gsrm20 (mikro) are close cousins, as the mikro is about 20% smaller, anddoes not have the phat ii circuit.

Better than the $4,000 rickenbacker that i had and at only $279.
