Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The shorter, more narrow neck and looser strings make it a lot more comfortable to play, for people with normal sized hands or smaller. The scale is right and it is a real instrument for a young player with small hands.

The ibanez mikro is a great bass for a beginner or a friend who is learning to play. If you're a beginner too, i would advise you to consider also the yamaha trbx304; it's the all-around bass guitar. Hubby is a drummer with a guitar *, who can play al...  Read More

It’s a good quality for the buck. I forgot to mention how good looking this bass is.

The gsrm20tr is worth, conservatively, at least twice the list price. This little puppy is amazing for the price. The hardware is what you'd expect for its cost, but i see that as a positive if it helps this bass stay affordably priced.

The ibanez mikro buzzes like crazy at the first four frets, all strings. Instead of the standard 3-screw truss rod cover, it features a little door that flips to the side. It comes with the truss rods already adjusted so the frets arent so buzzy.



Cons

That truss rod nut is perfectly round with absolutely nothing for an allen wrench to catch on. Received neither, only the guitar.

Quality


The quality is excellent, no sharp frets, and action was pretty much perfect out of the box.


I am extremely pleased by the quality for the money.


Will have to add more details when we talk to our guy, but very disappointed in the quality so far.


I haven't had any sound quality issues, no weird reverb anywhere.

Price


Price is good and the sound is incredible.


It makes a nice and deep sound and the price is very good.


For the price i maybe should've known.

Packaging/appearance


No dents or scratches out of the box.


Side note: out of the box, the action was way off and the strings were rubbing on the frets.


I'd highly recommend this for beginners and bass curious types, as satisfaction is almost guaranteed, right out of the box.


Was a christmas present for my daughter to learn on.

Competitiveness


If you are looking for a low-price bass for yourself or a friend who is learning to play, and would benefit from a smaller form...  Read More


First, a reasonable price compared to others.

    Seller should be glad i know how to setup a guitar


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Out of the box the setup was dialed in string height was dialed in to the sweet spot and the intonation didnt need any adjustment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No issues with the pickups or the input jack


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You will have to upgrade to better strings


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Received this bass in july and i now have to take it to get rewired as it no longer puts out sound


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Will have to add more details when we talk to our guy but very disappointed in the quality so far


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i were the seller i would not be happy with those photos which leave you wondering about the bodys finish
