A Lefty Short-scale Bass

The perfect size for your pint-sized rocker, the left-handed Ibanez miKro GSRM20L electric bass guitar gives you great low end with minimal size and weight. You'll love the miKro GSRM20L's compact body and smaller neck that are ideal if you have shorter arms or smaller hands. With the left-handed miKro GSRM20L, you get the best of both worlds - one J-style and one P-style pickup - bringing both of their recognizable tones to your fingertips. With the Ibanez miKro GSRM20L left-handed electric bass guitar in your hands, you'll thump all night long.

Ibanez miKro series delivers huge sound in a compact package

If you're a young student (or just have really small hands), the prospect of playing a full-sized electric guitar or bass can be intimidating. That's why Ibanez has created the miKro series. Because of their shorter scale, miKro-series instruments are just the right size for your budding rock star. Sharing many features of their larger counterparts, miKro-series instruments deliver sound way beyond their size, letting small hands make big sounds!

Ibanez - a brief history

Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan; however, the company didn't get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the "Ibanez Salvador" name, which was later shortened to "Ibanez." Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs. By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative guitars and had begun manufacturing the original designs that the company is now known for. Ibanez is also famous for their effect pedals (most notably the Tube Screamer) and guitar amplifiers.

Ibanez miKro GSRM20L Short-scale 4-string Left-handed Electric Bass Guitar Features:

  • Compact 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

The Little Bass that Could

Don't let the size or price scare you away because this little gem is sure to put a smile on your face. You will most likely have to set this up however because its super low price does not meet the Sweetwater 55point check threshold. With that in mind, or if you are uncomfortable doing your own set-up, this may not be for you. I put a graph tech tusq nut on it {you can skip that though} so I had to sand and file the nut slots. The truss rod was completely slacked off so it had too much bow under string tension at tune. A little tightening with the supplied allen wrench took care of that. I then had to lower the strings some, as well as set the intonation. Then I adjusted the pick-up heights. When I plugged it in, the combination of the P&J pickups produced a pleasant variety of tones. I was pleased with how they sounded. Ibanez has always done necks well and this was no exception, even at this price point. No fret buzz with the action set fairly low, the way I like it. The short scale of 28.6" plays more like a guitar and would be a perfect choice for someone with small hands or a younger person starting out. That's not to say it's not for adults, nor is it a toy. It produces good low end too. It is really a joy and so much fun to play that you will think you're a kid again. I chose this to use while researching and deciding what full scale {34"} bass to get. I will be using this as a backup and would have no problem playing it live.

Thank you!!!

Thank you for sending me this item with a robust packaging service; The large bubble wrap within the outer box, was enough to endure the long distance transportation.

Because my sales manager, Colton Kreuzer gave me quick and detailed explanations, I can say I'm satisfied with my product as well as Sweetwater's service.

Thank you Sweetwater!!!

Fun little bass / recommend

I'm a guitar player, decided to get a bass to mess around with. I didn't want to go spend money for something I may play a couple times a week. The MiKro GSRM20 has been a perfect fit. The only downfall but a easy fix. Was some lose soldering points which resulted in the bass not being grounded. Again easy fix. Overall fun to play at a very affordable price.
