## Overview

The Ibanez GSRM25BK MiKro is a 5-string electric bass guitar featuring a compact 28.6" short scale, a poplar body, and a maple neck with jatoba fingerboard. Engineered with the same high standards as Ibanez’s full-size GIO series, it offers professional-grade tone and playability in a lightweight, travel-friendly design. Ideal for players with smaller hands, beginners, or anyone needing a portable yet powerful bass, it delivers rich sound through dual single-coil pickups and reliable tuning stability.

## Description

Don't be fooled into thinking the Ibanez GSR micro is a toy. It’s made to the same high standards of the other GIO series guitars. The Gsrm25 features, small scale SR body, full sound pickups, the same construction, same materials, and same set-up and inspection as its full size counterparts. Its shorter 28. 6” scale makes it perfect for tour buses, space-restricted home studios, folks with smaller hands, as well as young rockers or beginners.

Review: Excellent short scale bass guitar - Great bass, and not just for its price range. I only have a few basses, but this one is my go-to. The tuning stays pretty consistent, and it’s easy to dial in a good tone. I’m still a beginner, and I highly recommend this for other beginners. It’s a short scale bass, so it’s easier for my hands to reach across frets on it.
Review: Cutest Bass Ever - Yes, it's cute, but this is a real, great sounding bass guitar. I've been playing bass for 50 years, and a few of my heavier basses are getting a bit uncomfortable after wearing them for a 4 hour gig. I thought to try this Mikro. It weighs in at 6.5 lbs on my bathroom scale, so it's a vast difference compared to my 9 lb + 5 string Rickenbacker. The neck is a bit wide for me - I prefer an extremely tight string spacing, but nothing that I can't get used to. Action was a tad high from the factory, but that is an easy fix. The nut height is also a tad high, so I'll have to break out the nut files - also an easy fix. That said, it's quite playable out of the box. Fit and finish is excellent for a $200 guitar. I may eventually do some mods - new strings, strap buttons, new pickups, and change the controls out to volume, blend, and tone, but that doesn't reflect anything wrong with this bass - I mod almost all of my instruments. I'll have to wait until next week at band practice to put the bass to the real test, but so far, I am impressed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a gig bag?**
A: At the time I purchased mine, it did not.  I ordered a gig bag at the same time.

**Q: How floppy is the low/b string?**
A: Not bad at all.  I have two higher end Carvin 5 strings and the Ibanez is no worse.  For the money you can' beat it, plus it saves you back being much lighter.  Great for practice.

**Q: I notice that the tone knob/pot also acts like a volume knob. when turned down, the overall volume goes way down and vice versa. is this normal?**
A: Yeah, the lower the tone the volume is effected.  Depends on the Amp you use as well.  I have the rumble 50 bass Amp and tuning the B string is a challenge if done by ear. I've played for 45 years and tune my 4 strings with ease. The lowest one always gave me problems

**Q: Can this bass be detuned to play heavy metal?**
A: This is a short scale bass so you will need heavy gauge short scale strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it, with some work
*by C***A on February 24, 2023*

I really love this bass, but it needed work on receipt. I expected that based on reviews and am very happy but dinged it a star due to the required work. First, all 5 bridge saddle bolts needed to be cut to be able to correctly set intonation. It's really as if the bridge should have been mounted about .25-.5 inches further away from the neck. I started off on just the B, D, and G strings, and later had to do A and E. If you want to play all the way up and down the neck with proper intonation, this is required. The pickups are really not good. I happened to have some J Bass EMGs from the 80s, they fit well with just a bit of filing and really brought this thing to life. Was able to cram the battery into the volume/tone control cavity. Finally the metallic overtones are very significant (has to play with tone turned all the way down), the neck is fine though. So I went to flatwounds for E-G strings - left B on round wounds. This tamed that harshness, and it still can sound nice and aggressive if I want. After all that this thing is a real treat to play and great for gigging. Love the short scale and it now sounds fantastic.
