I played a Mikro today.. Gotta say, I liked it. It brought up a few questions though.

What flats are you guys using on the Mikro? Has anybody switched pups in one yet? Which ones did you go with?

Thought I was in this club but could not find a #. Lets try with these two short boards.

Squier Jaguar SS Jacked with Quarter Pounders, CTS pots and Hipshot “A” Bridge (Fretless)

Cort Junior with a Fender Deluxe Bridge and strung through the body (Fretless). Pick up up grade to follow.

This is one I built for this years Winter NAMM show. It is a 30" scale and is a real beauty!

That is a beautiful top on that body. Is it walnut?

If that Cort has an EMG sized soapbar I can HIGHLY recommend a John Worrell pup. You will Not be sorry.

Well guys, It's official. Just got her in today! The pickups are amazing and the neck is lightning fast. I was absolutely blown away by the features. Taking her in on Saturday for a proper set-up and some new strings!

fjadams · #**836** 01-16-2013, 07:58 PM

Congrats. The red ones definitely have the best quality paint.

If, like a lot of the rest of us, you decide to mod it. You might look at the Lace Alumatones and a Stallartone DuoTone. It's not their 6, 10 or 16 notched. It's their model from last year. Basically two tone pots in one with a .47 for the neck and I think a.22 for the bridge.

You get a lot of bass for the money. Fender did a good job on this one.

Ah... a twin sibling to my own red SS Jag... You'll love it! Mine backs up my Birdsong, and gets a lot of play when I am with my kids at school or at ball games with the pep band. Fun bass, and a steal for the dough...

Thanks, I have a feeling after this one, I'm going to be a complete addict!

Here's my question: I have a fretless long scale and a fretted short scale. I find the transition between the two seemless. However, I really prefer a fretless bass. Any thoughts about jumping between a long scale fretless and a short scale fretless?
