Beuller?... The last Mikro Bass Club (pt. 3) post showing for me is from 18 days ago. And searching for a new Mikro Club 4 came up blank. ... And I don't even know the Ghostbusters phone number. (cause there's something strange ...) Sorry about this post, I just thought I'd try posting...

Greywoulf, If you'd like to "slicken" the feel of your Mikro's neck, try an old/used/worn ScotchBrite pad. You could do it with a new one as well but would probably be "done" in 2 or 3 swipes, as opposed to a well used piece being a lot less aggressive/more forgiving. I've used it on all my...

I just "borrowed" one of the single screw tuners off my Mikro to fill in for a stripped tuner on my Spector (thanks to an overzealous tech with a speed winder) and the Ibanez tuner was an exact match, fit-wise. First I bought a set of what looked like matching "dolphin tail", single screw tuners...

Search (I don't know why the link says "Search", it's a Drums Etc. link.) I've purchased upgraded saddles from here. They probably still have the B100 bridges. Real good prices compared to a lot of places, too.

I have an almost identical (though, rosewood neck) up the road from you (in Muncie). I have Roto77's on it now which I preferred, even as dark as they are, over the Chrome's I had on it for a bit, but always considered twangy in comparison. My favorites are Ernie Ball Cobalt flats, which I have...

I was going to suggest Rotosound 77 Flats for Grey Melbourne, over Chromes ... if they're an available option. I've had both on my Walnut and liked the Roto's much better. ... less twangy. (IMO)

I only read through the first page of posts on this, so I don't know if someone else already covered this or not. I have an Ibanez SR with the stupid-thin neck and was having all kinds of issues with pretty much any flatwounds on it ... until someone said you have to use the lightest gauge you...

When I put Rotosound flats on one of mine, (which are a .105 vs .95 stock E), I had to move all the saddles back and they ended up with the same issue, to the point that when I ground off the E saddle shaft to fit, it just says "Iban" now. But those sound like the stock rounds, so it was just...

I know this is coming up on 3 years since you last asked, but I have an SR300EB, exact same finish, and when I got it it had the same issues, but a serious shiny spot where the previous owner's palm rested (?) For the wood showing through I used black fabric dye that I had left over my tie dye...

Oldstrummer, I've used a rolled up Scotch Brite pad on all mine (in the body area, where the factory can't get a power buffer, apparently) and it will clean em up in a few minutes, at the most ... if it's that kind of issue. And to the Alien, I too play through a guitar amp (in the same...

No, I still haven't worked on the shielding on either. One is stock (exept for the volume pots and knobs). The other has a Seymour Duncan P because the stock pup was DOA, so that's what GC put in it for free. They both have the same horrible noise anytime you lose solid contact with the strings...

Same (happy results) here. I bought my (used) Walnut sight unseen (from GC) a couple years back. I was very anxious about what might arrive but it was dark, rich, brown (not poop), with an even finish and grain. It's shielding sucks, but that's the same as my other Mikro. Sorry you got a really...

I know this is an slightly ancient thread, but I searched for "Ibanez SR dead neck" and got here. I've had 2 different SR 300E's in the last month that both get very muddy on the D from the 5th fret to the 10th, and around the 7th and 8th it's so bad it's a quick decay instead of sustain. When...

Whoa! Please elaborate ... What are we looking at here? something old?, something new?, Photoshop?, or maybe a prototype of something they'll neh-ver actually put on the open market? (I'd guess old, from the headstock markings.) She's beautiful, whatever the case.
