    Ibanez Mikro, bell-like ringing sound and buzzing from bridge area

    Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster. Used to play a lot ~10-12 years ago but went through several rounds of hand and arm surgeries so had to drop the hobby. I tried a few times over the years but the loss of hand flexibility and strength led to a lot of pure-buzzing ;) I recently...

    Quick question for Ibanez Mikro owners...

    Hey all, I've been looking for a short scale bass with body contours, due to nerve damage in my right (picking) forearm. I've tried the Squier Mini Precision and the Ibanez TMB30, and while they're both nice guitars, the contours don't seem to be in just the right place or at the right depth for...

    To Scavenge or not to scavenge

    I recently purchased an Ibanez Mikro 5 and starting to get the urge to mod it. There's a possibility that I'll get an old Cort Curbow with a mighty mite soapbar (opposed to the Bartolini). Nothing wrong with it, it's just really old and I already have a (less old) Cort Curbow fretless and new...

    Mikro Bass Strings too short for Mikro bass

    I bought a pack of Ibanezs iebs5 strings for my gsrm25 mikro bass and the strings are too short. The pack says 28.6 scale and I measured the bass just to make sure but the strings taper about an inch from the nut. Did I get a bad pack or am I missing something here?

    BRICE HXB2-405 3/4 Thoughts, and other SS nonsense.

    I have been doing most of my gigging on playing with an Ibanez Mikro 5 string. it is a 28" scale length bass and sounds great. I have gravitated toward medium and short scale basses. I would love more affordable 5 string options but there are just not many. My only problem with my Mikro, is...

    2 X Mid Heavy, Single Coil, 4 string, J, Rail Based, Bridge Pickup That Will Sound Great in Series!

    So I currently use the 2 stock J pickups on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro bass wired in series directly to the output jack socket of the bass, and for such cheap pickups they do sound surprisingly great, but as I have to run the bass through a graphic EQ boosting the 280Hz band about 4dB, the...

    I am pondering on adding another 28,6" scale bass to my collection, since I love my Ibanez Mikro, which has actually become my main bass. I feel tempted to take the risk of not really knowing what I get by buying a neon green Jackson Minion instead of another Mikro, but far from sure if this...

    Best Strings for Ibanez Mikro Bass GSRM20?

    I bought an Ibanez mikro bass recently (love it!), but in the last few band practices I've noticed the tone changing a little. It sounds kind of "unfocused" and really hasn't cut through the mix well. I think the stock strings are getting old and worn out. So...what are my options? I saw these...
