I just picked up a Mikro today from GC, it was already setup perfect, nice low action, super fast neck. I've only played it for about 30 minutes through my 30W practice amp, but damn, it's so much fun.

Ibanez Mikro 28.6" Scale PJ

I just picked up a black one from ZZsounds after playing it at SamAsh yesterday. Playing it through that new Roland amp with 4 little speakers was the most fun I've had in a while.
I just had to get it. I am secretly hoping I can turn my niece on to bass when she gets a little older!

I'd grab one and swap out the pups and some of the hardware if the price was right for piccolo-stringing.

Hope we get another LA GTG so I can check out that cool lil' thing.
Oh, and that little Kubicki and Aria too... I guess
'grats on the score, Zuma!
Seein' these short scales makes me want to get my money together for a piccolo project.
I wasn't aware these Mikros existed until today.
Looks like a cool little bass.

It's so funny, in 2007, seeing all these snobs rank on the Ibanez Mikro. Now they're popular and a lot of people have one just to plunk on.
Sometimes TB'ers can be so judgmental...

I've been playing bass since 1963. My first bass was a SS Supro...did the job. Then on to the standards of the day, Fender Jazz and Rickenbacker, had an EKO and a Hagstrom 8-string, and recently a Peavey Forum. Just bought one of these little Ibanez basses due to old age (mine) arthritic shoulders and general stamina. I LOVE IT! It may have the nicest tone of any of them...although the Peavey is pretty nice. But, most importantly, it's allowed me to play again and that makes it worth it at any price. This is not a toy and everyone should pick one up and play it before making snide comments about it. Rock on.
