If you got it used, it might need a setup. It's something worth taking the time to learn to do yourself.
Go slow, don't do anything extreme, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, bring it to
someone who knows what they're doing.

I like my Mikro a lot.

what needs to be fixed?lower action? its not that high

 

[felis]

I'm no expert. That's for sure. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can answer.

But if you're getting a lot of buzzing when tapping, you might need to raise the action a bit,
to give the string some clearance. Might possibly need a bit more relief too.

I love mine! Hope you love yours too!

congrats and being that is a ibanez, it will sound as good as
the ibanez anb1006

happy birthday!

due to the shorter 28.6" scale on the mikro, you may need heavier strings or/and higher action if you want no buzzing at all. mine buzzed a little when played aggressively, but it filled a very specific need for me, and overall i quite liked it.

i'm a little curious - was there any particular reason you ended up with a mikro instead of a long scale or standard short scale bass?

my acoustic bass i have right now is very long scale, and im wanting to play a song that reaches from the third fret to the seventh fret (chord) which is nearly impossible on my long bass. Also i wanted to do tapping

My Mikro is 30 1/2 inches from string ball to nut and takes regular short scale strings......

i believe most regular short scale strings have 32" winding, not 30 1/2". are you putting the wrap through the tuner holes?

 

[ZenG]

I am stating how long the string distance is from:-

The string ball ( where it goes through the back of the bridge)

to

The nut.

That's 30 1/2 inches...........but the strings are short scale strings and are actually longer than that of course........
