New Mikrobass! My review

I agree with unbridled. I'm 73 and been playing bass since I was 19 and have gone through quite a few basses over the years...Fenders, Ricks, G&L, Supro (1st bass), and more. Currently own a Peavey Forum but had to give it up due to weight and a right shoulder replacement, so I thought I'd give the little Ibanez Mikro a try. I love this little bass. Lightweight and plays really well right out of the box. The intonation is pretty good, but I want to lower the strings just a bit (quarter) and will probably have to re-do the intonation when I do that. I have order LaBella flat wounds for it and am anxious to see what that does to the sound. I think it's a great little bass and plan on playing it from here out.
 
Got a new Mikro. Light and easy. Love it. Intonation slight adjustment to G string. Great now..

Changed string to flat wounds. Nice for me. PUPs could be better.
