Question for you Short Scale experts

Yay!! you will love it I'm sure. and my 6'0 SO looks just fine playing it, it's not so small that it looks like a kids toy :-) Please let me know when you do get it, then maybe we can start a Mikro's only club here? ;-) best wishes!

Definitly! I'll probably be getting it the 23rd, which is the day after my neck surgery (and why I need a lighter bass.)
 
Good luck on the surgery!

As to the point, I played a Bronco in the local shop on Friday. Felt alright, I guess. The neck seemed so, chunky? I don't know it just felt weird to me.

It sounded good, but I also have a wee dislike for the stock strings. They felt almost toy like.

I think I may dive in the pool headfirst and worry about the water later. I think I am going to order a short scale from Rondo....

Let me know which one you get and what you think of it please. I wasn't sure what to think of the Bronco either.
 
Thanks everyone. I made it back home a day earlier from the surgery than I thought. I didn't buy a bass because no one had the Mikro in stock for me to try out. I see MF just put them on sale for $169 so, I might do that. Dunno yet. I gotta heal up a bit so I'm less sore when I try stuff out!
 
Well I went ahead and ordered the Mikro yesterday. It will be fun to see and play it once it gets here. I wanted to play one first but no one had one. If it doesn't work I can always send it back or sell it.
