One other thing about the Ibanez Mikro is that standard short scale strings fit it better than they fit the Mini-P, most likely due to differences in headstock and/or bridge design.
And I must pay attention to the MB2, which I think that you have mentioned and linked here in the past.
It's so small that I might get one regardless of the 1.5" nut width, and regardless of where I might need to go for strings which fit it properly.
Why buy one ? - Just so that I from time to time could leverage the old line
"I play a little bass."
BTW, what gauges of strings were on yours from the factory, what gauges did you order from Newtone, and are you pleased with the result ?
Also I noticed that it has the split pickup in reverse P layout.
And exactly what colour is your MB2 ?
I like what I see in the first pic moreso than in the second, but the website may not offer that colour any more anyway.
To digress a bit, I stumbled upon and read a thread not too long ago, where you posted about having gotten a full scale Jazz bass, said that you liked it, and that it did not bother your shoulder.
Do you still feel that way about it ?
BTW, another bass which has a pleasant mix of most of the Bronco and Mini-P attributes is the Jay Turser JTB-40.
30" scale, P-style split pickup, 4-saddle bridge, wider at the nut, body like a P, and weight about 5 pounds 8 ounces.
And it can be had in transparent red, which is prob'ly my 2nd favourite colour.
One of those became my gigging bass for most of 2021, for a rehearsal/gear check, and 4 out of 5 gigs, those 4 happening during August and September.
