Unless it is poisoned.

Just like mine. Nice, and I sold my SR400 tonight, so it is my last Ibanez now.

And last Orange Bass, I just thought about that, oh no. off to get the EBMM Orange Stingray…

Still waiting for my 1st one but already in love with the next beauty.

Finally got my hands on the Mikro I bought what seems like an eternity ago after it’s been sat in a distribution centre about 25kms from me for a week
First impressions after realising that the seller had charged me double what they should have are pretty good. Seems a funny little beastie but certainly bangs out the sounds well enough. I’ll have a bit longer play about with it tonight

T_dub · September 23, 2020, 6:09am

double price, that is not good. hope you REALLY like it.
I do like mine, it is fun.

Mac · September 23, 2020, 7:09am

I’m hoping so . It was still an alright deal BUT the postage pushed it back up towards the top end for what I realistically paid if not a little more

Mac · September 23, 2020, 11:30am

Okay I’ve had a couple of hours playtime and I’ve got to say it’s great fun I totally get why guitarists would love it as a bass to use for adding to recordings.
My only gripe is the strings. I’m a flat wound snob So I will be on the hunt for a set so any advice would be gratefully accepted

howard · September 23, 2020, 11:34am

I wonder if string variety for that thing will be tough to track down. Though I guess a normal short scale set would work if they taper soon enough.

Mac · September 23, 2020, 11:43am

That’s my concern @howard.
Google search here we go and possibly a call to the Bass Centre in Melbourne

Mac · September 23, 2020, 12:05pm

Okay so La Bella make a special string for the Hofner Violin bass which will also work very nicely for 30” scale basses so I’ve ordered a set and if they’re not right for the Ibanez they should fit my lawsuit era Gibson
