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

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

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

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.

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

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

Go up a few posts to find a useful link on shorty strings.

Wow. Those are thin. Are flats typically thinner than rounds?

No @howard
The ones on P bass are 105 E down to ? but I have thinner100 E string down on he SR650 which I really like the best out of all I’ve got. I will put a set of these on the Fender at some point as they are a pleasure to play and have a beautiful tone. I think they were Thomastik Jazz flats.

I like them. They are a definite improvement over the factory strings.

I like the .105. thinner then that and I think I am on a guitar 
I like the thicker strings, i find the thinner ones dig into my fingers more, and although they may require slightly more pressure to fret properly, the thickness spreads across the finger better. I know we are talking about minute measurements, but it is funny how that tiny bit makes a big difference from person to person

Balance is perfect. Im an old man that had a bad accident sold my toys Harley Davidson 3 quads and bought my self my next love bass guitars. ! Got some other short scale that I will post later.
