GSRM20B-WNF : Great little bass guitar

I'll start with some context for this guitar. I'm primarily a guitarist and singer, and recently I have started to get into recording music. For this I initially borrowed a friend's full scale Fender Squire J-bass but I have found it impractical adapting to the larger fret size and neck length. This bass guitar beautifully solves this problem with a significantly more manageable size and means I have to change my style only very slightly when going from guitar to this bass (just for reference, I'm 6'2" so it's not necessarily for short people).

In terms of the sound, I switched the strings out for some D'addario flat wounds which make the sound even more mellow. The pickups seem alright, although I've not had much experience with bass pickups so I'm not really qualified to comment.

In terms of playing, it's got a typical smooth matte Ibanez neck which are always nice to play. The finish is a lovely matte dark brown and fits beautifully with my other guitars.

My one con, which isn't major, was that on arrival I plugged it in to my amp and the electronics didn't seem to work. Took the plate off the back and one of the wires was shorting on one of the pots so I fixed it with electrical tape and it now works fine.

Overall I love it! For the price it's incredible. Get one, it's good for the collection and in my opinion, is an excellent choice for the guitarist who occasionally wants a bit more bass in their life.
