Ibanez GSRM20B-WK

Bass for absolute beginner

This is the very first bass that I have purchased, and I have to say that I am deeply satisfied. Leaving aside the esthetics (which is a solid 10 imo), the bass is very confortable to hold, its short size is a plus for beginners since it requires less effort to get a hold on the instrument. The sound quality is surprisingly good, more experienced bass players or better trained ear might disagree, but for beginners it is more than enough. Overall, I highly recommend this bass for any absolute beginner that want to get a hold on this magnificent instrument.

Really nice quality for a mikro bass. Sounds nice and details as a normal size Ibanez.

It will not look like what you expect

I've waited long to find this special finish available: the weathered black as displayed on these pictures is gorgeous, you can notice the details of the wood in the glossy body BUT !

But when I opened the box, I found a matte almost completely plain bass guitar.

The sound is good, even though I did'nt manage to reproduce the growly sound which is promissed in the sample sounds of the description (maybe it is me)

I bought this bass because after 10 years with an Ibanez BTB I wanted to have fun with a Ukulele Bass and I found the short scale soooo easy to play that I decided to go for this 28" Mikro bass.

I would have been happy if the bass was as promissed in the pictures but it is not.

So, Be careful, if you are looking for a gsrm20, other colors might be accurate (according to the pictures) for a lower price sometimes, but not this one.
