Great little bass for guitarist players
I play electric guitar and wanted to try the bass, so take this review as such.
Since I did not want the full bass experience (long scale and different fret distance, weight, size), this Micro bass is awesome. I can play without looking at the frets, since the scale is very similar to electric guitar.
I've noticed that nobody is mentioning this, but it is a bit neck heavy, although it won't dive all the way down. It will not stay on the same height on your body, where you leave it.
As far as sound is concerned, there are lots of options, but since it is my first bass I cannot comment on this (am using guitar amp, and for me it sounds great). The tone knob does change the sound significantly from min -> med, but then a little less, when it goes from med -> max.
I managed to lower string height quite a bit, but it's easy to play even out of the box.
I would definitely buy again.

My First Bass Guitar for Amateur GIgs at the age of 50
Actually, I'm a guitarist, and ever since I became an engineer, playing guitar, improvising, and recording cover songs have always been my favorite hobbies.
On my current project, a group of former musicians came together to perform at a local pub in the evenings. I ended up taking the role of the bass player. Without hesitation, I decided that I needed a bass guitar that was lightweight, had a distinctive tone, allowed for future pickup upgrades, and, most importantly, featured a short-scale neck.
My choice was the Ibanez GSRM20-BS, and it turned out to be the perfect bass for my needs. Thanks to its short-scale neck, I adapted to it very quickly as a guitarist. The neck is extremely comfortable, and the instrument offers a wide range of sounds, from warm jazz tones to bright, punchy funk sounds.
I paired it with a Behringer preamp, and the bass started to deliver an even more professional and distinctive tone.
Many thanks to Thomann for the opportunity to purchase such a useful and high-quality instrument. I am very satisfied with my choice and would highly recommend this bass to guitarists looking to transition to bass guitar.
