The Mikro Gio: The Ibanez Spirit in a Compact Version
The GSRM20-SLB is part of Ibanez's Gio family, designed to offer an accessible instrument without sacrificing the brand's DNA: ergonomics, playing comfort, and efficiency. Within the range, the Mikro stands out for its reduced size, especially appreciated as a first bass, for young musicians, or as an easy-to-carry backup instrument.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its short scale and intuitive handling, this bass is primarily aimed at beginners, guitarists wanting to switch to bass, as well as experienced bassists looking for a highly practical secondary. Its PJ configuration makes it comfortable in many genres: pop, rock, funk, variety, indie, and any context requiring an effective bass that's easy to place in the mix.
Sound
The poplar body provides a pleasant balance, with a homogeneous response and versatile character. The maple neck promotes attack and definition, while the jatoba fingerboard adds a firm feel and precise articulation. The combination of Dynamix P (rounder, rich in low mids) and Dynamix J (more focused, sharper) pickups covers both thick, warm lines and more edgy, defined sounds. The short scale reduces string tension, facilitating bends and fast playing, while giving a smooth feel under the fingers.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully enjoy the short scale format, prioritize a short scale bass string set. A strap and a tuner are also simple essentials suited to this bass for comfortable and in-tune playing, whether at home or rehearsal.
