Ibanez GSRM20MPL Right-Handed 4-String Bass Guitar in Metallic Purple

3in2yrs: I read a LOT of reviews before deciding on this for a birthday gift. I’m pleased with the purchased. It’s a solid, smaller, great sounding instrument. If she wants to change out and upgrade later with high end components, it will be easy to do, however, as is it should serve her well for a long time. I can’t tell you how cool it is to have 90s grunge playing from the family room before school! I even get shout outs, ‘mom this one’s for you!’ before she starts in on Metallica. Yes, yes, very happy with my purchase!

tahoedawg: I’m not an expert but I love this thing! Workmanship is surprisingly good. I put good flatwounds on it and fiddled with the setup, I wasn’t too nervous about messing with it because of the low price. The neck seems fine so I just set the bridge and intonation, very easy. It sounds amazing! Easy to play and great tone. I can’t believe the quality for the price.
It I a little heavy for its size but that’s the closest I can come to a criticism.
Get one!

Greg F.: I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years. My wife wanted a bass to learn how to play some of her music. I picked this up for her. Got the short scale because well, she is short. I have to say I was impressed. The action was nice which makes it easy for her chord. The sound is surprising. I didn't expect it to be this high of quality for a bass that's really meant for a beginner. I've owned a few higher end Ibanez guitars in the past. I would have to say about the only difference I have noticed is maybe the electronics and hardware. I would definitely buy this again if I needed to.

Flavio Guido de Carvalho: Um ibanez dispensa comentários. Que baixo incrível e com um som muito bom. Eu só não me atentei na descrição que se tratava de um baixo 3/4, mas tudo bem, amei o som dele.

Zach WrightZach Wright: Right, let me give a back story before diving into this review. I'm a beginner bass player, haven't even learned how to play a full song yet. This is the second bass that I've purchased. The first one is a standard 34" scale bass which, as nice as it is, has proven a little difficult for me to play since I'm not used to stretching my hand and arm so much to reach the frets. I recently tried a micro bass at a local music shop and decided that would be the route for me to go.

Fast forward a few days and I ordered this beauty via Amazon. It took a hell of a lot less time for it to ship in than I was quoted which is wonderful. I opened the box like an excited child on Christmas day and to my great surprise, the bass came assembled. I figured I'd have to assemble it and string it together, myself which wasn't a deterrent and let me tell ya, the pictures that I had seen don't do this beauty justice. She gleamed in the light the same way my 4Runner does after a good wash down. So beautiful.

After tuning my bass to E standard, I plugged her in to my amp and began to play the few notes that I know how to play. The neck of the bass felt so comfortable in my hand, the frets...

TXSugar: I'm a beginner and thought just wanted to try a short scale bass on for size; it plays well and definitely easier to learn to play on, fret-wise. It makes a nice and deep sound and the price is very good. If you're a beginner too, I would advise you to consider also the Yamaha TRBX304; it's THE all-around bass guitar, active and passive with five (5) equalizer presets. White is ok; I ordered it because all other colors were out.

Mark Parnell: It’s a great mini Bass , only issue is you need to add 70 pounds to the price for import tax and handling fees !! Please be aware

Michael M: Basso ottimo ma mancano la tracolla e la borsa. La pagina del prodotto con l'immagini è disonesto e ingannevole. Menò male il prodotto è eccellente.

lolotte: cette basse n'est pas parfaite, mais pour ce prix, c'est l'accès à du matériel très correct pour débuter et posséder un instrument adapté aux gauchers. bref, aucun regret.
