Review: Great fit for smaller hands - Great Bass for a decent sound. A little time setting nut height, neck relief and pick up heights and it was off to the races!! Smaller handed adult, easy to play and comfortable as it weighs less than a full size bass. So far so good, more than worth the price in my opinion
Review: Great Bass for the player with normal hands! - After tuning it, I tried it out. It's great having a smaller bass with great sound like this Ibanez! It looks great, sounds good, and is responsive. One of the best things is that it's on the smaller side, enough that those of us who aren't wide receivers or have long fingers can easily play it! I'm thrilled I spent a little more to get an Ibanez over the lower-priced basses. The price is still very reasonable, and Ibanez has an excellent reputation for quality instruments.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between fret spacing on this ibanez mikro bass and the squire ss jaguar?**
A: The mikrobass has a 28.5" scale length, and I'm pretty sure the jaguar has a 30" scale length so the mikrobass will have frets a bit closer together. I've had mine for a good while now, and I gotta say,  I really enjoy the mikrobass!! It's light, small, zippy as can be, and has great tonal versatility for so inexpensive an instrument! Hope this helps!

**Q: does this come with the cable?**
A: No. You need your own.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: Mine was made in Indonesia. I've been told they are made for about $10-25 each. BUT mine is easy to play, has good sound, and doesn't feel cheap.

**Q: Right under "neck material type" "maple" it says number of strings 6. does it have 4 strings or 6?**
A: Mine was a 4-string bass, as it says in the heading.  Probably a cut-and-paste mistake in the details listed. Anyway, Amazon is good about returns--or just learn to play a 6-string bass ;)
