    Just what I have always been looking for! Instead of joking around though I'd rather they would make the bass equivalent to their Bass9 Bass Machine, for guitar to sound like a bass, the Guitar9 Guitar Machine, for bass to sound like a guitar.

    Hated that one, no matter which Toneprint I use, or how much I tweaked it, send it back. Best phaser ever is the original big box EHX Small Stone phaser, but the Behringer clone, the VP1 Vintage Phaser does an amazing job at sounding just like it, better than EHX's own Nano reissue.

    Then show the huge man Stanley Clarke with his huge hands and petite 30" short scale main electric bass and what he can do with that, as well.

    I think the bad reviews might primarily concern the early Chinese made ones, the quality went considerably up when production moved to the Cort factory in Indonesia. That's right, Cort makes these basses now for Ibanez, and the quality is pretty consistently great, even pretty amazing considering the price point. As for the weight I have little idea as to the current production, since they have changed body and fretboard wood types since mine were made.

    It does come in purple though, which might be passable (note that this is for some reason an old picture, the Mikros now come with proper metal dome knobs):

    The Ibanez GSRM20 and GSRM20B Mikro Bass is an amazing bass. I both got the 4 and 5 string GSRM25 version, and both sounds pretty great from stock, with a pickup upgrade no short of amazing even, and the frets were basically dead on perfectly leveled from stock, and super fun to play.

    I would say growl rather than just being a mids heavy tone contributes to a fairly specific combination of low and high mids. My best guess would be something like a bump at around 200Hz or so, and then a bump as well around 1kHz to 2kHz or so. Like a combination of low mids punch and high mids grind.

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of string action do you have on your 5 string GSRM25 Mikro Bass? I got just slightly bellow 2mm on the lowest string at last thread (and could easily go even lower if I wanted to without any fret buzz). My lowest string though is a .080 G string, and I do utilize a relatively light touch, but I reckon that I actually could get a .125 or .130 low B string just as low, cause the frets seems to be absolutely dead on perfectly leveled on this bass (was so right from factory, no fretwork done).

    Honestly I don't even remember.

    Many years ago I bought a vintage 70's Rickenbacker 4001, cause it looked so damn cool, and I had that kind of money back then. It sounded okay, but wasn't exactly blown away by it, I still thought my Aria Pro II Laser Electric Classic (yes, made in Japan on the Matsumoku factory, and still own that bass by the way), sounded way better, and I ended up hating how it felt in my hands and played in general. Most expensive piece of absolute crap I ever bought.

    Not two equal sized pieces of the same wood type weights exactly alike, not even from the same tree, and sometimes the variations can even be fairly significant.

    Apparently not for me, I much preferred the tone of the EMG preamp samples in the comparison demo. - Who is it that makes the WAL like HPF/LPF, with resonant peaks, filter preamp, can't recall the name of the company or the preamp model? But that would what I personally would chose, if I was to upgrade one of my passive basses with an onboard preamp.

    The order you wrote them in is fine, you might want to experiment with putting the chorus before the overdrive and see which order you like the best, and the preamp last, right before the poweramp.

    I love it!

    No, but I do own the California (Mesa Boogie), American (Fender) and Oxford (Orange), in the same series of pedals. And I kind of plan on getting the British (Marshall) at some point too. Must admit I don't like the California, too dark for my taste, sounds muffled to me, but you can get some serious monstrously ballsy heavy distortion out of it with the Drive knob cranked. I like the American, but mostly for guitar, though it has received quite a lot of praise both used for guitar and bass, and even used as stand alone bass preamp. I love the Oxford, you can get some really amazing snappy grindy and grunty drive tones out of it, but sounds great as a low gain overdrive as well.
