Description

Ibanez produced the GSRM20SLB as part of the miKro Series, a line of short-scale electric basses built around a 726mm (28.6") scale length. The instrument sat at the entry level of the Ibanez bass catalogue, intended for players requiring a reduced-scale instrument.

The GSRM20SLB was built on a poplar body paired with a maple neck designated GSRM4, carrying a jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays and medium frets. The nut width measures 38mm, widening to 58.5mm at the 22nd fret; neck thickness runs 21mm at the first fret and 22mm at the twelfth, with a 305mm radius. String spacing at the B10 bridge is 19mm. Pickups consist of a passive Dynamix P at the neck position and a passive Dynamix J at the bridge, a P/J configuration. All hardware is finished in chrome. The finish on this variant is Starlight Blue.

Owners requiring setup assistance, fret work, or help sourcing compatible replacement hardware should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with short-scale bass instruments.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
