Is the Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Short Scale Bass Guitar good for a beginner?
I have VERY small hands-15 cm fron top of middle finger to middle of my wrist. I am a teenage girl, and is it better for me to wait till Feburary 3rd and pay $20 more for the Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Short Scale Bass Guitar in purple

or should I get the Dean Playmate Edge 10a Electric Bass with Active Electronics in red ($20 less and comes on 12/30)

I’m afraid that If I get the Dean, I can’t reach the notes.
How about the GSR200?

Hmm. That’s a tough one. The Ibanez has a mahogany body which is probably a little heavier which is good for sustaining notes. The Dean has active electronics which is also cool. If you are concerned about the size of your hands you’d probably be better off with the smaller instrument.
