Ibanez GSR 200 B WNF Walnut Flat - 4-String Electric Bass

IBANEZ artist NOMAD,FYI, I am a pro musician of 50 years standing,and play IBANEZ,reviewing 10 of the best available here on Amazon over the last 2 years...Bass is the foundation,and this instrument is a solid foundation for aspiring musicians and future bassists.You get a lot of bass guitar for your money in this classy rendition.The model is a trusted formula,4 string,with copious amounts of volume and tone control,and the addition of bass boost over the 180 in this model ..more deep sounds,even at lower volumes..nice! ...simple to play and tune,it is stylish and suits many bass techniques,including slap,with a full sound,and dare I say a sweet Rickenbacker sound for YES fans..strings are good quality,standard,an active instrument regardless of standard,this sounds gr8.. love the slim smooth neck...my only caviat would be to say ,a 3 quarter size model would be better for under15, because of range and comfort...for everyone else,a fantastic bass for introductory pricing,a solid BUY!

As a beginner, I find this bass guitar perfect. Despite some negative reviews on YouTube, I chose it for its good looks and active electronics. To my surprise, it delivers excellent sound quality, especially when paired with an Orange bass combo. I previously owned a more expensive Yamaha 504, which was well-built, but this bass offers great value and sound, making me prefer it and sell the Yamaha. I enjoy playing it in my spare time and am very satisfied with my choice.

Good size and weight, easy to hold and play. Looks absolutely beautiful, durable and well built. Definitely worth the money for a beginner.

The Ibanez GSR 200 is a great bass for beginners and also for people who know there way around a fretboard. However if you are an accomplished bassist I would look for a higher standard bass like a Fender, for example. If you are thinking of playing a bass in a band like I am, I would certainly recommend this bass to you, as it provides an excellent tone and the pickups are worth there value. The price of this guitar is well thought out; the bass is certainly worth its value in money, accomplishing its full potential. As a buyer of this guitar I would recommend buying this bass and other Ibanez products, as they are perfect for beginner basses and provide great quality. This product scored 4th place on the top four basses, however this bass is much better than second place which is an Encore, and could be worthy opponent to 3rd place; the Yamaha. This product obviously isn't the best on the market as the Fenders and also Gibson basses are a lot better, but this product performs a lot better than Encore, Stagg and would challenge Yamaha basses. If you are this type of person, I really would buy this bass as it produces high quality and is not low range suggested by its price. This really is an excellent bass.

I’ve been using bass loops for a couple of years now and seem to have pretty much exhausted that source. I’ve also used sequencers but it’s just not the same as an actual bass guitar. The resonance and sustain is pretty much in a league of its own when it comes to playing and recording. I usually play a Fender Tele so I know my way around a fretboard and after researching, I thought the Ibanez GSR 200 would be the best choice: I’m not disappointed, it’s a great bass guitar with a great sound and ideal for beginners and experienced alike.

Things have obviously moved on! A few nay sayers about this bass but I can’t see any issues at this level. For the money I can’t fault this bass, nice finish, good action, decent components throughout, I’d recommend for a beginner or some one getting back into it, easily see you through learning to play and onto gigging or as a studio bass, very happy with the guitar, price and the service.

Came not working no sound at all

Arrived on the estimated day. Looks a bit darker than expected but I still like it. When I take a pic with my own camera it also looks a bit lighter in colour than it is with the naked eye. So it is not advertised wrongly in any way. All works fine. Bass boost is nice and it wouldn't sound great without it. It arrived fully set up and even better was that it was in tune. It must have been tuned before being sent. The shop tag was also on it. It came with a cable and manual booklet. Fret board wasn't too dry but I used some fast frett on it to pamper it a bit. It doesn't come with bag or strap so you will need to buy seperately.

Absolutely stunned! When I unpackaged this bass I was impressed. Beautiful white pearl finish, and a buffed smooth maple neck. The first thing I did was put it in my work table. I restrung it with my favorite string, Rotosound light gauge roundwounds. I strobe tuned it and started to play. To my surprise it played perfectly. No height adjustments on strings or pickups needed. The only adjustments I made were intonation on the E and D strings. So then I started playing with the tone. I play through a 25 watt Fender Rumble practice amp. I was set at 12:00 on my tone knobs. When I turned the bass blend knob I got a smile on my face. Suddenly I heard the richest bass tone appear, while not hearing any loss of mid or treble tone. Needless to say, I am happy with this bass guitar. I cannot believe this is a $250 beginner bass. It is perfect in every way. It is lightweight, it plays like a dream, and with my Rotosound strings, it is one of the best sounding basses I’ve ever heard. BUY ONE!

Gebraucht oder beim Transport beschädigt, da Verpackung mies schlecht war. Habe lang dafür gesparrt und bin echt enttäuscht. Sonst funktioniert es und Ton ist echt geil für den Preis.

Très belle,on peut pas demander mieux pour le prix.

Fiyatına göre performansı harika. Tasarımı güzel.

Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Bass . In der Preisklasse bestimmt nicht zu erwartende Qualität und für mich als "Bassender Gitarrist" genau das Richtige. Leicht und gut spielbar und ausreichend sound Auswahl.
