Ibanez GSR200B GIO Bass

Ibanez GSR200B GIO Bass

Finding a great-sounding, great-playing bass at an entry-level price is harder than it looks — but Ibanez has been doing it for decades with the GIO series. The GSR200B delivers a versatile P/J pickup configuration, a fast and comfortable neck, and the PHAT II EQ that gives you real tonal control, all on a platform that won’t intimidate a beginner or bore an experienced player.

Key Features:

• Dynamix P Neck Pickup and Dynamix J Bridge Pickup — The classic P/J combination gives you the full-bodied, punchy thump of a Precision-style pickup alongside the focused, growling bite of a Jazz-style bridge pickup — covering a wide range of bass tones in a single instrument
• PHAT II EQ — Ibanez’s onboard bass boost circuit lets you add low-end punch with a single control, making it easy to dial in a fuller, more powerful sound without a separate EQ pedal
• Maple Neck with Jatoba Fingerboard — A fast, comfortable neck profile that’s easy to navigate, with medium frets that suit both fingerstyle and pick playing
• Nyatoh Body — A tonewood with warm, resonant characteristics similar to mahogany, contributing to the GSR200B’s full, balanced sound
• 34″ Scale Length — Standard full-scale bass length for proper tension, tone, and playability
• B10 Bridge with 19mm String Spacing — Comfortable spacing for both fingerstyle players and those transitioning from other basses
• Black Hardware — Sleek, understated look that complements the instrument’s clean, modern aesthetic
