A Solid Foundational 5-string Bass
The Ibanez GSR205 5-string electric bass delivers uncompromising build quality and playability for bassists of all skill levels. Starting with a lightweight poplar body, the GSR205 adds on the trademark snap and sustain of a maple neck and the silky-smooth comfort of a jatoba fingerboard, all of which encourage hours of fatigue-free performance. Moreover, the Phat II Bass boost and a set of Dynamix humbucking pickups provide a sonic variety of powerful bass tones that can cross musical genres effortlessly. Add in a B15 bridge for easy string changes and adjustments, and the GSR205 is equipped to become your go-to bass from your first notes to your first gig and beyond.
Playability for all
Ibanez’s performance-first mindset is a hallmark of bass design across the music industry, and the GSR205 is no exception. This bass features a durable, slim maple neck that grants you access to fleet-fingered action in every position, while the jatoba fingerboard naturally allows slick movements across its frets. Meanwhile, the lightweight, yet resonant foundation of a poplar body allows you to jam tirelessly for hours, whether grinding out practice time at home or headlining the stage.
Versatile electronics with bass boost
Bass players are quick to note the versatility of the GSR205’s electronics. This genre-fluid bass is equipped with a set of Dynamix humbucking pickups that churn out a wide range of hot, powerful tones, from the warmth and richness of the middle pickup to the authoritative punch of the bridge pickup. You also get separate volume controls for each pickup to dial in your ideal blend of warmth and power. For truly ground-shaking results, Ibanez’s Phat II EQ bolsters your sound with an extra dose of the low end. Whether you’re laying down heavy riffs or establishing a calmer, mellower mood, the GSR205 is capable of cranking out fantastic tone for any musical style or vibe.
