GSR200
Overview
If you're ready to bust into the world of electric basses, Ibanez's GSR200 electric bass will bring the heavy with comfortable playability and earth-rumbling tone. This axe is a beginner's best friend, featuring a GSR4 agathis body, a maple neck with a jatoba fretboard of 22 frets, a Powersound P and Powersound J pickup pairing, tone, volume, EQ, and PHAT-II bass boost controls, attractive chrome tuners, and a secure and enticing chrome Standard 4 bridge.

GSR200
GSR4 Agathis Body
Your Ibanez GSR200 electric bass has a body comprised of agathis, a wood found in the tropical far east and the southwest Pacific. It is often referred to as "commercial-grade mahogany," and although your playing might not have the same full-bodied darkness that all-mahogany guitars do, your GSR200 will certainly have a warm color with present lows and mids.

GSR200
Powersound P and Powersound J Pickup Pairing
To capture and project your playing, your GRS200 houses a Powersound P neck and Powersound J bridge pickup combination. These two baddies capture the resonance and low-end rumble of your bass's strings with presence and confident articulation. You won't have to worry about any mud getting in the way of your tone, even when you hit those lower notes on your E string. Your controls also feature a PHATII bass boost if you want to get a little extra push to bring out a heavier sound to your playing.

GSR200
Eye-catching Chrome Hardware
Keeping your strings secure and in tune are your chrome tuners and chrome Standard 4 bridge. Your playing will maintain lasting intonation and enduring sustain when you hold your notes in tonal suspense. Plus, the shimmer of chrome adds an appealing slick character to your GSR200. This axe is an assured testament that a beginner's bass doesn't have to lack in sound or flair.

Comfortable Maple Neck and Jatoba Fretboard
This axe also features a comfortable and resonating maple neck with a smooth jatoba fingerboard. Maple is often a popular choice for necks because of its bright tonal color and the tightness it adds to your lower frequencies. Your playing transfers over smoothly and seamlessly as your hand comfortably slides across this appendage's 22 frets.
Controls & Frequency Response
CONTROLS
There are four knobs on this bass. The two knobs closest to the bridge are the volume knobs. The knob closest to the input jack is the tone knob, and the 4th knob, closest to the neck, is PHAT II EQ knob.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The variable range of the frequency increases from 20 Hz to the high range, and the variable range decreases from the peak around 100 Hz to around 1000 Hz.

-Réception du carton recouvert de scotch et une adresse italienne notée au marqueur.
-Bon je me suis posé la question dès la réception mais j'ai quand même accepté le colis du livreur.
- Déballage, et là je m'aperçois qu'elle n'est pas neuve comme indiqué sur le site mais ayant déjà servi par un client en Italie ! J'ai retrouvé son adresse et son numéro de commande dans la boite !!!
J'ai donc bien réceptionné un retour client vendu comme produit neuf....
Et hélas j'ai compris pourquoi l'article à déjà été retourné.
Il m'était impossible de sortir un son de cette guitare basse. Les cordes même après avoir essayé de les accorder frottaient le manche. De plus l'électronique ne sortait aucun son sur mon ampli.
Je pense que c'est un bon instrument mais ce dernier était bine défectueux...
Retour à l'envoyeur !
A nostro parere ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, solo il packaging è sembrato essenziale. La confezione non contiene cavo, custodia o altro da acquistare a parte.
