The GSR205SM is a beautiful bass from Ibanez. Ibanez is a Japanese guitar brand that has been producing electric basses for years. They are known for their high-quality basses that they sell for relatively low prices. Moreover, the basses are made of great materials. The GSR205SM has an okoume body which produces a warm sound. On top of the okoume is a layer of maple, which, combined with the wood stain, gives the body that beautiful pattern. Additionally, the bass has a maple neck and a purpleheart fretboard. This combination will provide you with a comfortable playing surface and a nice sound. Furthermore, the bass has two humbucker pickups and a PHAT II knob. With this knob you can add more power to the lower frequencies. The bass also has separate volume controls for the two pickups so the sound is more versatile. With these pickups you can produce a broad sound whilst still having access to different types of sounds.
