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.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 PHAT-II bass boost if you want to get a little extra push to bring out a heavier sound to your playing.Comfortable Maple Neck and Jatoba Fretboard
… read more 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.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.Features:

"Pearl White Ibanez GSR200-Sexy looks and sexy sounds!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I will not buy another bass. This one does it all for me. If it wears out I'll get another one. If it was stolen I'd buy another one. Next time though I'm getting a very nice gig bag with big pockets.
Sound
As with most Ibanez basses, this one is very agressive and strong sounding. I love it! I own a 1983 Ibanez Roadstar, and this is like the 21st Century version of that! Mine's a Pearl White, and people in the club have mentioned to me that it's gorgeous! It is, too. I wasn't too crazy about an active set of pickups, but the boost really does make a difference.
Features
Once you learn how to use the boost, and blend the two pickups, you can make this one sound like any bass! Very nice.
The bubinga body makes for a very musical, sustaining sound and the neck is fast and slim. 22 frets.
Ease of Use
Easy to dial in great sounds.
Quality
I have a pearl white one and the fit and finish are similar to a 1,200 dollar guitar or more. I love this guitar. I will use it from now on as my main instrument, the neck is so solid.
Value
Fender, Epiphone, Yamaha, all the others can't touch this one for quality and sound. Ibanez just does it right!
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them!
The Wow Factor
Very sexy! Pearl white finish in a very futuristic shape, slim design with a narrow neck. Form a line, girls stud bass player here!
Musical Background:
35 year pro
Musical Style:
80's rock, rat pack, modern country, motown
