Ibanez Review: GSR205

History:

Purchase: paid 199 pounds from merchant city music

What I Like About This Ibanez GSR205: this thing grows on you,build quality is excellent the metalware is great,and you will hear the neck is great >> its more its blissfull to play,the phat system and the range of dull thud to tin metal tones is covering all timbres the finish is top class i say this having tried,tested inspected may basses in this price range >> get one !!you will not part with it

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez GSR205: just a couple niggles 1) the battery cover should be quick releas not have to use a screwdriver 2)i had a faulty volume pot,when i inspected the soldering joints they were badly done, Indonesians need to be trained better,it was amature 3)with a low B string the set up has to be exact i made several changes probably needs a pickguard but>>> its a hell of a bass for the money

Ibanez GSR205 Quality Rating: very well made electrics could be better installed,the fretts and neck are top class,the saddle is also nice,the sustain is awsome

Review Summary: can hold its own with much more expensive models,i love this bass,just try one, i will get a 4 string soon but this is # 1 for me

Rating of this Ibanez product: 5
