Ibanez Review: GWB2

Ibanez Bass Guitars



History:

Purchase: I acquired it at a Keymusic in Belgium for 1900€ (same in dollars)

What I Like About This Ibanez GWB2: The GWB is the Gary Willis signature bass frm Ibanez and features an ash body with a verrrry slim neck for absolute good playability. The tuners are specially designed for good grip and are a plus on the bass.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez GWB2: The sound is good, but i noticed a difference in volume between the G-string and all other strings? The G was far less loud than the other strings, i didn't like that.

Ibanez GWB2 Quality Rating: Ash body, bolt-on neck, Bartolini pick-up, Bartolini 2-way EQ. The pick-up is easy to control with a volume-pot and a concentric high-low pot.



Review Summary: A very fast neck makes it a good player, but the lack of volume on the G is something i didn't expect on a 1800€ bass...

Rating of this Ibanez product: 3
