Ibanez GSR200 GIO Bass

Ibanez GSR200 GIO Bass

The Ibanez GIO series has introduced more players to bass than almost any other line on the market, and the GSR200 shows exactly why. With a lightweight poplar body, a fast maple neck, and the versatile Dynamix P/J pickup configuration, it’s a no-fuss, great-sounding bass that punches well above its price point — exactly what a new player needs to get serious about the instrument.

Key Features:

• Dynamix P Neck Pickup and Dynamix J Bridge Pickup — The P/J combination is one of the most versatile configurations in bass guitar, delivering thick, warm punch from the neck pickup and focused, growling definition from the bridge — giving you a wide tonal range from a single instrument
• PHAT II EQ — Ibanez’s onboard low-end boost circuit lets you add bass presence and fullness with a simple control, great for players who want to feel the low end without needing outboard gear
• Maple Neck with Jatoba Fingerboard — A slim, fast neck profile that’s comfortable and approachable for players with smaller hands, with medium frets suited to fingerstyle, pick, and slap techniques
• Poplar Body — A lightweight, resonant tonewood that keeps the bass comfortable for long practice sessions and gigs alike
• 34″ Scale Length — Full standard scale for proper tension, tone, and feel — no compromise on playability
• B10 Bridge with 19mm String Spacing — Comfortable string spacing that works well for a variety of right-hand techniques
• Chrome Hardware — Classic, clean look that complements any finish option
