Full Description

Controls & Phat II EQ

Incorporating individual volume controls for each pickup, the GSR200SM allows you to blend both pickup tones to create unique full sounds. The master tone control shapes the bass' frequency response, letting you dial in your own desired preference. Additionally, the built in Phat II EQ circuitry allows active style bass boosting via its one channel EQ preamp, delivering a beefy and deep tone for when you need to add an extra layer of thunder.

Poplar Body & Maple Neck

The GSRM200SM GIO is crafted with a poplar body and jatoba fretboard, which offer good levels of projection, and a good amount of sustain with a clear ringing tone. The neck is made from maple, which provides bright tones with plenty of twang.

Versatile & Expressive Dynamix Pickups

The bass guitar comes equipped with two powerful Dynamix bass pickups in a classic "P/J" configuration. This tried-and-tested combination, of a punchy "P"-style split coil neck pickup and mellow "J"-style single coil bridge pickup, allows the instrument to achieve everything from warm jazz sounds to thunderous rock tones. The two pickups are wired to individual volume controls and share a master tone control, letting you dial in the perfect sound for your playing style.

The GIO Series

It seems most manufacturers have their own entry-level ranges of basses these days and fortunately Ibanez isn't an exception to this rule. Ibanez GIO series basses are exceptional. Each instrument is built to the same high quality specifications as its premium counterpart. If you're looking for an entry level bass guitar by a historically renowned guitar maker then look no further than the Ibanez GIO series basses.
