Thanks to its excellent price/performance ratio and the well-known high Ibanez quality, the Ibanez GSR205B-WK Weathered Black is the ideal electric bass for beginners who want to start directly with the extended range of a five-string. But also for advanced players who are looking for new ways of expression or need a classically constructed second instrument, this five-string is worth a look.
The construction with a mahogany body and a screwed maple neck gives the Ibanez GSR205B-WK Weathered Black a warm and defined basic sound with long sustain and precise attack, where even the low H-string does not fall off from the rest of the strings. Thanks to the slim GSR5 neck profile and the flat 12" fretboard radius, the Ibanez GSR205B Fivestring has an extremely comfortable playability despite the wider fretboard, which also allows beginners to groove without fatigue.
The powerful Ibanez Dynamix humbuckers in the neck and bridge position of the Ibanez Gio GSR205B-WK Weathered Black deliver rich bass sounds with excellent foundation and a lot of punch, whereby even the low H-string is transmitted clean and defined. With the active Ibanez Phat II EQ you can significantly boost the low end, giving the sound even more power and pressure. The Ibanez B15 bridge guarantees a perfect intonation of the five-string, while the encapsulated tuners give it a high tuning stability for every string.
