Ibanez GSR180-BK Bass Guitar - Black
The Ibanez GSR180-BK bass guitar in black is a great entry-level model that offers a tonally versatile bass from a guitar building giant at an incredible price.
In creating the GSR180, Ibanez have elected to use lightweight mahogany in the construction of the body. Mahogany has a pronounced mid to low-end rumble that is perfect for those who prefer their tone to have some meat on its bones - particularly metallers and rockers. The contoured body shape allows it to sit snugly against the body during performances, whilst the double-cutaway profile enables greater access to the upper frets.
The perfectly proportioned GSR4 profile maple neck counters the low-end rumble of the mahogany beautifully, yielding a cutting mid to upper range snap. Married to the neck is a generously proportioned rosewood fingerboard, which carries 22-frets. The fingerboard makes sure that each note rings out articulately, and however you attack the strings - e.g. slap, funk, fingerpicked, flat-picked - your technique is reproduced accurately.
The GSR180 is equipped with passive PSNDJ pickups in the neck and bridge positions, offering a wide range of tones, which are all achievable by using the delightfully simple control setup consisting of a master tone control, and two volume level controls for each pickup.
