All user reviews for the Ibanez Jumpstart GSR190J

I use it for 10 months, this is my first bass.
I'm not above, the pack contained everything we needed to start, but it is absolutely necessary to change the strap (low falling too often) and a jack junk (there's a good 10 euros).

It is very light and access to the acute problem free! by against micro take his shots mediator, fingers and makes bad on the amp (which is aileur weakling).

The value for money is very good, it sounds good (to me very good players they say) the slap no problem.

With the experience I will take something more jazzy because its really very neutral, but I urge the beginning because I grew with very quickly!.

Goodbye

I bought this pack there are 8 months now. This one contains:
A low-BK Ibanez GSR190JU finish (black) or R (red) to choose from.
A BSA-amp Ibanez Oct. 10 Watts, 3-band legalization, hp 8 inch between headphone.
A-tuner bass and guitars.
One-strap.
-A kit with accessories such as: * of picks
* Plug to 2 meters
* A crick in the neck settle.

Commenont by the amp: the sound is just fine for beginners, but good for group play his pass just right if there is no drummer vidamnent ^ ^
Well, the 3-band legalization is good for beginners, teaches a argler his sound! Exceeds only problem when the volume 3 (which is low given the low rev power) must then correct the agalisatation, gus by adding and removing low, otherwise it makes its satture BZZZZZZZZZZ standard in amp is pretty awful.

The tuner lacks precision but is not bad. It fulfills its role tuner. Nothing to add.

The strap has nothing to say except that it is a belt and what not to n'arette drgler otherwise the holes for the matre machines after the bass (I even know how his Sapele ^ ^) and many holes n'arettent not widened or damaged! I will soon have to buy a new strap because it will take longer I feel! The strap is not great but it's just a strap and dance is not too inportant.

And finally passont has lment's largest package ... Bass.
The no problems! It is a low gniale for beginners. The sound is more than adequate, the rglages are simple (one knob for micro precision, and one for the other microphone) when it is used to troisime argler the Tone. The sound is good! frankly for the price of the pack should be almost the price of the bass alone! I dja ayssay of low medium and high-end, and my taste the sound is not bad at all (should not expect that the Stingray has a comparable pa ^ ^) I has kept it forever because it is my very first bass. Forever? Yes, but what should follow, I micro meters a "azz bass" for the microphone down and a "precision bass" for the top one, and later perhaps to change the handle, and it has really good sound! Only problem! it's not a bass pro either! I would even danc off the handle too much tendency to bend forward and is often rergler, but from this simple dfault the bass is rather well the road.

The pack in it even, given the quality of the bass, has a good report quality price trs (290 bought the whole) it takes the road well!

-Made in China
-22 Frets, two pickups (bridge, neck)
A volume-knob, and a micro
Channel referred

I find the handle comfortable and access to acute is easy. For the form it depends on the tastes of mine and I like it black. The weight is well distributed it does not lean, it is not too heavy. The settings are simple, personally I play with three knobs at the bottom, sometimes I just turn down the microphone near the handle.

I play hard rock / metal with this bass and it suits me well, there will be better it's still a beginner bass but there are ways to have a really round his grave.
I play with two amps, a small XP 250B (20W) for the house I admit the sound is average (at the same time is filled with bad) and a Behringer Ultrabass BX1200 (120W) to repeat and there's the sound really good and is not I who say it all sounds really good, all without multi purpose.

I use it for 10 months, what I like most is its design and ease of use. I is not tried other models before it's my first and I think still keep at least a year (about 2 years). I find the price / quality ratio exellent for the price it is very good and more expensive you can have less! This choice I would do without hesitation.

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
21 frets, micro Fender Jazz and Precision type, passive, black
What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Floating bridge as prcdemment said.
What rglages (volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?
Two volume knobs (one for mic), and a knob of Tone.

What type of race?
Imitation rosewood handle (certified sweat accumulates). The highs are easily accessible even if there is a lack of fluency has put our paw at the end (I did not test much lower and this is my Premire, but a handle would be less pais better).

I also noticed that oxidize frettent lgrement

I put 7 / 10, because it's not bad for a bass this price range.

The handle is it enjoyable?
As I said, Access in acute is a bit difficult when you want to put the four fingers because of a race may be a little pais. Apart from a, it's a real pleasure to play it.

Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
Hmm ...

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
This bass is trslgre. It does not feel to feel, despite weighing just dsquilibr.
There is, against something, I do not know is that to me, but sometimes when I play at the NINTH box of my rope R E string starts vibrating while only a very little. It's almost inaudible, except when playing with distortion.

Appropriate are your style of music?
I play a little bit of everything, some rock / punk, some rock a little more cool, sometimes funk: It is appropriate at all.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play with the amp came with. This is the beginners, but is limited in its empty rev band of serious (can not have nice low round with). Since then, I use it as a DI, then connect a console other speaker, while waiting for a real amp.
I jou on a low-end distortion to try again, a fate not too bad when it is rgl.

What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
You can have a trs his "electric guitar" by switching on the micro Fully Jazz, like fine low round of the microphones with the precision Tone to a minimum. I'm sorry for against the diffrence Submitted volume too, which may even be caractriser by large "pops" when playing too hard. The slapping sounds well or trs.

What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
With rglages purposes, I russi find a sound that I like particulirement, well rounded bass with good attack. But I pass by EQ 2 (console + amplifier) ​​and an external sound processor to get l. However, what dplait me the most is the lack of precision and volume in the acute and slap. Both basses sound trs strong fingers, and treble you really look for them, or there is little low and many acute (and other config knobs), as contrast to slap it's hard look for when you hit low on the stick and the highs are crystal clear when one takes trs. It is this lack of balance that I deny the most.

Note that I changed the strings original APRS 6 months (when the G string lch me. I took GHS .45 -. 100 is the day and the night, its totally silent diffrent (much better), but the problem still Submitted deficits.
Also, I think it is great balance of plant. If I keep, I certainly emmnerai in a luthier or other specialist in the making rviser correctly.

How long have you use it?
Since September 2008, nine months.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plutt good sound for the price I got for something like 250. The handle is plutt good overall, too, the electronic air reliably, and I have not had a problem of jack or easel.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
This is my Premire low, so they are not.

How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
With the exprience I would recommend this bass srement someone who wants to beginners. Now with a deeper level I direct them towards plutt MODELS above, as ATK310 Ibanez or Fender Mexico, according to the style.

Passive instrument, manufactured in Asia
22 frets
2 microphones
Controls: 2 volumes (one for each pickup) and a knob for the tone.

The bass is very light which is quite important when you start ... and the handle is very nice to give a very comfortable game ..
The ergonomics are excellent in sitting or standing ..
As for sound we get a good sound easy but be careful not to push too hard The tone in acute if we sound a little too metal ..

If you buy this bass new online remember to adjust the tension of the neck and the action of the strings are set too high for my taste, for once against set correctly no problem (you can put the strings close enough to handle without it frieze).

I play mainly rock and metal and this bass should pretty well with these two styles, one is easily obtained his greasy which coupled with a small distortion can have a big sound very nice ..
I repeat if you push the key fully into the sharp snapping sound too ..

on the other hand I do not like the strings of origin frankly once replaced by strings better, it seems to have a new bass!! it's good to know because to play a string of 20 euros will greatly improve your sound.

I use it for 3 years, I had bought to get started on bass now I'm moving to a higher model.
The value for money is excellent you can find opportunities for 150 euros!
in short, a good model to start low.
Yes I would do with the experience that choice.

This pack contains:

Bass-ibanez gsr190
A cover-Ibanez (ultra thin, only for transportation, to protect will review copy ...)
A BSA10-amp if I'm not mistaken. It is not joy ... major weakness of the pack.
- The picks
- Jack
- Keys to adjust the handle
- An electronic tuner (you will not expect a super tuner with LCD display, but just something with blinking LED ...)
- For how long have you been using it?

Since very little time, being a beginner and want to start big bass, I chose this pack and was able to use it four days ago, so my opinion is not the time nor the comparison with other low, my experience is not very large.

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
I love the look of this bass, mine has a black head in contrast to the picture presented is even better ...
What I like least is clearly the amp, which is not really the best in the world, I think I'm about to buy another, but at least you can play from the Release package is not an amp for a gig, or even it is just a bit to really disturb the neighbors ....

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, this is the problem, always try before you buy, what I did not see fit to ... big mistake.

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Really not too bad for playing right away to not really expensive.

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
No, I would take the above model, which is a GSR200 active bass with the same qualities as this one, but another amp a Blue cab style or one that is fair.

I use this pack for 4 years, finally I got it 4 years ago More precisely.
I've tried anything else before, it advised me to lower primarily for its ergonomics, pleasant handle, and its not too bad for a beginner bass. APRS sudden I had the opportunity to try the low-end of some of my friends, stagg, harley benton honntement etc and the Ibanez is doing better.
What I like most is the ergonomics of the bass, I like the least amp that quickly becomes useless because it is so rotten.

The price quality ratio is excellent for:

-Bass, the sound is frankly well compared to other low-end of. Well maintained and RULES, I come with strings Dunlop draw a seed for nice bass this View Categories.
Its ergonomics is also a very good point. It is lgre, although balance, comfortable playing as assi standing, the neck is pleasant, ideal for beginners though gently, without confronting the outset a tree trunk as a handle.
-For the tuner who does his job
Mdiators them because several models I believe (I'm not very even on when, all fawn seen the price of drisoire mdiators they're a bit mad actually ^ ^ and then you work your game to the finger if you mdiators does not match ^ ^)
The small-package to keep everything nice like a nice boy, for not that old you break by saying: "howww is a mess, tidy your room" when there's just a jack and a tuner in the middle of the room ^ ^
Cons by the report quality price excrable for:

-Amplifier, which provided me very quickly and distortion dgueulasse Escaping any contrle. So much so that today even with the volume between 0 and 5 I have a horrid and continuous crpitement amp ptouille "when I play the bass (but be careful It is a 10 watts (ie low) and when you are beginner, it is bte, you put the volume quickly BOUZILLE thoroughly and the amp). I use to disassemble and see how it's done the interior and since I'm too lazy to go back because I dsormais other amps better.
-Strap, which wear out very quickly the slots and could bring down your instrument.
-The cable jack that DGRAD quickly if it is folded for storage every time, or if you drive too often with his top desk chair ^ ^.

I will ever exprience with this choice because the main objective is fulfilled: a beginner bass with his pretty and comfortable ergonomics, good for you to feel comfortable in your dealings with this fabulous first instrument, the bass.
I put 7 only because of the amp mainly.

PS: Note that g is my pack of 4 years, I think the amp is no longer done everything the same in packs today, at least in appearance.

Specs:
- 4-strings electric bass guitar
- Two passive pickups with one volume and two tone controls
- Bolt-on neck with 22 frets
- Fender-like Ibanez bridge (floating)
- Ibanez machine heads
- Made in China

Usability:
Very pleasant neck although I prefer necks with a natural finish. Very easy access to the upper frets even when you stretch the strap to the maximum. The body shape isn't annoying but it doesn't look nice (I'm a jazz fan lol). I like the color (red).
I can easily get almost every sound I want using the controls and the amp's EQ.

Sound:
It's my first bass guitar so I can't compare it to other instruments. Of course it's not a Fender sound but it's ok. With the right setting you can get a Musicman-like sound. Rich overtones. The sound is good for finger picking and slap playing. For tapping the results aren't that good.
Both pickups sound very different. One of them has a round sound and the other a more neutral sound. Depending on my mood I like to play with one or the other or both of them. I play it with the amp provided in the pack or with a Fender Rumble.

Overall opinion:
It's my first bass guitar and I'm happy with it. I've been playing it with my band for 10 months and I like it. I use Fender strings. A small critique: One of the machine heads doesn't work properly but it only needs to be tightened. <p class="bbcode-offtopic">Off topic: <span>But I'm too lazy.</span> As a summary, this bass guitar fits the needs of beginners but I will buy a new one because I'm tired of its sound and my taste has evolved :D
Very, very good to learn how to play bass guitar!
