All user reviews for the Ibanez Gio GSR200

Tt what others have said .. Note that the handle agathis is very good and very fragile

UTILIZATION

The hyper maunche is pleasant to START .. Believe me I am a beginner, very easy to handle a Magna, and it is the fingers without hurting himself. Its weight is very good .. not too heavy nor too light .. very nice for a repeated. I compare the sound of the GSR 200 is a squier, epiphone one, and a Yamaha (do not buy yamaha) located at about the same price level, and c an excellent for its price .. the form it is assimilated very pleasant, it is quite "thin" as low, and strong enough to c above cheeks

SOUNDS

Personally, I play funk and rock on a Fender amp, and the sound is very correct. If you make repeated in a good studio amp with huge goliath of style, sound genial. C for jazz bass great, and the ki are a fan of metal or neo metal, if you set everything back the sound is ok .. but there are better .. is a versatile bass, this is ke ki playing on the set you can reach it to find any sound, ki is enormously satisfying for the price .. the other reviewers say it's a passive bass but I do not agree .. it is active, not only is it a setting PCQ "attack" but the sound is not prw weak as a squier o same price. roughly the ratio quality price is excellent, and I would do this choice.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent for low debuter.une handles very pleasant to start, and slight (!!). the fact that it is a versatile bass is great and I highly recommend the Ibanez GSR 200 for those tt ki sherche a low around 250euros. at the beginning between a gt and an ibanez yamaha rbx 180 ... Make no mistake, buy the ibanez .. c low and very high quality-price ratio reflects the brand 100%.

Everything has already enrolled silent.
But how good note, for beginners it is low by nikel cons when compared with the range and well above the forcing is less then top j'met June 1

UTILIZATION

The handle, well Sympatica but lacks flexibility.
To Access in acute nothing to say it is no problem with cons for me it was necessary to mimic as many frets was not well posed.
Ergonomics nothing to say the shape is nice for the price the finish is good trs.
It is not too heavy it is not super Legris.
To the sound ... I'm gonna be the cons by a little severe for me because is not top 'em (although that is a low beginners and type of bass is not bad, but there's better)
J'met 5 as a cause of frets if not for the price it is J'lui 9

SOUNDS

You can play any style with a little but not too harp on the strings for his slaps easily especially if you change the tuning (j'maccorde tone below). Forget the slap is not made for .
To play with me, because I have I use a Hartke B20 neighbor which is not bad I have a Samick ba25 c and no top at all (with the lower the better because with the intrument Samick more potato)
For his knob is not a little to settle because there is not really a great sound with this bass so get it all back.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 2 years.
J'laime well but I'll soon Sparer me because I play in groups and for live and studio recording is not all it takes.
For beginners I think it's the bass IDAL is cheap and you just play on for a long time before changing gear.
Report qualitprix is ​​the top. (Always rub the little frets)
J'lai buy because I can not afford to go over again and if I do it again c'tait has the same choice.

For specifications see data more detailed than the manufacturer that I could do

UTILIZATION

Like any low it must be resolved before talking about mine was very high and bordered on the bottom floor of the handle. A walk in the luthier hop and nickel (the men are required). The handle is very easy always a bit round but as I have for some of the hands of the lumberjack ............! frets are forgotten in the game and that's all they are asked. the sound is still very active in the modern tonality change much between the two microphones (on some you wonder if it has changed but the not) then turn the little button and it is passive and oh! miracle blues is at your door the bass is more rounded and smooth (j'fais effort level vocabulary eh)

SOUNDS

Hyper versatile then slap the asset-liability is straightforward and powerful. I played on an Ibanez (would like!) 65 watts in a studio is more than enough. they are made for each other is remarkable and this amp can be positioned back with Erte accounts for cd or more can play the favorite CDs. brief the couple super low amp

OVERALL OPINION

Almost two years with two Ibanez (bass amp and for those who would jump chapters prcedants) for less than 500 euros I sound super clean and well balanced with the more versatile asset-liability option Lots Style at hand. for one-third the price of a fender us a worth a try. the short happy garsde its purchase I can be to try the 5 string but the speech is another

_22 Boxes
_2 Passive pickups
_1 Gain knob for micro
_1 Knob tonalitbr /> _ + 1 active electronic knob (adds a fucking punch!)
_ Good mcaniques
_ The handle does not move hardly (even during transport and change temprature)

UTILIZATION

It is not too heavy, you can play for hours without having to back pain.
The shape is pretty trs, fairly modern, and it is very well balance, she is alone, sitting upright like we play.

Access in acute nickel is up to the box dernire ... the handle is gnral trs enjoyable to play (for it is well seen RULES).

SOUNDS

The rglages are easy:

_micro handle alone: ​​the sound is very round and warm but not crystalline trs

_micro only bridge: the sound is more Submitted (over medium and treble), a little fat (good for solos)

_ Both microphone: sound is round and warm, but still powerful and prcis, however it is a little more distance. (This is the way I prfre)

I almost always leave the knob of active substance, and gives me a volume control without changing the quality of sound ...

His only inconvniant my taste, is that it does not sound quite crystalline, and may be missing some prcsion.

Overall it is quite versatile, but is more for rock type etc ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years, and she did not default.
It's really a super low to begin and progress.
I particulirement palette of sounds that can be obtained with, especially the potato she (qualisation active).
I was consulting all beginners or average level that does not want to ruin, and have a low active even when!

The report qualitprix is ​​excellent, one of the first model the asset price.

United States-made (I think)

-22 Frets, 3 pickups

One-knob tone that can give both a metallic and slamming (at least) that a warm, round, even though much fat if you configure the amp (maximum)

-Maple neck

UTILIZATION

The handle is very ergonomic, hand glides over her own. to access acute, no problems, the form is well suited. the bass is very nice, very shiny black (only problem: we see a lot of fingerprints) and it is very light. to get a good sound, so good, we just easily switch to a metallic sound fat (especially with the seven bands of EQ my amp Hartke A100

SOUNDS

The sounds are perfectly suited to metal, but the GSR-200 also adapts well to jazz. I play with a Hartke A100 (100 watts) and I buy a pedal saturation (for a good well trash ). Finally, I love all the sounds of the bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I play regularly and all is well. I love this bass, LeSon and look, but I do not like fingerprints very visible on the varnish. the price / quality ratio is very good, jel'ai paid 275 euros and I have no regrets. with experience, I would do this willingly choose, but I prefer a Fender (but it is not even taken: D)

It's a bass with 22 frets, active and passive mode, plus a rglage acute / grave and a "boomer" to boost the sound. The bass itself is beautiful, and finally what I'm told, so it's not necessarily the advantage first, but it still has the time of selection.

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite enjoyable compared to other bass in the same range that I tried it apprcie that it is somewhat large for beginners. Access in acute ISSA is not the most but it does not demand an extraordinary contortions of the wrist. Another good point is the weight of this is really quite dernire lgre, so it makes it easier to grip. For sound, I rgler the string height above the E string is too high to departure. Once dtail rgl no problem!

SOUNDS

I play rock and funk on a home and studio amp Berhinger an ampeg. For positive I would say that j'apprcie broad palette of sound between two microphones assets / liabilities and the acute / grave. I play finger and slap for the latter mode I is more acute for more attack. For ngatif I would say that the highs are not trs own but not less than the other low so the price of nothing serious.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought new a year ago for 240euros, I do not regret my choice because it is a good versatile bass, which allowed me to try all kinds of game (finger, slap, mdiator). In my opinion it is a low IDAL way for beginners and bassist (me I'm beginners). Voil if I had the choice again I would do it again without hsiter because the report is good quality.

Made in Asia, of course
For the rest nothing very different from previous posts

UTILIZATION

Personal 12 years (yes) I move with a fender squier precision bass, so passive, active and wanting one I opted for the GSR200
Ri-in to see;
The handle is greatly facilitated access by the ergonomics of the beast
The GSR200 is proving very comfortable working as low-repeat
The sound for me, but hey, the fat of my fender is not perfectly, then the coup in the two ... I repeat, following the tracks!

SOUNDS

More than correct, the different settings can turn unhurriedly.
My group is a bunch of old geezer who does that of the recovery (in bulk Shivaree, Red Hot, Wilson Pickett, police, De Palmas, Clapton ...)
So eclecticism is so vast that to do well I would need 3 or 4 low ...
With the GSR200, it does it all alone ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months now
I love the look of the top handle, this small fragile side but quickly absorbed to listen
Value for money is the top
Repeat this choice? oh yeah then, without hesitation!

See sheets before.
This low possde of active pickups (a P-Bass type to the handle, a type Jazz at the bridge), but not an active legalization.

UTILIZATION

This is my first bass, and I have virtually no touch before, but let's say:

- The neck seems great, it seemed to me that the imitations of Fender bass, the biggest round silent ... Finally it seems that it is for the world of bass that the sleeves are Ibanez guitars for the world ^ _ ^

- Ditto for Access in acute, they did not lsin the depth of cuts

- It is super lgre ... I get up without playing with strap, it is to say (not sr good I can do a time not more eh ...)

- For rglages: volume of each micro + tone + "boost", the change in feeling especially adjusting the volume balance between the two microphones

SOUNDS

Although this is the "funk" that I really did not jump on, I like to play a little bit of everything with this low kind of Motorhead, Maiden or the Police that IOTC in what I ' trying to play the Chic, Indeep's or Luther Vandross.

Well this bass seems to me a versatile all adequate, the kind that requires a first deuxime see an instrument, the time to really know what you want.

I thought that some techniques li apprhender difficult instrument, I found myself out and even slaps agreements fawn pretty clean considering it's the very first time that I have the opportunity to REALLY play the bass.

The micro-type P-bass is serious trs, trs trs fat, while the micro type Jazz is more crystalline. It's the balance by increasing volume and decreasing the one of the other.

Gnral in the pure P-bass provides well for the metal and jazz to funk, but the best is to refine.

As on my guitar, I always leave the tone on its value the most acute, otherwise the sound is too tuft my taste, and I do not feel much about rglages intermdiaires.

OVERALL OPINION

I understood that the active pickups can do gnrer virtually no noise, yet I perois with a micro type Jazz, while the P-Bass type is completely silent (I use a cable style "neutrik" o the surprise of hearing a noise at all).

So the choice of an active low micro seems to me more sensible trs: the boost is not that useful but also if the battery falls in the harbor, I can not play ...

That said, I tried two other basses before buying this one:
- A SX P-Bass imitation: c'tait first prize in the store, I expected it to take the base

- A Yamaha, which makes pens look it, but the sound ...

The sound of these two was really cheap low cot of this Ibanez: prsence had no other, no dynamic, no power, its silent compltement neutral tasteless. The silent test while on the same amp with the same rglages course.

However this low-l silent a little more expensive than the other two, in fact it Exceeds my budget of some Euros.
J'tais came to me saying "any Manir I can not play, then you can take the cheaper", but by listening to this bass, and playing it, I thought I could do the effort to put a little extra for something right away to INTERESTED, a price that was frankly super-affordable.
That said I do not have a bone test Squier Precision Bass, because the budget gap became too large and I did not add spices to the dilemma, but I do not think that would Squier t normment better nor as versatile, and I do not speak of something that is extra (forms and finishes).

I did that for about one month and this is my Premire low, it said it confirms what I thought of Ibanez in the area of ​​the guitar: report qualitprix / Versatile / equipment without faults

I know it does not o factory but considering the price I think it's in countries east ^ ^.
It has 22 frets and two microphones: one PB and JB.
Two volumes, one tone and a boost.
The lctronique is active.
The handle is comfortable, standard, fine enough.

UTILIZATION

As I said the handle is rather enjoyable, although lim on cots, thin and rather flat.
The access to treble is good and is done without problem.
Ergonomics are good, rounded and adapting the morphologie.Niveau weight is not heavy nor Legré, it is normal.
To get a good sound is a little tinkering four knobs, but it's not complicated.

SOUNDS

I play metal instead. I manage to have a sound powerful enough.
I play on a Hartke B300 me I sound good with trs.
By repeating 'I play Peavey large and there is still a better sound, although powerful echoes in the guts.
The boost is feeling well and is effective for TRS give a boost.
I play gnral its clean, I can have a good sound for a bass in this range is satisfactory trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 10 months.
I like its shape, comfort and sound.
I hsiter with Cort, but I finally leaned over it.
Despite all these good points even when I had some problems with microphones at the beginners JB walked a bit when he wanted so I enmener me to the store and resumed carrment low to give me another.
The report qualitprix is ​​good for an active bass and more.

I can remake that choice to be or will turn to Jackson can be as ^ ^ give me to play DJ on the scratch Jackson and I've always does extremely satisfied.

Indonsie manufacturing, this bass has 22frets (mediums), mode active / passive, adjustable severe acute, a boomer (to boost the sound), b10 bridge, and micro PSNDP PSNDJ, agathis body. Aesthetics very nice especially low-pearl (pearl white)

UTILIZATION

Handle very enjoyable (compared to other bass) round end, no problem for access to acute, a beautiful form, it can be really very lightweight jou very long time without being tired standing there fast access gets sound enjoyable.

SOUNDS

For me it is perfect like the sounds that groove and also acute slamming funk style. I play a Peavey TKO 115 amp that very well and a chorus pedal ceb-3. j'obtient a well rounded warm and also good acute not aggressive.
I hate serious drool or too agrssif

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1year now, I am very happy. what I love about this bass is it's the boomer, over time I think I would change the pickups for more jazz pickups.
I tried other ibanez least intressantee more typical metal
report quality great price (after its dependence on budget)

with the little experience I have (1year is not huge) I reffer this choice without exit

This is a Japanese made bass by Ibanez. This bass is interesting because it is made cheaply, and is a beginner bass, and it has pickups that replicate both a J-bass and a P-Bass style of pickup. It has controls for volume on both pickups as well as a tone knob. It has an agathis body, a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium frets and a cutaway. It has a standard Ibanez bridge which is honestly nothing special.

UTILIZATION

This bass plays better than I would have expected it to. It isn't the most amazing playing bass in the world, but it gets the job done. It is difficult to get lots of complicated parts down on it, because it is slightly awkward and the fretboard isn't the smoothest-playing fretboard I've ever come across. But I do have to consider the price when thinking about this, so I will say that for the price, it does well. Other than playing, it's not too heavy, and it isn't too hard to get a decent sound, so it gets points for that.

SOUNDS

The pickups in this bass are not my favorite. However, you'd be surprised how well they do. They'll allow you to sort of replicate the tones you are hearing on record, allowing you to practice along nicely. Even with a small ensemble, you can maybe be heard with a decent amp. However, with a rock band, they aren't going to give you a great sound for gigs. Even with a nice amp, this bass sounds muddy and doesn't really cut through a live mix. I wouldn't want to record with this bass at all if I had other options. I firmly believe that if you were to switch the pickups out, you could dramatically improve the sound of this bass.

OVERALL OPINION

The price of this bass cannot be beaten. For what you pay for it even new, it's totally awesome. However, most professionals nowadays are willing to shell out more money for stuff, so I would say that they should look farther up on the price range for a newer, better bass, or perhaps a good old vintage bass. There's really not much here that should interest anybody except beginners, or perhaps people willing to try out new pickups on beginner gear.

- In what country does she makes? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Asia (if I remember correctly Ibanez has no fixed plant, once it is in a factory Core, another in another country ect ...).

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets mdiums type (not a Jumbo so good trs). 2 pickups, the neck pickup is a PSNDP (Micro Precision Bass type) and the bridge pickup is a PSNDJ (micro Jazz Bass type) for the config is pretty unusual as I know (well I'm not normally bass guitarist so it can be trs frquent for low) there is no micro slecteurs position, everything is done by the volume knobs for each pickup (for example, if you want just stick the mic position, you put the volume of the zero-bridge pickup).

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
The fixed bridge is an Accu-Cast B10.

- What are the rglages (Volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?
It possde 2 volumes, 1 tone, 1 Phat II eq which is a knob that adds power to her. No micro slecteur as mentioned above.

- What type of race?
Channel GSR4 Saddle with rosewood fingerboard. The handle length is 34 ". The handle is screwed to the body. The varnish is trs end (I'm not talking about the quality but the quantity of varnish).

- Your score on this?
Not impressive but nothing dcevant on paper, for 230 new I believe in you can not have more. APRS is of tastes and colors and how well. In the era when I bought it from did not matter and I thought the Ibanez made instruments of good quality so I bought your eyes closed.
230 10/10 because there are surely worth the money.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it enjoyable?
The varnish is an excellent quality has not slide well. Spcial blame if anything.

- Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
On the high strings so, not on strings. The beginning of the horn starts from the top a little too tt, impossible to play on the strings from the cargo 17me thumb for me.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
It does not possde is growing so quickly the pickups are a new manner the concerns is that I doubt that a microphone is good for the long run. APRS to reach the knobs is pretty simple, everything is in a group party does not impede when playing and is quite close to the strings so easy to achieve. The weight is good, not too heavy because I do not recall having hurt the shoulder by playing, not too lightweight because I do not remember it flying in all directions for nothing. It is stable or is not looking forward or toward the rear, both sitting and standing.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
The very first time that I branch, it was a worry of freight and silent unplayable then return the sender o I was made Manir not possible to resume it sr rev it common for people to change them even their cargo (the era I went to a store that looked more like a shop o is trying to pass you anything for Lille index, name starts with and ends Royez Music ...). APRS back I was finally able to play with, it bordered on too much, not too hard to get it right, no dphasage when the strings rang empty.

- Your score on this?
Relatively easy to use, it's more than enough to make its mark, learn some techniques for low and especially him endure the worst thing he's better not to endure a low premium (some violent slapping, tapping totally crappy ect ...). I do not put a black mark for the sake of stick because I have returned, if not a tai have a nice 0 / 10, so I note 9 / 10 because I do not think of things hanging as a price (like body shape that is not the best). That said again to 230 ...

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?
It is a versatile low enough, we're going around without forcment be excellent. I would say a range from pop / rock to mtal but without much conviction. However, I do not remember once having to abandon a piece because the sound of the bass did not fit at all with what I should do.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I played with little amp 20w Drive, just enough to train with me, and a Bulldog Distortion at the end.

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
A good clean sound in gnral still unconvincing but far better than the sounds I heard on the low end of the same CHRE see a little more. It prcis round but I can not find a warm, runny or even fat, so a good place for me. The treble is well and ptillants Submitted to the same way as many low fleshy and well rounded. For distortion with my Bulldog c'tait trs vintage enough "purring" prcis always, good treble can be heard when solo. The bass kept their characters as well rounded, well prcises.

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
The clean and distortion silent good enough for the low price of this was enough to have fun but I think that miracles are not logically, lack of lack of quality DEFINITIONS.

- Your score on this?
We make a low-end bass that keeps its promises, it can be fun to go around without too much trouble. Far better than some competitors of the same price o lgrement suprieur price, so I note 10/10, not too too much blame do not see clearly on this point.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I used a good year.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
What I most c'tait AIM to be able to really test what c'tait low, to see what could be done with the exploitable DIFFERENT styles ect ...
What is the least I AIM APRS prt have a "friend" when I made it, the handle began to rot (probably because of the sweat ) somewhere. A little heart I had left the cot at the time and want to resume the handle twisted and silent compltement become unplayable ... This cumulation problem that I had to handle the purchase, Ibanez has really not in quality but really not at all ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I tried Squiers, and this Ibanez. The Ibanez Me with ornament at his best and feeling is what made me choose it plutt another. In the long run I do not know if c'tait the best choice ...

- How do you report qualitprix?
I had bought 280, now I'm going o the store, it is 230. Should be re varnish directly to avoid such worries. APRS with any costs above I do not know if it would not take a direct prfrable LTD / ESP directly. The price is low but the quality trs in the end is even more ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
No, not really. J'achterais a LTD / ESP but much more CHRE INTERESTED report o the quality worth the price. I do not even advice for beginners as far as it may cost much more to maintain a low CHRE lgrement more CHRE that it will be better quality.

- Your score on this?
A Premire for quite promising, this bass is a horror rvle the hard way: the lack of quality big push again a lot of things, ranging from coating of the handle to the change of microphones, then in change mcaniques are REALLY bad. I would put all of the same 5 / 10 because it has held almost 2 years and if I had not I would play lends itself can be still with today.

See below.

UTILIZATION

I bought Premire as low as Completely beginner. The neck is very pleasant, fine and fast.
The weight is all done correctly, you can play without a long standing problem.
The highs are very accessible.
Is obtained relatively easily sounds DIFFERENT, for a little amp that follow. I used it with a Hartke A70. We quickly found the sound you want (or from which you want to get closer ...)

SOUNDS

I play rock (a style in place between Placebo and Nivana, let's say ...), and she was offering for beginners very well. Dsormais I play with a Fender Jazz Bass Aerodyne, and I use the Ibanez deuxime as low, but there is no concern, she fits right road in her role of low relief!
I play mostly to the fingers, and we obtain easily a round and punchy time. In mdiator it sounds really good.
I think we mean on the other hand quite the sound of strings on the mics, I find that noise "mtallique" fairly Dranga buggers when a little more, notament for the studio.
I use a pedal "Big Muff" and say nothing, sustain, saturation, sends a sec!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and a half is the first model I tried and I loved it immediately. The report qualitprix is ​​standard in this price range, difficult to find as well.
I used as Premire low for a year, BPS, and even live in the studio, and frankly, I think for the price it is great.
I really advise all beginners, great for playing his bass notes pemires!
Without hesitating I would do this choice, and I really board.

-Made in Indonesia
Flip-Ibanez Accu-Cast B10
GSR4 maple Channel end
-Agathis body
-Rosewood

UTILIZATION

It fits perfectly to the handle at first use.
The weight is well proportioned to the body.
The 4 knobs are out their trvail except at the bridge pickup where the notes tend to go into a mild distortion.
The mic is exellent for the treble notes are all in good slap dissect all that finger.
The 4th microphone is infact a bass boost to give a louder sound but for me it does not serve to give a big hand to light its more crystalline.
A small problem when one approaches the last box: the grade is too disgusting because it taps against the hoop.
They must pay attention to the potentiometer which may leave and to mess it up the bass (it happened to me and very bad experience).

SOUNDS

Low covient perfect for all styles of rock and derivatives (metal, blues, pop) as for jazz and funk that is do not go have fun doing with Kesha
. We just spend his lens to his grave and melodious bass in no time.
For my part I play a Peavey Max 158 bass amplifier with a DS-1 Distortion.
I like the sounds in crystalline and brittle slap on all the strings, and are serious on all the strings aussi.Bien heard the closer you get to the last fret and sound bad. This

OVERALL OPINION

used for about a year since I fell amoureux.Ce was my first bass and I urge the novice and the research of approfondissement.J really like the handle of this guitar. The quality / price is exellent I think I would do without this choice exeptions. To begin and deepen
