Ibanez Gio GSR100EX Review

You'll never find a better bass for the

Wow!! Amazing sound and quality Run her thru a nice tube amp or direct into studio board, sustain for days I own ricks, fender jazz 62 reissue, danelectro,etc. This bass is certainly not on those levels,but she sounds, plays, and records beautiful! Can create many versatile sounds by adjusting volume & tone pots Fit finish And workmanship surprisingly excellent..just had to slightly… read more tweak bridge; that's all Great bass

Big sound, small spendings!

I would highly recommend getting this bass if you want an inexpensive, big sounding, and beefy toned beast! Possibly my favourite bass in my arsenal. I converted mine into a fretless and it still sounds amazing! I would recommend replacing the stock electronics, but it's honestly pretty good for what it is.

Ibanez Gio GSR100EX Bass Guitar - Mahogany Oil - Great Bass!

Make no mistake; this is a beginner's bass...BUT... I bought this bass with the intent of hot rodding it a little; new flat wound strings and a new EMG or Bart pick-up. But I wanted to play it a bit before doing anything to it. I did restria few days after I got it with Ernie Ball .105-.45 flat wound strings (I usually use LaBella strings, but they were out). After restringing… read more it, I had to raise the strings slightly, 1/2-half turn at a time until there was no string buzzing. Easy task. I have to say I really like this bass! It keeps company with two Gibson SG basses (my primary gigging basses) and a Gibson Thunderbird (sweet sounding bass, very heavy for a 3-hour gig). The one thing I noticed immediately was this bass has sustain for days! Better than my Gibsons! I've been playing this bass a lot lately, and since we have a gig next week, I plan on using it for at least our first set. We will see how it goes from there.For $ this is a great buy! I don't think you will regret your purchase!

At less than $ it doesn't get much better than this

My Ibanez GSR100ex arrived nearly ready to play. Just tuned her up and off I went to bass heaven. Hardly any setup needed to be done. The body gives me old barn wood vibes... which I really dig. It's absolutely beautiful. The neck is as smooth as butter. Has a soft satin feel that my thumb just effortlessly glides over. The single humbucker is warm, robust and can growl. A lot of… read more tone shaping can be had with that one pickup, one volume pot and one tone pot.Sure, the tuning pegs and whatnot are not top of the line, but they are more than functional and perform well.I love this bass!
