FIVE STRING Ibanez GSR205SM - Natural Gray Burst - MIB

Built to hold its own against pro level competitors, the Ibanez GSR205SM five-string features a solid Mahogany body, and exotically Spalted Maple top for a beautiful look and clear, punchy tone. The GIO series was developed for players who want Ibanez quality and performance in a more affordable package.

A sleek, comfortable, GSR5 Maple neck—widely recognized as the industry standard for playability—and rock solid Ibanez B15 bridge, rev up the specs to accommodate whatever you’re setting out to play.

Factor in Ibanez DXH-5 pickups for clarity and fullness well beyond their price point, and the PHAT-II EQ for ultra wide tonal range and you’ll see why the GSR205 ranks as one of the most-played 5-string basses of all time.

Patterned on their famous SR 5-string, this Ibanez GSR205SM offers the same alternative approach to electric bass that all SR basses do. Light in weight, heavy in tone, with the fast, thin neck that’s noticeably easier to play—whether you're a veteran player, or just starting out.

For more than 25 years, the Ibanez Soundgear series, which includes this GSR20SSM 5-string electric bass guitar, has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same. SR continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body and perfectly matched electronics. Its Phat II active bass boost adds additional low-end power more than any other basses in this price range, and its beautiful flamed maple top will make the GSR205SM stand out on the stage, studio or anywhere.

SELLER NOTE: I bought this brand new, played it twice, and it has stayed in its original box since. I cant justify keeping it. It is as close to new as a used instrument gets.
