Ibanez GSR200SM-NGT Natural Gray Burst Gio

The Essentials to Know About the Ibanez GSR4 Bass

• Immediate Comfort: GSR4 maple neck designed for easy and quick handling.


• Premium Look: spalted maple top on a poplar body, with a very modern "natural gray burst" finish.


• Sound Versatility: passive pickup configuration (neck pickup + J-style bridge pickup) to switch from a round tone to a more punchy sound.


• Enhanced Bass on Demand: Phat II EQ circuit to thicken the low end when the song calls for it.

A Bass in the "Soundgear" Spirit: Efficient, Lightweight, and Player-Oriented

With its focus on ergonomics and versatility, this GSR4 fits within the philosophy of modern basses: an accessible instrument with refined design, capable of covering a wide musical range. The combination of a poplar body and a spalted maple top provides a distinctive style while maintaining a construction geared towards comfort and practicality for stage, rehearsal, and home studio.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This bass is especially aimed at beginners who want a motivating and easy-to-play instrument, as well as intermediate players looking for a versatile 4-string to rehearse, record, and perform live. The two passive pickups and Phat II EQ allow navigation between rock, pop, funk, metal, and modern grooves: from deep pick-driven tones to more slapping finger attacks.

The Sound

The neck pickup and J-style bridge pickup (passive) duo offers a classic and effective palette: on the neck side, you get a rounder and fuller foundation to lay down a stable low-end; on the bridge side, the tone becomes more defined, with more attack and presence in the mix. The Phat II EQ allows boosting the lows to thicken a line, support a chorus, or add more fullness to fingerstyle playing. The B10 bridge with its string spacing of 0.75" / 19 mm promotes clean and comfortable playing, especially for techniques requiring space between the strings.
