GSRM20B-WNF : Superb bass!

4 years ago

This is not just a great bass guitar for the money, this is a nice playing and sounding instrument full stop! I've had some hit and miss experiences with ibanez instruments over the years, but this bass was really a home run. The short scale and light weight is perfect for guitar players or persons with smaller hands/arms. After some truss rod, string height and intonation adjustment, the bass plays great and sounds really good. Tools are included, along with a user guide to set up the instrument.

PROs:

- Superb fretwork and smooth neck. Easy to adjust trussrod and saddles.

- Good sound by blending the volume of both pickups

- Nice walnut finish, no blemishes on body

- Very lightweight and easy to play after adjusting the string height and truss rod, with no fret buzz

- Good tuning pegs

- Looks and feels more expensive than it is

- Fits in a guitar gig bag

CONs:

- Tone pot a little scratchy at lower end

- Not the best looking maple neck, but very well finished

- A little neck divey (but comfortable on lap)
