GSR205B-WNF : Great value

10 years ago

I bought this for recording some bass tracks. I was not expecting anything too great considering the price of this instrument but I was okay with it as I didn't have too much extra money (I am primarily a guitarist so my money goes there) and needed to record some bass tracks.

As soon as I received the bass and gave it a try, it blew my mind. It's very light. The neck is fairly flat, straight and feels great. I would not probably go gigging with this though, I'm not sure if this would survive rough handling. But for studio use this is great.

But when I got to try this with an amp I noticed the pickups are not that impressive. This has a knob that adds some boost to bass/treble but this also distorts the sound so I prefer changing EQ in the amp.

Considering the price though this was still a great purchase and I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable studio bass maybe for a spare. Or for someone interested in starting to play bass.
