Ibanez GSR180-BS

Wrong model

I ordered this red model, but that wasn't what came in the mail.

just OK

I purchased this bass for a small project in an alternative tuning.

The finish looks good, and the most important, the sound is fine. If you want a workhorse bass to experiment with or just to practice this is just fine.

If you want to record with it (which I also did) you'll have to process it quite a bit to have a nice fat and round sound, but that's understandable for the price tag...

It can't compete in sound quality and features with my main bass (Ibanez SRFF800-BKS Multiscale) but again, in pricing there's no competitions either :)

The controls aren't of great quality. They make a bit of noise, but it's not too bad.

In general I think it's OK, but I probably would go for another one if I was to buy a new one in this price range.

Bass beginner

I find the Ibanez GSR180-BS to be exceptional value for money, and a delight to play. I really don't know how they do it at this price! Set up was great straight out of the box. It gives me pleasure every time I pick it up to play!
