    SOUNDS

    The rglages are easy:

    _micro handle alone: ​​the sound is very round and warm but not crystalline trs

    _micro only bridge: the sound is more Submitted (over medium and treble), a little fat (good for solos)

    _ Both microphone: sound is round and warm, but still powerful and prcis, however it is a little more distance. (This is the way I prfre)

    I almost always leave the knob of active substance, and gives me a volume control without changing the quality of sound ... ;)

    His only inconvniant my taste, is that it does not sound quite crystalline, and may be missing some prcsion.

    Overall it is quite versatile, but is more for rock type etc ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 3 years, and she did not default.
    It's really a super low to begin and progress.
    I particulirement palette of sounds that can be obtained with, especially the potato she (qualisation active).
    I was consulting all beginners or average level that does not want to ruin, and have a low active even when!

    The report qualitprix is ​​excellent, one of the first model the asset price.

    It's a bass with 22 frets, active and passive mode, plus a rglage acute / grave and a "boomer" to boost the sound. The bass itself is beautiful, and finally what I'm told, so it's not necessarily the advantage first, but it still has the time of selection.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is quite enjoyable compared to other bass in the same range that I tried it apprcie that it is somewhat large for beginners. Access in acute ISSA is not the most but it does not demand an extraordinary contortions of the wrist.

Once dtail rgl no problem!

    SOUNDS

    I play rock and funk on a home and studio amp Berhinger an ampeg. For positive I would say that j'apprcie broad palette of sound between two microphones assets / liabilities and the acute / grave. I play finger and slap for the latter mode I is more acute for more attack. For ngatif I would say that the highs are not trs own but not less than the other low so the price of nothing serious.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Bought new a year ago for 240euros, I do not regret my choice because it is a good versatile bass, which allowed me to try all kinds of game (finger, slap, mdiator). In my opinion it is a low IDAL way for beginners and bassist (me I'm beginners). Voil if I had the choice again I would do it again without hsiter because the report is good quality.

    Made in Asia, of course
    For the rest nothing very different from previous posts

    UTILIZATION

    Personal 12 years (yes) I move with a fender squier precision bass, so passive, active and wanting one I opted for the GSR200
    Ri-in to see;
    The handle is greatly facilitated access by the ergonomics of the beast
    The GSR200 is proving very comfortable working as low-repeat
    The sound for me, but hey, the fat of my fender is not perfectly, then the coup in the two ... I repeat, following the tracks!

    SOUNDS

    More than correct, the different settings can turn unhurriedly.

    My group is a bunch of old geezer who does that of the recovery (in bulk Shivaree, Red Hot, Wilson Pickett, police, De Palmas, Clapton ...)
    So eclecticism is so vast that to do well I would need 3 or 4 low ...
    With the GSR200, it does it all alone ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 months now
    I love the look of the top handle, this small fragile side but quickly absorbed to listen
    Value for money is the top
    Repeat this choice? oh yeah then, without hesitation!

    This low possde of active pickups (a P-Bass type to the handle, a type Jazz at the bridge), but not an active legalization.

    UTILIZATION

    This is my first bass, and I have virtually no touch before, but let's say:

    - The neck seems great, it seemed to me that the imitations of Fender bass, the biggest round silent ... Finally it seems that it is for the world of bass that the sleeves are Ibanez guitars for the world ^ _ ^

    - Ditto for Access in acute, they did not lsin the depth of cuts

    - It is super lgre ... I get up without playing with strap, it is to say (not sr good I can do a time not more eh ...)

    - It is super lgre ... I get up without playing with strap, it is to say (not sr good I can do a time not more eh ...)

    - For rglages: volume of each micro + tone + "boost", the change in feeling especially adjusting the volume balance between the two microphones

    SOUNDS

    Although this is the "funk" that I really did not jump on, I like to play a little bit of everything with this low kind of Motorhead, Maiden or the Police that IOTC in what I ' trying to play the Chic, Indeep's or Luther Vandross.

    Well this bass seems to me a versatile all adequate, the kind that requires a first deuxime see an instrument, the time to really know what you want.

    I thought that some techniques li apprhender difficult instrument, I found myself out and even slaps agreements fawn pretty clean considering it's the very first time that I have the opportunity to REALLY play the bass.

    The micro-type P-bass is serious trs, trs trs fat, while the micro type Jazz is more crystalline. It's the balance by increasing volume and decreasing the one of the other.

    Gnral in the pure P-bass provides well for the metal and jazz to funk, but the best is to refine.

    As on my guitar, I always leave the tone on its value the most acute, otherwise the sound is too tuft my taste, and I do not feel much about rglages intermdiaires.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I understood that the active pickups can do gnrer virtually no noise, yet I perois with a micro type Jazz, while the P-Bass type is completely silent (I use a cable style "neutrik" o the surprise of hearing a noise at all).

    So the choice of an active low micro seems to me more sensible trs: the boost is not that useful but also if the battery falls in the harbor, I can not play ...

    That said, I tried two other basses before buying this one:
    - A SX P-Bass imitation: c'tait first prize in the store, I expected it to take the base

    - A Yamaha, which makes pens look it, but the sound ...

    The sound of these two was really cheap low cot of this Ibanez: prsence had no other, no dynamic, no power, its silent compltement neutral tasteless. The silent test while on the same amp with the same rglages course.

    However this low-l silent a little more expensive than the other two, in fact it Exceeds my budget of some Euros.
    J'tais came to me saying "any Manir I can not play, then you can take the cheaper", but by listening to this bass, and playing it, I thought I could do the effort to put a little extra for something right away to INTERESTED, a price that was frankly super-affordable.
    That said I do not have a bone test Squier Precision Bass, because the budget gap became too large and I did not add spices to the dilemma, but I do not think that would Squier t normment better nor as versatile, and I do not speak of something that is extra (forms and finishes).

    I did that for about one month and this is my Premire low, it said it confirms what I thought of Ibanez in the area of ​​the guitar: report qualitprix / Versatile / equipment without faults

    I know it does not o factory but considering the price I think it's in countries east ^ ^.
    It has 22 frets and two microphones: one PB and JB.
    Two volumes, one tone and a boost.
    The lctronique is active.
    The handle is comfortable, standard, fine enough.

    UTILIZATION

    As I said the handle is rather enjoyable, although lim on cots, thin and rather flat.
    The access to treble is good and is done without problem.
    Ergonomics are good, rounded and adapting the morphologie.Niveau weight is not heavy nor Legré, it is normal.
    To get a good sound is a little tinkering four knobs, but it's not complicated.

    I play metal instead. I manage to have a sound powerful enough.
    I play on a Hartke B300 me I sound good with trs.
    By repeating 'I play Peavey large and there is still a better sound, although powerful echoes in the guts.
    The boost is feeling well and is effective for TRS give a boost.
    I play gnral its clean, I can have a good sound for a bass in this range is satisfactory trs.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 10 months.
    I like its shape, comfort and sound.
    I hsiter with Cort, but I finally leaned over it.
    Despite all these good points even when I had some problems with microphones at the beginners JB walked a bit when he wanted so I enmener me to the store and resumed carrment low to give me another.
    The report qualitprix is ​​good for an active bass and more.

    I can remake that choice to be or will turn to Jackson can be as ^ ^ give me to play DJ on the scratch Jackson and I've always does extremely satisfied.

    Decent cheap bass!

    Ibanez GSR200Published on 08/23/11 at 15:10
    This is a Japanese made bass by Ibanez. This bass is interesting because it is made cheaply, and is a beginner bass, and it has pickups that replicate both a J-bass and a P-Bass style of pickup. It has controls for volume on both pickups as well as a tone knob. It has an agathis body, a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium frets and a cutaway. It has a standard Ibanez bridge which is honestly nothing special.

    UTILIZATION

    This bass plays better than I would have expected it to. It isn't the most amazing playing bass in the world, but it gets the job done. It is difficult to get lots of complicated parts down on it, because it is slightly awkward and the fretboard i…

    UTILIZATION

    This bass plays better than I would have expected it to. It isn't the most amazing playing bass in the world, but it gets the job done. It is difficult to get lots of complicated parts down on it, because it is slightly awkward and the fretboard isn't the smoothest-playing fretboard I've ever come across. But I do have to consider the price when thinking about this, so I will say that for the price, it does well. Other than playing, it's not too heavy, and it isn't too hard to get a decent sound, so it gets points for that.

    SOUNDS

    The pickups in this bass are not my favorite. However, you'd be surprised how well they do. They'll allow you to sort of replicate the tones you are hearing on record, allowing you to practice along nicely. Even with a small ensemble, you can maybe be heard with a decent amp. However, with a rock band, they aren't going to give you a great sound for gigs. Even with a nice amp, this bass sounds muddy and doesn't really cut through a live mix. I wouldn't want to record with this bass at all if I had other options. I firmly believe that if you were to switch the pickups out, you could dramatically improve the sound of this bass.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The price of this bass cannot be beaten. For what you pay for it even new, it's totally awesome. However, most professionals nowadays are willing to shell out more money for stuff, so I would say that they should look farther up on the price range for a newer, better bass, or perhaps a good old vintage bass. There's really not much here that should interest anybody except beginners, or perhaps people willing to try out new pickups on beginner gear.

    It fits perfectly to the handle at first use.

    The 4th microphone is infact a bass boost to give a louder sound but for me it does not serve to give a big hand to light its more crystalline.

    They must pay attention to the potentiometer which may leave and to mess it up the bass (it happened to me and very bad experience).

    Low covient perfect for all styles of rock and derivatives (metal, blues, pop) as for jazz and funk that is do not go have fun doing with Kesha
    . We just spend his lens to his grave and melodious bass in no time.
    For my part I play a Peavey Max 158 bass amplifier with a DS-1 Distortion.
    I like the sounds in crystalline and brittle slap on all the strings, and are serious on all the strings aussi.Bien heard the closer you get to the last fret and sound bad. This
