Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (19 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "My Upgrade Bass..."
Sound: Crazy punch to this baby, phat 2 eq is apparently active as there is a battery compartment on the back (though unfortunatly the screw kind). It's very effective too, all the way down sounds like you're run of the mill low end bass, but boosted up about half way and as the name indicates, PHATT!! My only beef soundwise is that the low b is a bit muddy, but not too bad. Feature: For the price, it's all you could expect and more. Standard volume for each pickup, regular type tone knob, and the mac daddy phat 2 boost knob. Did I mention it's six strings and sounds great? Ease of Use: For a six string, pretty easy. Yes it's a pretty wide neck and a bit neck heavy, but again, it's a six string so that's expected. Quality: My only gripe quality wise is that the bridge piece holding my g string for some reason rattles (slight buzzing) the string when plucked from underneath (I do alot of slap & snap), but only when it's plucked open. I've isolated the cause, if I push up on the piece toward the headstock it doesn't do it anymore. I'm not a tech so I'm getting my dad to fix it. Might replace the tuners with sperzels, but overall this baby is excellent. Value: It's a 6 string that plays well with active electronics built in, the gsr206 is a steal!! Manufacturer Support: Haven't used it. The Wow Factor: I play it constantly Overall: Bought mine from a local music shop, I love shopping with zzounds but I prefer to try out my axes before I buy them. Anyway, this was my upgrade from a squier mb5 5 string bass. I was expecting it to be about the same with an extra string but from the first time I played it I knew it was something special, alot more chord possibilities too. 6 string basses aren't so good for people with smaller hands, but luckily mine can palm a regulation size basketball. I love Ibanez axes, you always get more than your moneys worth and this is no exception. If you've got the fingers for it I highly recommend the gsr206!!

"My Favorite Bass - by far!"
Overall: This is the 5th electric bass guitar I've owned and it is by far my favorite. It's powerful, punchy and a real pleasure to play! Another reviewer said, "It's like it plays itself", and I agree! I don't know why, but put any other bass in my hands and I won't sound as good! This bass makes me sound better than I really am! My only complaint was that within a couple weeks from when I purchased it new (at Guitar Center, (Sorry zZounds!)), some of the solder joints came loose inside where the 1/4" cord plugs in, and I had to tear it apart and re-solder it myself. That was the one and only problem I've ever had with it before or since that incident. It's been a great guitar and although I am not a professional, I have friends that are, and they were impressed with my choice. Out of all the other basses I've owned, (Drive, Squier, Hohner), this has been the best of them all!
