Full Description
View Full DescriptionDecimating pickup duo
A duo of Standard P/J configured pickups are equipped on the GSRM20. This tried-and-tested combo allows the instrument to achieve everything from warm jazz sounds to thunderous rock tones. Both produce incredible tonalities. The P, which is located at the neck delivers a full and punchy tone, whilst the bridge's J ensures each and every note is clean. This Ibanez's electronics offer tonnes of versatility to experiment with.
But if you're wanting more, this bass also comes equipped with a tone control that allows you to shape your sound to suit your unique performance style. And with the two volume controls, you can edit the output of each pickup for the ultimate voicing. Test, try, experiment, and create music that is uniquely yours.
Magic miKro materials
There's nothing better than a maple neck. This material has smooth and robust qualities, ensuring you will be soaring up and down the fingerboard for years to come. What's more, it offers a bright and expressive tone to the overall sound of your instrument. This has been topped with jatoba for high levels of projection that is packed with crisp, clean, and sustained tonalities. When combined, these materials will have your beats sinking into the hearts of any crowd.
Then there's the body. Crafted from poplar, this material balances out the snappy twang of the maple and provides you with full tones that sound great at the low-end. Not only that, but this bass guitar features a cutaway profile so you can fret fearlessly at the high-end of your fingerboard with ease. It's everything you need for your sound.
Small design, big sound
Do you want to be the best but feel at a disadvantage with a standard bass because you're smaller? Ibanez understands this. So, they came up with the miKro series of bass guitars - the compact counterpart of the GIO. As a part of this series, the GSRM20 has a petite design that is aimed towards players with smaller hands. A short scale neck, medium frets, and a GSRM neck profile all lend themselves to your physique, giving you more comfort. But it still holds its own. Keeping the same looks and tone, you have all the quality of a standard-sized bass so there's no excuse. Become the bassist you were born to be.
