Ibanez GIO Basses Add Two New Models

GIO, the Ibanez value-line bass series, added two new models: The GSR200SDL, a Soda Blue 4-string, and the GSR205DVM Deep Violet Metallic 5-string.

Patterned on the company’s famous SR, the Ibanez GSR GIO offers the same alternative approach to electric bass that all SR basses do. Light in weight, heavy in tone, with a fast, thin neck that many players have found is capable of fulfilling needs even beyond the beginning stages.

Each features a solid Mahogany body, and a maple neck. A Rosewood fingerboard, accented with medium-size white dot inlays, round out the visuals.

Factor in Ibanez Dynamix P and J pickups for clarity and fullness well beyond their price point, and the Phat II eq for ultra wide tonal range. List Price: $357.13
