Ive had this bass about two weeks and i love it. I also own an ibanez sr505 and have to admit i like the gsr206 better, even though it was half the price. The phat boost helps alot with getting a nice tone or changing tone halfway through a song to emphasize a measure. It was not set up very well when i got it in the mail but i fixed that myself. It was mainly the intonation. I love the tone of this bass. Its very versatile and the eq is great. The other members in my prog. rock band agreed it sounded really good. -derek of vail's Gate/As within

AFter browsing for a variety of basses around the $300 range, I stumbled across this bass at a local music store. I was really skeptical at the time, and I was about to buy a 5 string ESP (which is also on this site). After playing around with this bass and several others, I could immediately tell that this was a STEAL. I don't get how anybody could pass this thing down for the price. The action is just right, and it sounds amazing, I don't know what more you would need, and espcially at this price range you're looking for the bare minimum. This bass goes way past my expectations, and I'm glad I bought it. If you're looking for a bass with a nice range of accessibility, but you're pocket is a little empty, you really need to look into this bass.

One of the finest basses I've ever played and I've been at it for 30 years plus. Yeah, I'm a geezer, but hey... I ain't too old to rock & roll. And the truth is, I know quality from junk. This axe AIN'T junk. Far from it. And I can't believe the price. I have no idea how this company is making any money on this item. If you're looking for me to criticize it in any way... the ONLY thing I can come up with is that the shape, cool as it is, does not fit perfectly into a standard (P-bass) case, although it DOES fit pretty well. There is just some very slight movement back and forth... nothing to worry about. I'll probably end up spending as much on a new case for it as I did for the bass itself. It's WORTH it, believe me. Best buy I've EVER seen, seriously. Plays and sounds like a dream.

This bass is awesome! I'm an Ibanez collector (I've owned the GSR190, GSR205, and now this), and I can say that it is the best bass I have ever played, in multiple respects. I also occasionally play basses from other companies, and this is still the top. It is an amazing 6-string with great durability and lots of range. Great for playing any style of music. The only complaint I can remotely think of is that the A and D strings had a slight fret buzz, but that was fixed easily.

I had been playing bass for a solid two years, and I needed an extended range bass for some of the covers my band was doing that called for the High C and the Low B. I found this with no clue about Ibanez. I opened it up and I was amazed. This bass has held up very well. It can handle all types of music. The only complaint I had was the action (Adjustable) and the low B is a little muddy at times. Just mess with the EQ and you will get it.
