Ibanez GSR205B-WNF

This bass plays beautifully and has a lovely full sound, even with the supplied strings.

Some reviews mention fret buzz, but I have found none. Intonation was good on arrival, but I will spend a little while setting up and adjusting.

The bass looks fantastic, the oiled walnut is very attractive.

The only downside is some faint indentations around the neck/head joint, probably from clamping.

Overall, fantastic value for a lovely instrument

For the price it is a really good bass!

Perfect for anyone wanting to have a bass to jam on or record with, whose main instrument is not the bass and is not ready to invest a lot of money.
Besides some string buzz, which is fixable I'm sure, I have no cons to give this bass.

More than what you can ask for for this price!

That's my 1st ever bass and I'm happy with it. I was afraid of getting a 5-strings bass as a starting point, but looking at the big picture here I don't feel like having another instrument for a while. As a beginner perspective, the 5th string won't disturb your practice and get you aware while applying technique whenever playing notes and jumping from one string to another. It's a very solid instrument. Components are well-designed and materials end-up being high-quality.

This bass is beautiful! very modern and amazing for the price! the sound is little difficult to find it..the pickups ok but the preamp is very limited in regulation.no EQ only tone and "bass boost"...need external preamp and eq to get my sound to hi level.. it is light but not weighted, the neck is heavier than body!🤔 nice pickups.
