The Ibanez GSR200 is an accessible bass that delivers comfort, playability, and versatility that have made the SR series a favourite with bassists for decades. Built as part of the GIO range, it brings genuine Ibanez quality to players taking their first steps into bass or looking for a dependable instrument for rehearsals, lessons, and live performance. Its lightweight okoume body and slim GSR neck profile make it comfortable to play for extended sessions, while the balanced design encourages confident technique development.
 
The versatile Dynamix PJ pickup configuration combines the punch of a split-coil pickup with the clarity and definition of a single-coil bridge pickup, giving you a broad range of usable bass tones. The active Phat II EQ adds extra low-end weight when needed, making it easy to dial in powerful bass sounds for rock, pop, funk, and beyond. Combined with dependable hardware and straightforward controls, the GSR200 delivers impressive performance and flexibility at an affordable price.
Classic SR comfort
The GSR200 carries forward the design philosophy that has made the Ibanez SR series a favourite among bass players for more than three decades. Its lightweight okoume body sits comfortably whether you're standing on stage or practising at home, while the slim maple neck offers a fast, approachable playing feel that helps reduce fatigue during longer sessions. The ergonomic body contours make it easy to settle into, giving new players confidence and allowing experienced bassists to move freely across the instrument.
Versatile PJ pickup configuration
The combination of Dynamix P and Dynamix J pickups provides a wide range of tones suited to almost any musical style. The split-coil neck pickup delivers the punch, warmth, and authority associated with classic bass sounds, while the bridge single-coil adds clarity, articulation, and definition. Blend the two pickups together and you'll discover everything from thick rock tones to focused funk grooves and balanced all-round sounds for modern pop and indie music. This versatile pickup arrangement makes the GSR200 an excellent choice for players who need one bass capable of covering multiple genres.
Active bass enhancement
In addition to its versatile pickup system, the GSR200 features Ibanez's active Phat II EQ circuit. This simple but highly effective control adds extra low-end power and fullness whenever you need it, helping basslines stand out. If you need to reinforce a fill or create a bigger stage sound, the Phat II system provides additional tonal flexibility without overwhelming you with complex controls. The straightforward layout keeps operation intuitive while expanding the bass's sonic capabilities well beyond what many instruments at this level can offer.
Built for developing musicians
As part of the GIO series, the GSR200 is designed to deliver genuine Ibanez quality at an accessible price point. Every detail is focused on providing reliable performance and long-term value, from the stable B10 bridge and dependable hardware to the comfortable neck profile and robust construction. The Purpleheart fingerboard adds durability and tonal character, while the active electronics give players room to explore and develop their sound as their skills grow. Equally suited to lessons, rehearsals, recording, and live performance, the GSR200 is a bass that supports players throughout every stage of their musical journey.
