General

Ibanez GIO Series electric bass guitars offer any budding bassist a great and greatly affordable starting point. The GSR280QA is a lightweight, solid-bodied model that features a stunning quilted maple art grain top plus an SR-style okoume body that's been securely bolted to a stable maple neck. Add all of that to the purpleheart fretboard and you get a warm-and-woody foundation sound with a nice bit of bite.

The GSR280QA: Passive Pickups and an Active Preamp for Adaptable Sound

Teamed up with an active preamp, the Dynamix J pickups in the bridge and neck position provide you with a modern single-coil core tone that can be changed up at will by tweaking the individual volume pots and the single tone pot. Need a low-end boost and some more punch? Then simply turn up the Phat II EQ.
