Ibanez GIO SR GSR205-BMT Blue Moon Burst Starter Set

Ibanez GIO SR GSR205 Electric Bass For Modern Low-End Power!

The Ibanez GIO SR GSR205 is a modern 5-string electric bass with a slim maple neck, lightweight Okoume body, two Dynamix H pickups and Phat II EQ. It gives you a versatile instrument for punchy bass lines, extended low-end parts and comfortable playability in the classic SR design.

Extended Range With Comfortable SR Ergonomics

As a 5-string bass the GSR205 provides the extra low range you need for modern rock, metal, pop, worship, funk and recording applications. The 34" scale delivers a familiar long-scale feel while the extra low string adds reach for riffs, grooves and more complex arrangements. The lightweight Okoume body supports comfortable handling whether sitting or standing. Combined with the ergonomic contours of the SR design, you get a bass that plays immediately, stays balanced and is built for long sessions.

Fast Neck For Precise Lines

The maple neck with a GSR5 profile is designed for comfortable playability and supports clean position shifts, fast runs and controlled fretting. The purpleheart fretboard provides a stable playing surface with clear response and is marked with white dot inlays for quick orientation. With 22 medium frets you have plenty of positions for classic bass work, melodic fills and modern techniques. The 45 mm nut width gives enough space for five strings while staying compact enough for longer practice sessions.

Dynamix H Pickups With Phat II EQ

Two Dynamix H pickups deliver a powerful, wide bass sound with a solid foundation, clear mids and present articulation. Two volume controls let you blend neck and bridge precisely while the tone knob quickly shapes the highs. The Phat II EQ adds extra push in the low end and makes the GSR205 especially suited for punchy modern tones. You can switch between warm fundamentals, defined articulation and heavier low-end without complicating your setup.

Solid Hardware For Reliable Performance

The B15 bridge with 16.5 mm string spacing ensures stable seating, precise intonation and a comfortable attack feel across all five strings. Ibanez tuners, a plastic nut and factory strings .045/.065/.080/.100/.125 provide a practical starting point for rehearsal, stage, lessons and home recording. The tuning from G to B opens the full 5-string range without having to retune your instrument. This GIO SR works equally well as a first 5-string, a reliable working bass or a flexible addition to an existing bass rig.

15 Watt Practice Combo

The Rocktile BA-15 Jaco is a compact bass amplifier that takes up hardly any space at home and is easy to carry. With 15 watts it’s perfect for practicing and jamming, and can also work for small acoustic gigs. The 1/4" input accepts both active and passive basses.

Bass Method

If you worry that electric bass is too hard to learn, this method is a must. It introduces the instrument to beginners in a playful, relaxed way and explains it clearly. Starting with basic instrument knowledge, it covers playing techniques and navigation of the fretboard through to performing complete songs, while also teaching relevant theory. Reading notation, rhythm, tablature and many other topics are covered alongside the exercises. The simple exercises ensure quick learning progress.

Guitar Stand With Neck Support

The Rocktile GSN-01 guitar stand gives your instrument a proper place on stage, in the rehearsal room or at home. To protect your guitar the GSN-01 is heavily padded and secured with a rubber strap. Height is adjustable and the nylon clamp protects the main tube from scratches. The stand folds down quickly for space-saving storage when not in use.

Tuner

The Rocktile CL-118 is a compact clip tuner suitable for tuning many instrument groups. Besides chromatic mode, the CL-118 can be set to guitar, bass, violin and ukulele. Two different tuning modes are available for ukuleles.

Extra-Long Guitar Strap

The Rocktile nylon strap stretches very far, which will especially please fans of heavier styles. The neutral design suits any genre.

Instrument Cable

Pronomic instrument cables are ideal for guitarists, bassists and keyboard players. The flexible cables feature screw-on metal plugs that allow access to the solder joints or replacement of individual plugs if needed. The high-quality shielding protects against interference over long runs, and the impulse noises common on cheap cables from foot tapping are absent in Pronomic cables.
