Ibanez GSR205FM 5-String Bass Guitar

Whether you're a guitarist who wants to add bass to your repertoire, or completely new to stringed instruments and like the low end sound of a bass guitar, this 5-string bass from Ibanez is a great place to start. Its mahogany body has the professional comfort and playability of their more expensive and popular Soundgear series at a much more affordable price. The flamed maple top with its darkened outer edges combined with the chrome hardware give it a stylish look, while the DXS-1 neck and DXS-2 bridge pickups give it the high output levels you'll be wanting. Round out your sound with the onboard Phat II EQ controls. All around, this is a great introductory electric bass, at a great introductory price.
