    Couldn’t play it properly but sounded so good that I purchased an acoustic guitar and started taking lessons inspired by the bass. Fantastic build, easier than electric guitar.

    Esteticamente non niente male e anche come fattura dei materiali.
    Non posso ancora giudicare il suono perch non ho avuto il tempo di usarla.
    L’unico punto negativo anche se il rapporto qualit prezzo buono, che in dotazione non c’ nulla, n corde di ricambio, n tracolla, n custodia.

    Es muy guapo,ligero,manejable y me encanta.
    Para mi es un pelin pequeo y se nota un poco de holgura (minimo) en las perillas de tono y volumen.

    Guapisimo y ligero

    It looks good. Stays in tune. Excellent value for someone after their first bass.

    So for my 55th birthday (January 2021) I decided to fulfill a life long dream of buying a bass. After much time on YouTube seeing what was available sub 200 I opted for this lovely black ibanez GSR180.

    Out the packaging (no gig bag) it was quite rattley in a way anyone who has bought a poorly set up Bass will understand all to well but don’t let that put you off.

    A new set of strings and a tweak on the truss bar by a friend of mine created a whole new, eminently playable instrument which I grew to love. And when it came time for me to buy a 5 string I opted again for ibanez. But that’s a whole other review.

    In a nutshell if you are looking for a bass guitar to start building up your bass muscles this is a great place to start.

    Ibanez GSR180? Recommended.

    Bass guitar? It's never too late.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe whole family play various instruments (averagely) and have all been interested in bass to add a little gravitas to the jams. Where do you start? There are so many to choose from. I didnt want to break the bank and yet know from experience that if an instrument looks and sounds dodgy, you just don’t want to pick it up. I’ve played Ibanez guitars before and respect the brand so thanks to favourable reviews that this was a good first bass, went for it.
    I know it shouldn’t be about the look but as soon as my daughter opened the box, there was a proper, heart felt wow!! Beautiful clean lines, classic shape and it does NOT look or feel cheap.
    I’ve borrowed a 40amp bass amp from a mate and we can’t imagine what more we’d be getting if we’d spent another 500. There’s now a queue as to who gets to use it next!

    Excellent bass for beginners. Needed a bit of a set up. Also I’ll probably change the strings soon. Good variety of tones.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersA good bass for the price. Plays well and the intonation is perfect. I have had many bass guitars over the years. This is unlikely to be my choice on a gigging circuit but could make the practice room and indeed capable of being a back up when gigging. Electrics seems to be working fine with no noise as you adjust the tones and volume knobs. Purchased this with a 15w Laney Amp for home use. Both will do the job well.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersOttimo per un primo approccio alla pratica dello strumento, preso per mio figlio che ne entusiasta e acquisto pienamente approvato dal suo istruttore.
    Spesa contenuta in attesa di capire se si tratta di una passione duratura o di un fuoco di paglia.
    Ha necessitato soltanto dell’intervento di un liutaio sul manico per metterlo in condizioni ottimali, ma con una decina di euro me la sono cavata.
    Comprato tramite Amazon prime, come sempre impeccabile e puntuale

    Ibanez GIO are fantastic starter instruments. It can always be scary placing hundreds to thousands on a guitar but these guys make a good quality and nice sounding axe! Ibanez are a reputable brand that make gorgeous guitars, I would definitely recommend.

    Por el precio es muy bueno, no estara mal chequear la calibracion, ya que no venia a punto. pero si quieres algo mas profesional debe dispones de mas dinero para un bajo activo

    Lo recibi antes de lo esperado.
    Cuando lo use con mis compaeros de la banda quedaron impresionados de la presencia sonora que tiene. Lo recibi ya calibrado y tiene un sonido estupendo.

    Been playing mine for more than a year now and she’s a beauty! Without any competition in her price range, perfect contours and great audio quality. Wish Ibanez would work on those knobs though. If you want to get serious about your bass, this is the first step.

    Basso che fa il suo lavoro per la sua fascia di prezzo. Ottime finiture e verniciatura, cos come le meccaniche.

    Good sounding bass and packaged well. However, one quite noticeable scratch by the pick ups was a shame. Besides that it would be perfect.

    Sehr, sehr geiles Teil. Liegt super in der Hand, und der Klang ist ( auch wenn der nicht am Verstrker angeschlossen ist) sehr schn.
    Er wirkt sehr sauber verarbeitet und der Lack ist der Wahnsinn.

    Die Lieferung erfolgte sehr sehr schnell, hatte erst Montag damit gerechnet, na dann musste der Lieferant halt den Anblick einer nicht geschminkten, im Schlafanzug rumlaufende und Haare wie die der Medusa ertragen, zum Glck ist er nicht in Stein Erstarrt.

    Der Bass war super verpackt. Der Auen Karton war sehr gro und mit ca 100000000000 Metern Luftpolsterfolie ausgestattet ( mein Mann darf mich also wieder stressen, hab ja was zur Stressbewltigung da:-)).
    Der Haupt Karton lag also schn sicher.

    Doch bei all den Positiven Aspekten muss ich auch einen dicken minus Punkt erwhnen… Der Bass soll ein Geburtstagsgeschenk fr meinen Mann sein, er hat ende des Monats Geburtstag. .. und nun mag ich nicht mehr darauf warten u d ihm das Teil jetzt schon schenken… schlimm diese Qulerei

    I only wanted a cheap bass to play around with in the house or jam with the mates and this fits the bill perfectly. It feels nice to pay and is put together well, but they obviously brought the coats down with cheaper wood and pickups, so don’t expect it to sound like a premium bass. I’d certainly recommended it over the 70 bargain basement basses out there.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersJust had the bass for a few days, for the money it is unbeatable value, the finish which is really classy and construction quality belies the low price. Straight out of the box the setup was not perfect although the instruction manual gives precise instructions how to set up the instrument properly, initial fret buzz was easily cured by slackening the truss rod slightly, the playing action was just about ok as with the pickup height. The bass is a very manageable weight, much more so than a Squier Jazz bass I tried which was downright heavy. The only slight downsides I’ve found is the tone control seems to make very little difference to the sound of the instrument, also the E string supplied had some light corrosion for about 2″ of its length at about the 3rd fret which felt rough to the touch, I have informed the supplier (Andertons Music) of this and they are posting me out a replacement string. I had also considered the Yamaha RBX170 which is an almost identical design but is 40 more expensive, the only difference being the Yam has a split pickup at the neck position the Ibanez a standard single coil, the Ibanez also has a control plate on the back of the body which is nicely sunk into the body, the Yams plate stands proud which makes it look a little cheap. I bought from Andertons as the price (130) included a very nice quality gig bag worth 30 so as a package it was unbeatable value, certainly for someone starting to play bass who does not want to spend too much on their first bass this is ideal.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersIf you were thinking of taking up the bass guitar and did not want to spend out an absolute fortune to find out whether or not it was your cup of tea, then you could do a lot worse than this gem.

    Ibanez seem to come up trumps consistently when offering instruments with a more-than-passable tone without charging a hefty price tag for the privilege, and the Ibanez GSR180 is no exception. The sound on this bass is great, especially for rock and metal. The gauges of the strings are 45, 65, 85 and 105 according to the instruction manual that came with the instrument, and it comes with a lead and some Allen keys.

    Another big plus is that it holds its tune well and the tuning pegs barely needed adjusting from one day to the next.

    The three knobs on the instrument consist of one tone knob and two volume knobs (one for each of the two pickups).

    If I had a couple of minor gripes, they would be that (a) the supplied lead is a bit on the short side, so you would probably want to invest in a longer one; and (b) the fourth string had a bit of buzz on it (which may simply be a case of using the aforementioned Allen keys to adjust the action slightly to eliminate this). However, in the grander scheme of things, these are indeed minor gripes, and I would still highly recommend this model even for a person just starting to learn bass.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersFor 150 what this bass delivers is nothing short of amazing. Very good action, lovely narrow neck, with a light comfortable body. I have owned a far more expensive Fender Jazz in the past and this is as good, possibly better! It keeps in tune and has very little fret buzz. What more can one say? If you’re looking for a cheap but well made bass, you need look no further!
