Ibanez Gio 5 string Bass - A bass Guitar On a Budget //4K

Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan; however, the company didn't get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the "Ibanez Salvador" name, which was later shortened to "Ibanez." Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs. By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative guitars and had begun manufacturing the original designs that the company is now known for. Ibanez is also famous for their effect pedals (most notably the Tube Screamer) and guitar amplifiers.
Ibanez developed the GIO series for players who demand Ibanez quality in a budget-conscious package. Featuring excellent tonewoods, first-rate electronics, and exceptional playability, GIO series electric guitars and basses provide beginners and value-minded musicians with an authentic, Ibanez-branded instrument. The GIO series proves that a guitar doesn't have to cost a bundle to sound good!

I just picked one of these up and it does not have a rosewood fingerboard. It is Jatoba. Also just like yours, it is not a 1 piece neck, you can see even on yours a splice near the nut. It is not solid. There are clearly 2 pieces to get the neck so long. Not a 1 piece.

Is it a humbuckers pickup??

[@PaulKingMetal]

They look like hambuckers, but Ibanez doesn't specify it.

Looks awesome 👍

Thanks

[@ezjames9416]

I have one just like this. It buzzes like crazy, all 4 strings.

[@PaulKingMetal]

I don't know man. This one didn't have any problem. I was pleasantly surprised with this instrumental for the money.

[@coreygraves1228]

Nice bass.

Who’s song is that in the background?

[@PaulKingMetal]

No idea. I just searched for Royalty free metal music.

[@luiscatube17]

Does this bass works without the 9v battery?

[@PaulKingMetal]

I don't remember man. I assume not.

[@jadensimmons6646]

Probably not. I tried a used RG8 without the battery and there was no sound.

[@trevormcdaniel8994]

I think it's a great bass for the money.

[@PaulKingMetal]

I agree.
