Thank you! It took a long time to find this detailed tutorial/review of this model. You even take time to explain about the instrument needing to adjust. This is perfect.
Eu sou do Brasil. E assisti o seu e, gostei muito muito do sei vídeo. Gostei bastante do som do instrumento. Coloquei para a legenda ficar em português.
I've seen a redditor saying that since it is a one piece neck, the neck needs to be adjusted every now and then. Is that true? Otherwise, I don't see any problems with it and I'm about to buy it.
@@kaanrobertt Hey! I can say that over all these years I had to adjust necks on new instruments more often. As they got older by a few months the neck seems to settle. As with the Ibanez gear, I would say that it’s among the best quality for the price you pay. I think I did two major adjustments on this bass and now - as I play it more often than the first year - it’s only slight adjustments here and there.
@@Metalpazallteway it’s fine now. The cheaper the instrument the more often I adjust. Have been on tour last week for 9 shows in 10 days with my main Lakland and it didn’t move at all.
So ya Timo. I just about bought a GSR206B. I didn't like the feel of the neck or the fret width and heights. It's a dual truss rod design. I think the neck needs something, can't say what but I didnt like it. I didn't buy it. At $100.00 for a set up and new strings thats almost the value of one of these used. I thought Hmmm.... and didn't buy. Good video
why my same bass sound so dark...and yours is so good? my interface is Focusrite Saffire liquid 56 and Scarlett 1820 3rth gen... in both get a disappoint sound 😔 i don't understand why...i connect my other Harley Benton Mb-5 (stingray style) and is amazing...this ibanez get me crazy 😢
even with new strings (the bass is brand new but i change the strings after that video) is very very dark..i install preamp 3 band eq and no way to take this sound, i hearing amazing sound unplugged with bright string sound...but on amplifier or in any of my professional sound inteface the sound is dark..the pickups don't take the trebles of strings right.im disappointed 😢
Thanks for posting. Are the neck and bridge pickup volume knobs reversed? Looks like turning down bridge is clockwise while turning up neck is also clockwise. (or reverse for mirror image?)
@@timoschmidgall Thanks so much for the quick response. I had ordered one after watching this vid, and when it arrived, the wiring of it seems to be off, so wanted to make sure it was a specific instrument issue, not a model issue.
This looks and sounds like the best kept secret for a reliable, well crafted, musically above average, affordable 6 string bass. Thanks a lot, Bruder!
Very well made video. The most comprehensive approach to an instrument without wasting anybody's time. Congratulations and Big Thanks!
Finally! I searched everywhere for a demo of this bass without any effects on it, and now I found it! Thank you!
That is exactly what I am aiming for. You wanna hear the equipment as pure as possible and not through tons of EQs and preamps and what not, right? 💪
@@timoschmidgall Absolutely!
Very good bass! I have this one. I like, how it sounds!
Tolles Review. Sehr informativ und auf den Punkt. Und klasse gespielt. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the no-nonsense review!
I just bought this precise bass two weeks ago. Good review!

I'm pretty sure you can adjust the action no?
@@Metalpazallteway sure! Did it a few times ever since!
@@timoschmidgall Did it alleviate the issue or was it a make issue?

Maybe your strings are dead?
even with new strings (the bass is brand new but i change the strings after that video) is very very dark..i install preamp 3 band eq and no way to take this sound, i hearing amazing sound unplugged with bright string sound...but on amplifier or in any of my professional sound inteface the sound is dark..the pickups don't take the trebles of strings right.im disappointed 😢
@@nikoszisidisgrmstudio just got that bass
Maybe the pots are bad?
Thanks for posting. Are the neck and bridge pickup volume knobs reversed? Looks like turning down bridge is clockwise while turning up neck is also clockwise. (or reverse for mirror image?)
It is not reversed. Turning up is clockwise and turning down is counter clockwise.
@@timoschmidgall Thanks so much for the quick response. I had ordered one after watching this vid, and when it arrived, the wiring of it seems to be off, so wanted to make sure it was a specific instrument issue, not a model issue.
I always thought these were 32” scale?

The SR Mezzo are the short ones.
