Ibanez GSR200B-WK — Sleek, Stealthy, and Surprisingly Feisty

So you’re eyeballing the GSR200B-WK? This one’s part of Ibanez’s Gio line, which means it’s meant to be affordable — but not cheap in spirit. Think of it like that friend who rolls up to rehearsal in a hoodie and beat-up sneakers but shreds harder than the guy with the custom boutique bass. Understated. Underrated. Unexpectedly capable.

The Aesthetic

Weathered Black? More like “Darth Vader matte.” This bass is all about stealth vibes — matte black finish, black hardware, no shine, no gloss, no drama. It doesn’t scream, it smirks.

Slick and stripped-back, the GSR200B looks like it minds its business… until you plug it in.

Specs (a.k.a. What This Thing Is Packing)

Part Details

Body Okoume — lightweight, resonant, and not something you'll cry over if it gets a ding

Neck Maple, bolt-on, slim and fast — it’s that classic “Ibanez neck” feel

Fretboard Jatoba with white dot inlays — dark and smooth

Frets 22 medium

Scale Length 34" — standard, no funny business

Pickups P/J combo — split single-coil at the neck, single-coil at the bridge

Electronics Passive pickups, plus an active bass boost (Phat II EQ) for extra thump

Controls Volume, tone, pickup balance, and the bass boost knob (your “oomph” dial)

Bridge Standard B10 bridge — gets the job done without asking for attention

Hardware Blacked out, of course — it’s the ninja of beginner basses

What It Nails

Slim neck: If you like fast, easy-playing necks — or if your hands are on the smaller side — this thing flies. No chunky baseball bat vibes here.
Lightweight: The okoume body keeps it comfy for long sessions. Shoulders and backs will thank you.
Punchy tone: That PJ pickup combo gives decent tonal variety — fat mids from the P, bite from the J — and then you hit the Phat II EQ, and boom: instant low-end boom without needing a pedal.
Stage-ready looks: It might be an entry-level bass, but it looks like something that belongs under stage lights in a metal set or a moody indie gig.
Price-to-performance: For what this bass costs, it's doing a lot. Like, suspiciously a lot. Like, “how are you this decent and this cheap?” kind of vibes.
