Ibanez GSR180 Bass Guitar Brown Sunburst
At the entry level end of the market is where you’ll find the Ibanez GSR 180TR bass guitar and the guys at Ibanez have crafted this instrument so that it’s easy to play for beginners and novices. The body is neatly contoured for comfort with a double cut-away whilst the neck is slim and thinner than a lot of other instruments positioned at the entry level market point.
The neck is medium scale with 22 frets and constructed from Mahogany with a Rosewood finger board and medium frets, orientation is done using pearloid dot inlays as fret markers. The pick-ups are of the Ibanez J-type single coil models and are positioned by the neck and bridge with a volume control each and a single tone control.
The GSR 180TR headstock is in natural wood finish with wing-nut key machine heads die-cast in chrome. At the opposite end of the instrument the bridge is a 4 saddle Ibanez B10 model which is also chrome plated as are the volume and tone knobs.

The CCB90 is our contemporary electric bass and benefits from a compact, contoured alder body with a bolted deep cut joint to its maple neck. The rosewood fingerboard holds 24 frets and the ultra-compact headstock is home to 4 closed geared tuners. A single coil and split humbucking pickups are controlled by 2 volumes and a single tone rotary. This is an extremely comfortable bass and is as much at home with slap styles as finger or pick playing.

Ibanez SR300M Bass Candy Apple Red
The Ibanez SR300M bass guitar has versatility and affordability as two of its main features. The Ibanez core Soundgear philosophy has not changed since its debut in 1987 : a modern bass for players who want a thin, fast neck, and the ability to dial in any tone for any genre-from complex electric jazz to raging metal.
The 2009 Soundgear has continued this tradition while adding a modern flavour and contemorary styling. The SR300M-CA has an Agathis wood body, a slim and fast SR Maple neck and fingerboard and 24 medium frets. The B100 adjustable bridge keeps the tuning stable whilst the SR 300M also features Ibanez EXF pickups and onboard 3-band active EQ with a useful Style Sweeper control.
The Style Sweeper not only provides a variety in tone, but also practically controls the mid range for finger or slap, according to your playing style. The SR300M delivers all the quality you expect from Ibanez at a very affordable price.
