Ibanez GSR280QA-TMS

The Ibanez GSR280QA-TMS is a 4-string electric bass from the GIO series, combining the comfortable GSR body and neck profile with a striking Quilted Maple Art Grain top. Its Okoume body provides a balanced foundation, while the GSR4 Maple neck and Purpleheart fretboard offer a smooth, comfortable playing feel. The 34-inch scale and 22 medium frets make it suitable for beginners, students and developing bassists across rock, pop, funk and contemporary styles.

The bass is equipped with a pair of Dynamix J passive pickups, with separate volume controls allowing the neck and bridge pickups to be blended for different tonal combinations. A master tone control provides further shaping, while the Phat II active bass boost EQ adds extra low-end power when a deeper and fuller sound is desired. The 305 mm fingerboard radius, 41 mm nut width and 19 mm string spacing contribute to a comfortable and familiar playing experience.

A B10 bridge provides adjustable intonation and stable string positioning, while black hardware complements the Transparent Marine Sunburst (TMS) finish and figured top. The bass uses standard G-D-A-E tuning and is fitted with .045/.065/.080/.100 strings. Four controls are provided: separate neck and bridge pickup volume controls, master tone and the Phat II bass boost.
