Instruments with the GIO label follow Ibanez's clear philosophy - you don't have to pay a fortune for a guitar that plays perfectly. Thanks to the materials used and the high-quality electronics, this is absolutely true in the case of these guitars.
The body of this bass is made of nyatoh wood. It is bolted to a maple neck fitted with a fingerboard made of jatoba, a Brazilian cherry, and twenty-two frets. The gauge of the instrument is 864 mm and the width of the zero fret is 45 mm.
The sound of the strings is captured through two passive Dynamix humbucker pickups and can be further controlled by volume potentiometers for each pickup separately and a tone shutter. To expand the instrument's sonic register, you can take advantage of the active circuit's PHAT II equalizer connection, which adds body to your playing by accentuating the low-end and treble.
The strings are mounted in a 16.5mm pitched neck, with large mechanics used for precise tuning, and the hardware is finished in black.
If you're looking for a reliable instrument for everyday and occasional use, we recommend the basses in this series for you to try. Their time-tested construction and quality craftsmanship are sure to please you, whether you're a beginner or an advanced player.
