The GSR200 has been a go-to starter bass for years, and for good reason. The poplar body and maple neck produce a clear, defined tone that responds well to different playing styles, while the slim profile and 34" scale keep it comfortable for players of all sizes. At just under 9.5 pounds, it won't wear you out during long rehearsals.

The P/J pickup layout -- a split-coil in the neck and a single-coil at the bridge -- is one of the most versatile configurations in bass, covering everything from deep, thumpy grooves to bright, cutting lines. The Phat II EQ adds a useful bass boost for extra low-end punch when you need it. A reliable, well-built bass that punches above its weight class.
