Ibanez GSR bass guitars boast the PHAT II active bass boost Where this bass guitar makes a move is with it's ability to handle and clearly reproduce low-end power. The bridge has a more forgiving nature to it as well to accommodate newer players. The GSR's body is cut more aggressively to allow easier access to the higher frets. The rosewood neck sports medium jumbo frets for player friendliness.
Between the two there's a nice "standard" tone with some flexibility. Both are designated as "high output" and the bass does have sufficient but not excellent versatility. The Ibanez GSR features two standard coil pickups and a P-bass split style neck pickup. More importantly, it'll accompany you nicely on your way to becoming an intermediate player. If your cut-my-teeth 4-string has become beneath you, the Ibanez GSR is one you can afford.
Every burgeoning player outgrows their first instrument. They're also subject to the same rigorous engineering standards and inspection as more expensive Ibanez basses. They bring all the sauciness of a standard Soundgear Bass but with a less-demanding price tag. An Ibanez GSR bass guitar is going to scratch that itch and then some. Add budget concerns, however, and finding a bass that's going to cut it becomes more challenging.
His or her sound eats up so much space in the music that there grows a real need for a quality instrument. The itch for a big, rich bass sound that can be replicated through a quality amp. Even the most formative bass player is going to develop the itch.
