The two volume controls allow the signals from both pickups to be blended, providing a wide range of different timbres. The spectrum of this electric bass ranges from the dry, assertive ‘wire’ sound of the bridge pickup to the abyssal yet transparent low-end punch of the middle pickup, with the passive treble control adding further versatility.

Last but not least, the Ibanez Gio GSR180-TUM Tungsten MatteBass impresses with its high-quality hardware, whose unrestricted functionality guarantees long-lasting playing pleasure. At the bridge, the strings are held in place by the Ibanez B10 bridge, which, thanks to four adjustable saddles, guarantees perfect intonation and string action. From there, the strings run with a 34-inch scale length (864 mm) towards the headstock, where they are secured by precise die-cast tuning machines that maintain tuning reliably and for a long time.
