The GSR205M is a five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2012. It was produced Indonesia as part of the entry level GIO line. It was sold only in the USA market.
The GSR205M features a double-cutaway agathis body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret maple fingerboard with black dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez DXH-5 passive soapbar humbucking pickups feeding a Phat II preamp, a B15 bridge, a plastic nut and Ibanez tuning machines. Controls consist of individual volumes for each pickup, a shared tone, and a shared Phat EQ control.
For 2014 the finish was changed from Black to Pearl White.
The GSR200M is a five string version. The GSR205 is a similar model with a dark fretboard (rosewood, jatoba, treated New Zealand pine or purpleheart depending on the year and market).
