The GVB36 is a six string solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in mid 2012. It is a signature model for American jazz bassist Gerald Veasley. It is made in Indonesia.

The GVB36 features an SR series double-cutaway alder body with a flamed maple top bolted to a maple neck with a 24 fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone oval position markers.
