Ibanez produced the GSR205BWK as part of the GSR sub-line within its broader SR Series, positioning it as an entry-level five-string electric bass. The model carried the finish designation Weathered Black.
The bass was built around a Nyatoh body paired with a maple neck profiled to Ibanez's GSR5 specification. The fretboard is Jatoba with white dot inlays and medium frets, sitting at a 305 mm radius. Nut width measures 45 mm, widening to 67 mm at the 22nd fret; neck thickness runs 21 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the twelfth. Scale length is 864 mm (34 inches). String spacing at the B15 bridge is 16.5 mm. Pickup duties are handled by a passive Dynamix H humbucker at the neck and a matching passive Dynamix H at the bridge, fed through the Phat II EQ circuit. All hardware is finished in black.
Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance, or help sourcing compatible replacement components — such as a B15-compatible bridge saddle or a five-string nut cut to the 45 mm width — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with bass instrument specification.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
