Ibanez built the GSR205ROM as part of the GSR sub-line within the broader SR Series, positioning it as an entry-level five-string electric bass. The GSR line carried the SR family's emphasis on a slim, fast neck profile scaled down to an accessible price point.
The bass was constructed with a poplar body and a maple neck bearing the GSR5 profile — a slender contour reflected in the 45mm nut width and 21mm first-fret thickness. The jatoba fretboard, dressed with white dot inlays and medium frets, runs a 305mm radius over a 34-inch scale. Pickups consist of a passive Dynamix H at the neck and a passive Dynamix H at the bridge, with the onboard Phat II EQ providing tonal shaping. The B15 bridge operates at 16.5mm string spacing, and all hardware is finished in chrome.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the B15 bridge and Dynamix H pickup dimensions will govern compatibility for direct-fit substitutions. A qualified guitar technician or luthier can advise on nut replacements suited to the 45mm width and on setup adjustments appropriate to the 305mm fretboard radius.
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.
