6-string Signature Bass

Gerald Veasley, bass player extraordinaire, and Ibanez have teamed up to bring you the Ibanez GVB36 Gerald Veasley signature 6-string bass. Gerald is a well-known session bassist, jazz fusion player, and educator. The GVB36 rolls all of his experience and expertise into a 6-string bass that will amaze you. Start with an alder body, flame maple top, and a 3-piece maple neck, and you have the foundation for big bass tone. Add Bartolini pickups, and active EQ, and a Mono-rail bridge to complete this tone machine. Check out the Ibanez GVB36 Gerald Veasley 6-string bass and see what you have been missing.

Big tone from choice tonewoods

The deep tone of alder mixed with the high-end snap of a maple top give the Ibanez GVB36 Gerald Veasley signature bass the response and range 6-string bass players want. Couple that with a solid and stable 3-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and you have an amazing playing and sounding bass. You'll instantly notice the shorter string spacing on the GVB36, 14mm instead of the normal 16.5mm, and how much easier it is to play chords on. Grab an Ibanez GVB36 Gerald Veasley bass and see how great a 6-string bass can be.

Dial in a great low end with humbucking pickups

While the Ibanez GVB36 Gerald Veasley bass is unquestionably a great looking bass guitar that plays like a dream, but you also want your bass to deliver earth shaking lows and crystal clear highs. That's no problem thanks to the specially-designed Bartolini MK1-6 neck and bridge pickups which are matched to the Bartolini EQB-IIIS 3-band EQ circuitry. This combination allows you to quickly dial in your perfect bass sound regardless of your individual style and preference. From roadhouse blues to jazz fusion, the GVB36 delivers the perfect sound every time!

Mono-rail IV bridge enhances definition

The Ibanez GVB36 6-string bass packs the ultra-innovative Mono-rail IV bridge with locking saddles, which allows each string to fully vibrate without any interference with the other strings. That means that no matter how fast you play across the strings, each note will ring clear and true.

Ibanez GVB36 Gerald Veasley Signature Series 6-string Electric Bass Features:

  • Gerald Veasley signature model 6-string electric bass
  • Tonally versatile bass guitar, with premium tonewoods and pickups
  • Shorter string spacing at bridge
  • Onboard EQ-IIISC gives you exceptional tone-shaping capabilities
  • Mono-Rail IV bridge allows each string to vibrate independently, enhancing definition and clarity

Greatest 6 string I have play

If you want one you will have to be patient. It is
Taken awhile to get.
Music background: Pro
Rated 5/5

No Regrets

What an excellent bass. My background is guitar, so six strings appeals to me, except some six string basses have string spacing that is too wide. Not this bass. Out of the box it had excellent action, intonation and playability. It's at least as playable as my Jazz bass. It has a great shallow U neck that feels comfortable and ergonomic across the range of the instrument. It has a great tone. The bridge keeps the sound articulate as advertised.
I like this bass so much that, if Ibby made a 30-inch scale GVB36 model, I would buy it instantly.
Excellent value for the money, and it looks better in person.
Rated 3.5/5

Good bass with minor issues

Most importantly, the bass is very well made and plays wonderfully. The narrower string spacing takes some getting used to, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. The physical construction is very high quality and the finish looks amazing.

The only issues I have are largely electronic. The finish inside the jack recess is a bit rushed and not up to the standards of the rest of the bass. The output jack itself was a little scratchy and needed a little cleaning. The largest "quality" issue is the preamp seems to have been installed or wired backwards, at least from what the documentation says. The bass eq pot is in the front next to the volume knob, and the treble is in the back. Now, this isn't necessarily bad since the treble eq doesn't really do a whole lot, but it does show a potential rush job in assembly.

All in all, I love the bass. I wanted a six string to expand my playing after sticking with four strings for 20 years and this one works out great. It sounds good and plays really well.

Sounds descent,but too heavy

This is a great sounding bass but I had to get rid of it because it was hurting my back whenever I had it strapped on.I was so excited about having it after having the pleasure of actually meeting Mr.Gerald Veasley,but I couldn't endure the pain.!
Music background: Bass Player,songwriter and producer.
