Ibanez - GWB205-TQF Gary Willis
With its GWB 3-ply maple neck, fretless ebony fingerboard and solid, warm ash body, the GWB205-TQF bass, designed in collaboration with Gary Willis and Ibanez, offers a tactile response and fluid playability that will allow you to express all the finesse of your playing. The exclusive 'Willis ramp' setting, a removable finger rest designed by this talented artist, allows for a more precise attack and ultra-fast playability without over-driving the string. The combination of a passive Bartolini GWB humbucker pickup and an active NTBT 2-band EQ provides a rich, balanced and modulated tone, ideal for sculpting your sound to suit your needs.
Presentation
The famous removable Willis ramp has been designed to refine your attack, allowing you to play with fluidity, finesse and speed, without ever tiring. The onboard electronics are as intuitive as they are powerful: a Bartolini GWB pickup, renowned for its clarity and impact, combined with an NTBT 2-band active EQ, lets you sculpt your tone without compromise.
Whether you opt for deep bass or chiselled highs, you have total control to assert your sound. The light, responsive Tequila Sunrise ash body and precise Gotoh action make every note perfectly tuned and vibrant. This bass is not just an instrument, it's an extension of your technique, tailor-made to accompany you in your rhythmic and harmonic explorations, with elegance and sensitivity.
