    My first decent bass was an GSR205SM, and still one of my favorites.
    100% worth the price tag, this thing will last you a long while, whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, its a great choice.

      I have one and it is truly extraordinary for a low price bass with a great tonal range. Beats the cr*p out of my '65 Bison Bass for versatility, if not savagery!

      I modded mine with a EMG csx pickup in the neck and a dsx in the bridge and that x series active tone knob
      Turned it into pro bass

    I never would have thought they were passive pickups with a battery. I learned something new. Although I am a guitar player, that rule about the battery doesn't apply to us haha

    If it's anything like the SRs, taking the volume down will let you have the phat on full without overdriving it.

    Greetings Gregory, I recently bought a second-hand one, I don't know if it is the same model as yours, since it has Jazz-type pickups, and its sound is very good. I compared it in a video I made with a Yamaha rbx 374 and despite not to put new strings on them, it performed very well.

    At 7:41 I wish I could figure out what the word is you said about the battery “So I went and “triffed” it with the battery” I’m guessing your not saying the word “triffed” but that’s what it sounds like ?.
    My reason for asking is I have one of these bass’s and I’m unclear weather you disconnected the battery but then you also said “replaced”
    I watched this video more than a few times and I’m still and unsure if if eliminated the battery completely and made the bass totally passive or not ?

    Are you sure they're single coil pickups? The information on their website as well as the shape suggests they're humbuckers.

      The difference between the sound of this instrument and a similar expensive style bass no one would be able to tell other than bass nerds. Even then, if you played it very well on a song those bass nerds might think it was an expensive instrument as well.

      Otherwise stock they sound crappy
