The five string version (GSR205) is also a good value. The string spacing is tight, really tight. It's not good for slap, if you don't wanna be hitting all the other strings, and it's hard to fit your finger between the D and G. The tone is as expected with a passive bass. The low B is sloppy as hell. Even with a .135 B, it was bad, but what can you do? The finish is almsot too easy to scratch, it looks like mine was attacked by a horde of Brillo pads and steel wool. I'm going to repaint it with some graphics and add a large inlay to the neck (I defretted mine). The frets are not glued in, only pressed. My neck PU is broken, so I need replacement PUs. I'd say, good for starters, not tonally versatile, and not something I'd even buy as a transitional 5 string (going form 4 to 5). I started on mine, so I can't complain.
3.5 / 5
