Ibanez GVB36 AM Gerald Veasley Bass Amber B-Stock with case
Description
Ibanez GVB36 AM Gerald Veasley Signature 6-String Bass – Amber B-Stock with Hard Case
The GVB36 AM sits comfortably in the hands with its ergonomic 3-piece maple neck and refined body contours, delivering smooth playability across all registers. This signature model balances extended 6-string range with articulate response, making it equally suited to fingerstyle passages, slap techniques, and expressive solo work. The B-Stock condition reflects minor cosmetic wear on the back of the body, but the instrument is fully functional and professionally inspected for top performance.
Playability & Build Quality
A bolted 3-piece maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard and 24 medium frets provides stability and comfortable access throughout the range. The 34" scale length (864mm), 54mm nut width, and 14mm string spacing on the Mono Rail IV bridge accommodate both fingerstyle and slap techniques without compromise, while neck thickness measures 19.5mm at the 1st fret and 21.5mm at the 12th fret for balanced grip and control on stage night after night.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of Bartolini passive soapbar pickups feeds into an EQB-IIISP 3-band EQ preamp customized for extended chord playing and tonal flexibility. The flamed maple top over alder body delivers articulate highs, focused mids, and solid low-end presence that cuts through live ensemble settings, while the active electronics provide powerful shaping across the frequency spectrum for modern and traditional styles alike.
