The Ibanez GVB1006 Gerald Veasley Signature is a professional six string bass designed in collaboration with the smooth jazz virtuoso himself. With its tight 14mm string spacing, premium Bartolini electronics and powerful Aguilar OBP 3 preamp, this instrument is purpose built for fluid chord work, lightning fast runs and articulate low end that sits perfectly in any modern mix. A figured Maple top over an Alder body delivers a clear, balanced voice with plenty of punch, while the 3 piece Maple and Wenge neck and Rosewood fretboard provide rock solid stability and a smooth, refined playing feel. From the studio to the stage, the GVB1006 is a serious tool for players who demand extended range, tonal flexibility and effortless playability in a sleek, contemporary package. Signature Performance for Modern Bassists Created with Gerald Veasley, the GVB1006 takes the demands of a world class session and touring bassist and distils them into a single, highly capable instrument. The six string layout with close 14mm spacing makes complex chord voicings, double stops and melodic soloing feel natural, while still offering a commanding low B for modern grooves. Whether you are covering multiple roles in a small ensemble or exploring solo bass, this signature model gives you the range and control to do it all. Premium Tonewoods and Construction The combination of a figured Maple top and Alder body provides a bright, articulate attack with a warm, full midrange and excellent sustain. Alder keeps the overall response balanced and musical, while the Maple adds definition and visual flair. The 3 piece Maple and Wenge neck is built for long term stability and tuning reliability, ideal for players who tour or record regularly and need an instrument that simply performs night after night. Bartolini Pickups and Aguilar OBP 3 Preamp A pair of Bartolini P45 soapbar pickups deliver a rich, deep tone with impressive clarity across all six strings. Paired with the Aguilar OBP 3 active preamp, you get a powerful, studio grade 3 band EQ with generous cut and boost, plus a push pull mid frequency switch to target either 400 Hz or 800 Hz. From tight, focused fingerstyle to fat, scooped slap and singing lead tones, the GVB1006 offers a huge palette of usable sounds at your fingertips. Refined Feel and Rock Solid Hardware Medium frets with Ibanez Custom Shop fret edge treatment give the neck an exceptionally smooth, even feel, making fast passages and position shifts effortless. Gotoh machine heads provide precise, reliable tuning, while the Mono Rail IV bridge isolates each string for maximum vibration transfer and clear note definition. Finished in a high gloss Amber with cosmo black hardware and abalone oval inlays, the GVB1006 looks every bit as sophisticated as it sounds. Key Features Bartolini P45 Pickups The Bartolini P45C B neck and P45C T bridge pickups provide a deep, full low end with exceptional clarity and note separation, ensuring every line and chord speaks clearly in the mix.
