Sound & Tone
The pair of Bartolini passive soapbars running into the EQB-IIISP 3-band active preamp gives this six-string a clear, even voice, with the flamed maple top over alder adding articulate highs and firm mids over a solid low end. The 34" scale, 24 medium frets and 14mm string spacing at the Mono Rail IV bridge keep individual notes defined whether you're walking fingerstyle lines, popping and slapping, or voicing extended chords up the neck. It's a natural fit for jazz, fusion, gospel and contemporary playing where the low B and high C need to speak as cleanly as the middle strings.
Ibanez GVB36 AM Gerald Veasley Signature 6-String Bass – Amber B-Stock with Hard Case
The GVB36 AM delivers articulate, controlled response across all six strings with its ergonomic 3-piece maple neck and refined body contours, translating player technique into clear recorded definition. This signature model balances extended 6-string range with note separation and sustain, capturing everything from fingerstyle passages and slap techniques to expressive solo work with minimal fingerboard noise and maximum tonal capture. 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.
Recording & Playability
A bolted 3-piece maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard and 24 medium frets ensures stable intonation and consistent tracking during recording sessions. The 34" scale length (864mm), 54mm nut width, and 14mm string spacing on the Mono Rail IV bridge provide clean string separation ideal for both fingerstyle definition and slap articulation, while neck thickness measures 19.5mm at the 1st fret and 21.5mm at the 12th fret for precise hand positioning and reduced unwanted muting during takes.
Tone Shaping for the Mix
A pair of Bartolini passive soapbar pickups feeds into an EQB-IIISP 3-band EQ preamp that provides surgical control over harmonic content—ideal for crafting bass tones that sit cleanly in dense arrangements. The flamed maple top over alder body delivers articulate highs for pick definition, focused mids for presence and cut, and solid low-end presence for foundation, while the active electronics offer powerful shaping across the frequency spectrum to dial in everything from modern synth-like tones to traditional organic warmth.
