I drank a few beers for courage and ordered the Ibanez 😁😁

You're right. It was the first of the 2 I tried (using a strap), and something about staring down that sleek neck, those sharp-looking black tuning knobs spread along both sides of the head just made me feel cool yknow :)).

Hi there, I'm an aspiring beginner bass player who's hesitant between picking a Squier Affinity PJ bass or an Ibanez Gio GSR200B. I have tried both at a local store, and I was surprised by just how big and heavy the Squier was (I'm on the skinny side). THe Ibanez felt way better in hand bc of its lower weight and thinner neck, and tbh, I enjoy the look with 2 knobs on each side of the head. I didn't really hear a difference in sound quality, but that's just me. What's holding me back is the fact that people say the Ibanez is "only for rock and metal" and that the Ibanez Gio's often have quality issues like fret buzz and warped necks. Can anyone testify whether or not these complaints are bs in the current year, and help me ove rmy decision fright? Thank you! P.S. The free 3 month subscription to Fender PLay also seems reaaaaaaally nice :))
