Revered by fans worldwide, Gary Willis is a renowned fusion bass virtuoso known for his brilliant solo career and co-founding the groundbreaking band Tribal Tech. His mastery of the 5-string fretless electric bass is unmatched, and his preference for Ibanez basses has been evident since the early days of his career. Collaborating closely with Ibanez, Gary has developed a series of signature instruments that cater to his unique playing technique. The Ibanez Gary Willis Signature GWB205 fretless 5-string bass, introduced in 1999, is the latest result of this fruitful partnership.
Loaded with Gary's signature specs, the GWB205 features a fretless ebony fingerboard with fret-line markers, a detachable finger ramp (the "Willis ramp"), and specially shaped tuning keys. Additionally, the ash body with three strategically placed strap buttons allows for ergonomic positioning according to hand placement. A single Bartolini GWB pickup and bypassable NTBT 2-band EQ deliver a fat, growling fusion bass tone.
The innovative Willis ramp serves as a versatile thumb rest and aids in lightning-fast note articulation by promoting a lighter touch with more consistent attack and quicker recovery time.
Equipped with a Bartolini GWB humbucking pickup and NTBT active 2-band EQ, the GWB205 offers a wide tonal range suitable for any musical style. The fretless design features white inlaid fret line markers and offset dot position markers for precise intonation.
Gary Willis's collaboration with Ibanez has resulted in the creation of a bass that not only reflects his playing style but also facilitates high-octane performance for bassists of all levels.
