Looking for a top notch, fretless 5-string bass that's fit for a working professional? Then the new Gary Willis signature Ibanez GWB205-TQF would well be for you!
Gary Willis Signature Weapon Of Choice
Bass virtuoso Gary Willis is revered by legions of fans worldwide. In addition to having a distinguished career as a solo artist and co-founding the legendary fusion band Tribal Tech, Willis has played and recorded with the biggest names in the business. As an artist who holds strong opinions about gear, he found deep kinship with the bass builders of Ibanez.
Through the years, the release of each of his signature basses is a notable event among the bass gear press. Now, the GWB205E 5-string is introduced with similar fanfare.

- GWB 3pc Maple neck w/KTS TITANIUM rods
- Ash body
- Fretless Ebony fingerboard w/Off-set white dot inlay and fret-line markers
- Bartolini GWB bridge pickup
- Bartolini NTBT 2-band EQ
- EQ bypass switch (push/pull)
- Std. bridge (16.5mm string spacing)
- Black hardware
- Gig bag included
The Willis Ramp
This signature model features Willis's secret weapon - the Willis ramp.
The ramp prevents the right hand from digging in too hard, resulting in a lighter touch for lightning fast playing and better tone.
Top Notch Construction
The GWB205E features an Ash body, GWB 3-piece Maple neck with ebony Fingerboard. Three strap buttons—one on the front horn and two located in different positions behind the bridge—allow the player to ergonomically fine tune the bass according to hand positioning.
Bartolini Pickups
An endless array of tones can be accomplished via a pair of Bartolini GWB pickups along with onboard Bartolini NTBT 2-band equalization with an EQ bypass switch.
Beyond its obvious playability, the Tequila Sunrise finish contrasted with black hardware makes for a visual impression of mystery and power.
