I have a GSR206 and an SR506. The higher numbers are definitely better if you can afford it. However, let me say that as soon as I played the GSR206 (used) in the store I HAD to own it! Tone is just killer. Playability is superb. Neck is fast and comfy. My ONLY complaint is that the pickups do not cover the strings evenly which means you need to bump EQ a bit to get C and B even with rest. But since mine is a 6er the GSR200 probably has much less of a problem and further mine is older and they changed the pickups since then. So I"m 100% for a GSR200 series and I haven't sold mine in spite of also owning a SR500 series. But I'll say that if you have the cash, going to as high a number as you can afford is generally worth it.

I know Sweetwater has them listed as one of the lightest & Dr. Cheese has posted a video of him playing one at least once.
The bummer about P/J is the noise from the bridge pickup, which the TMB300 & TMB310 solve.

If you want really lightweight get a Mikro, or even lighter a Hofner violin bass, or a Danelectro...

A Mikro sound is much different?I'm a beginner and a gsr200 mikro fits in my budget.What do you think?It's too small or it sound weird something like that?
