Ibanez Gio SR250, gloss mahogany stain, made in China 2013. Ibanez have a handy knack of making guitars and basses in the 'reasonable' price bracket that are remarkably good. This little mate ha a great neck, a well balanced light body and some handy electronics; it's a handy thing. The tone is definitely in the 'modern' genre; in keeping with the Soundgear tradition you get a very even tone that's fairly balanced across the frequency range. These basses came most often in gaudy solid finishes, so the understated red-brown stain is a classy touch. If you're after an easy playing bass for not much cash, this will tick the box.
