I bought the Ibanez GSR200 as my starter bass (didn’t watch the BassBuzz video first) but despite their negative review I was happy with it. I think it sounds good for a $200 bass and has some nice tone versatility. The neck is built similarly to the necks of the higher model Ibanez basses, which are notoriously fast and easy to play. The “bass boost” feature is silly and useless but you can just leave it turned off. Can’t speak to the Cort or Yamaha but the GSR200 is good value imo.
Agreed with Howard that if budget isn’t really a factor you’re probably better off spending a little more on a better bass like the Yamaha BB234 or something from the Squier Classic line. It probably wouldn’t be long before you’d want to upgrade from a “beginner” bass anyway.
