ok so having a mess around with it now I understand the knobs better... 1 and 2, pickups - these appear to work fine 3 - tone - appears to make no or very little difference, could I be going wrong somewhere? Presumably simply turning it as far as it goes, when at least one of the pickups are up full I should be able to hear some sort of difference? How noticeable should it be? Also, the knobs themselves are quite wobbly, presume that's not a good sign?

ideal thanks! show's my search skills are lacking!

my version of the GSR 200 only has 3 knobs, which I'm confused about as I can't seem to see any examples of this online.. they all appear 4! There's no battery in the back, so assume passive?

thanks for the input another question.... gear related this time: I have a used Ibanez Gio GSR200, I like the feel of it, but the action feels like it may be a bit high but I'm not completely sure. I've googled a bit and can't really find a conclusive answer on a) how to measure the action and b) what it should actually be set at (even approximately)? Also, there's 3 knobs. One of them is the volume, but I'm a bit confused as what the other two actually are. I think they may be in relation to the pick ups but I can't really tell. There seems to only be a very subtle change when adjusting the middle one, and no change when adjusting the 3rd. Suggests there's a problem with the wiring? Or perhaps I just don't know/ understand what I'm doing? I'll probably end up taking it to someone and pay for a set up, but before I do, would be interested in anyone's thoughts on this. Thanks again!

Hey, so I'm early stages of learning, self teaching so far, with the help of some YouTube videos! I'm using fingers, no pick, and alternating 1st and 2nd finger....most of the time, but I've noticed not ALL of the time! Sometimes I'll double here and there, or start off on 2nd finger. Does this kind of stuff matter? Or should I be following some kind of rule when it comes to finger picking? Also placement of right hand in general...I sometimes have my thumb on the higher pick up and other times on the lower picker? Does this matter? Also, last question...I'm playing along to reggae tunes mainly, good idea or bad idea? Maybe not the best place to start? That's what my ear is telling me to do!
