The GSR is more 80s metal-oriented while the TMB is more 60s/70s. They both have powerful EQ options so one could probably play almost any type of music on either one - but you may prefer the sound of one or the other, I haven't heard them head-to-head.
I personally prefer the looks of the Talman and have no complaints about it. Whichever one inspires you to play more is the better one for you.
Personally, I think this is the way to go if you are a beginner wanting to see if bass guitar is for you (as opposed to starting with higher end model), since it's so easy to resell. My 2¢.
Thanks for posting OP!
Agreed, but I'd still say buy a better bass and also pay for the setup
Or you can order from Sweetwater. Supposedly they set up all their guitars before shipping.

Last guitar I bought from them that supposedly had a 55 point inspection still needed work to get it playable.
Cheapest sound gear basses back in the 90s were $300 and this GIO is probably just as good if not better than it.
Bought a mikro bass from adorama recently and it required no setup and actually sounds decent!!

Our 55-point Inspection is different than a setup, because our inspection ensures that the instrument meets manufacturer tolerances, whereas a setup tailors the guitar to a player's specific preferences. A setup typically involves our world-class Guitar Workshop installing your preferred strings, adjusting to a requested action height, and even installing new pickups or other parts. If you would like your instrument set up before it ships, simply tell your Sales Engineer. They'll be happy to oblige.
Phillip McKnight did a video on the 55 point inspection.
