Abstract: Let $G$ be a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group and $mathcalC$ be a class of groups containing at least one non-unit group and closed under taking subgroups, extensions, and Cartesian products of the form $pro{d}_{yinY}{X}_y$, where $X,YinmathcalC$ and $X_y$ is an isomorphic copy of $X$ for every $yinY$. We give a criterion for $G$ to be residually a $mathcalC$-group provided $mathcalC$ consists only of periodic groups. We also prove that $G$ is residually a torsion-free $mathcalC$-group if $mathcalC$ contains at least one non-periodic group and is closed under taking homomorphic images. These statements generalize and strengthen some known results. Using the first of them, we provide criteria for a GBS-group to be a) residually nilpotent; b) residually torsion-free nilpotent; c) residually free.
