The Perfect First Bass!

When you pick up an Ibanez SR300 electric bass, you're instantly greeted with that signature Ibanez "feel." In fact, you'll be surprised by how close the Ibanez SR300 plays and sounds like its higher end SR series siblings. That feel and general "vibe" is due in large part to the SR300's sleek 5-piece maple/rosewood neck and its comfortable Agathis arched body. As for tone, this one's loaded with two high-output Ibanez EXF humbucking pickups plus a 3-band Style Sweeper equalization system. All things considered, the Ibanez SR300 represents a sweet value for any bassist.

  • Puts signature Ibanez feel into an affordable package
  • Jammed with tone, courtesy of humbucking pickups and Style Sweeper EQ

Puts signature Ibanez feel into an affordable package
Finally, the feel of a big-time bass loaded into an awesomely reasonable priced package. Perfect for newcomers to the low-end, the Ibanez SR300 sports Ibanez's signature "sleek and comfortable" playing feel. It's got a 5-piece maple and rosewood neck, a comfortably contoured Agathis body, and a dark rosewood fingerboard that provides contrast to the SR300's striking body color.

Jammed with tone, courtesy of humbucking pickups and Style Sweeper EQ
Get ready for serious low-end juice. The Ibanez SR300 features two of Ibanez's EXF-4-R humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets. To make the most out of the pickups - and to help you dial in the right bass tone - the SR300 is also loaded with the powered Style Sweeper equalization system. With the Style Sweeper, you can quickly select among carefully contoured tones - ones that are equalized to make the most out of a variety of playing styles. It's a great way to really nail a modern or classic sound, without much fiddling at all.

Amazing

by Paul Sabre from St Charles, IL
February 10, 2010
Music Background: 25+ year Weekend Warrior and Burnt-Out Old Rocker
This bass has me shaking my head.
As a weekend warrior who could never afford the Alembic I always wanted, I've been thru my share of basses in the 25+ years I've been gigging. P Bass, couple of ... read more [+]Jazz Basses, Peavey, Gibson, and some others I can't even recall.
This bass plays and sounds better than anything I've ever owned. Plus, it's light! I just can't do a Jazz Bass on my shoulder for 4 hours anymore.
The posting rules say not to mention price. But I will say, at this writing, Sweetwater sells this thing for less than anywhere else. Shipped to your door! Even at the higher price this bass is a great value. In my humble opinion, it's the steal of the century for a quality bass.
And I do mean quality. The price says "starter bass" but you'll want to gig out with it. The finish is much better in person than in the pictures. It has 3 band eq with sweepable mids right on the bass. No more fiddling with the amp to get the sound you need. And it's light weight and comfort won't wear you out after a full night of rocking.
You simply can't go wrong here. close [-]

Very Nice

Great bass. I ordered this as an item as 'out of stock' but had it in three days (Sweetwater does rock!).

I'm a guitar player with a little bass experience. I needed something that woul... read more [+]d allow me to go from guitar to bass comfortably. This is a very comfortable transition, The neck is great. Felt very much 'at home'. Very smooth, fast and given some of the differences in a guitar versus bass neck, did not feel foreign at all.

It sounds great! The various tone controls on this thing are outstanding. I have yet to really get them down but it gives you a wide range of tonalities. In short, however you want to color your low end, I think this will do it. Quite a feature for such a reasonable cost .

I demo'd it through a bass amp sim (Ampeg SVX) and I had this rolling, rumbling and slapping at no time. The pick ups. from my limited knowledge, put out the kind of beefy but defined sound I look for. I like that throaty sound. I also noted that I could get some more old school, 'motown-y' kind of overtones too. I should also say that in the instances where I needed to find a little upper end in the bass register, it stayed nice and defined too.

It's versatile, suffice it to say.

Finish. Well done and quality. I was hesitant about the Roadster Orange but glad I got it. Looks really cool. Pics don't do the color justice. It's very much that early 70's Corvette orange. I wouldn't want a different color now.

Great value, easy to play, sounds good and looks cool. What's not to like? close [-]

Has plenty of versatility for the money

by eMILIO from

Music Background:
Bang for the buck here, being an inexpensive bass it did not come set up/playable. Knob fell off right out of the box, after an hour of playing another knob fell off.

I love the low en... read more [+]d capabilities of this bass, I do not care for the very cheap knobs. I am not a fan of the orange color, I ordered a white one, after a week of waiting I realized the white one did not have humbuckers, so I settled for the orange. My Sweetwater contact was great, they treated me well, I do not blame them for any of my troubles. I would spend the extra 2-300 and upgrade to something a little better. If you want a good sounding bass and can live with a few pains in the a**, this is it. close [-]
