A hard-working 4-string with high-end features and an attractive price tag.
For 25 years, the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. Embraced by bassists over the decades, the iconic series continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body and perfectly matched electronics.
The SR300E is a handsome 4-string bass designed for the experienced player. The bass starts with an immaculately finished mahogany body. Other features include a sturdy 5-piece maple/jatoba SR4 neck, a jatoba fretboard, and an Accu-cast B120 bridge for superior string vibration transfer and precise intonation. Cosmo Black hardware adds a hint of stealth.
At the heart of the SR300E's electronics are two PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups. Their stainless pole pieces offer higher output, clarity and more fullness than any in the SR300's class. Accessed by the 3-way "Power Tap" switch, these proprietary pickups offer a choice of three tonal personalities: a rich humbucker sound, pure single-coil sound, or enhanced single-coil sound—fattened by lows from the humbucker pickups. Add the ability to dial in precise tone preferences via the Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ, and the SR300E is a musical chameleon.
