Eko PB 300 Sunburst

A Bass Inspired by a Design That Has Been a Reference Since the 1950s

The Eko PB300 follows the lineage of "PB-type" basses whose shape and configuration have influenced generations of bassists since the 1950s. Eko revisits this iconic formula (double cutaway, split-coil pickup, 4-saddle bridge) to offer an accessible, ergonomic electric bass designed to support first steps without sacrificing essentials: playability, versatility, and effectiveness in a band setting.

For Whom and In Which Styles?

Designed for beginner bassists (and guitarists looking to add a reliable bass to their arsenal), the PB300 feels at home in most contexts: pop, rock, funk, punk, variety, blues, and even heavier music with a distortion pedal. Its tone control makes adjustment very intuitive: more open for a snappy, defined playing style, more closed for a round, old-school sound.

The Sound

The combination of a poplar body and maple neck aims for an effective balance: crisp attack, good clarity, and consistent response, while the laurel fingerboard adds a slight warmth that softens the sharper character of the maple. The PB-type split-coil single pickup, in passive electronics, delivers solid lows and present mids, perfect for "holding the track" in a mix. The Eko 4-saddle bridge/tailpiece allows precise adjustment of each string (action and intonation), while promoting clean and even sustain.
