Ibanez SR300E-Dot Deep Ocean Metallic

SR Soundgear: a bass designed for versatility and comfort

The SR300E fits within Ibanez's Soundgear spirit: a bass focused on playing comfort, with a slim neck and ergonomics suited for long sessions. Within the range, it stands out as a particularly versatile model thanks to its active electronics and Power Tap switching system, ideal for covering many styles without multiplying instruments.

For which bassists and styles?

The Ibanez SR300E is well suited for beginner to intermediate bassists looking for an easy-to-play bass, as well as more experienced musicians needing an all-around instrument for stage or home studio. Its array of controls makes it comfortable in rock, pop, funk, metal (attack and precision), as well as neo-soul and fusion (fine EQ shaping).

The sound

The nyatoh body provides a balanced foundation, with solid lows and present mids, ideal for maintaining clarity in a mix. The jatoba fingerboard, with its rather lively character, enhances definition and delivers clear highs, useful for slap, pick attacks, or very articulated lines.

The PowerSpan Dual Coil passive pickups deliver a powerful and detailed signal, while the 3-band Ibanez Custom Electronics EQ allows precise adjustment of bass, mids, and treble. The 3-way Power Tap further expands the palette: Tap mode for a more direct and percussive tone, Series mode for a fuller, warmer sound, and Power Tap mode to combine clarity and density in the low end.

Recommended compatible accessories

To protect and transport the instrument, the recommended references are: MB300C case and IBB540-BK gig bag. To maintain the original string gauge, the SR300E is equipped with D'Addario EXL165 strings in .045/.065/.085/.105, a set perfectly suited for standard tuning.
