Ibanez SR300E Bass, Sky Veil Matte Overview
The SR series from Ibanez has long been a go-to for bassists looking for an alternative to traditional designs. For 30 years, the SR has impressed with its quick neck, feather-light body, and meticulously calibrated electronics. The SR300E, in particular, embodies these qualities while also aiming to be accessible to a wide array of players with different needs and budgets.
5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck
The SR300E boasts a 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck that sets the stage for articulate playability and robust tonal projection. The multi-wood construction ensures stability and adds distinct tonal complexity to your bass lines.
Jatoba Fretboard
The reddish-brown Jatoba fretboard not only stands out visually but also offers a unique sonic character. It enriches the mid-range and brings a crisp, clean high end that complements a wide range of musical styles.
Precision and Comfort
Medium-sized frets have been chosen for this bass to improve note accuracy, giving you better control over your intonation.
Nyatoh Body
Constructed with a Nyatoh body, the SR300E offers a deeply resonant, mid-focused tonality that’s perfect for laying down grooves or cutting through a mix.
PowerSpan Dual Coil Pickups
The exposed pole pieces of Ibanez’s PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups generate a stronger signal that enhances high-frequency response while maintaining a robust low end. This translates into a tone full of harmonic richness and versatile dynamics.
Ibanez Custom 3-Band EQ
The bass comes with Ibanez Custom Electronics featuring a 3-band EQ that’s precisely tuned for maximum tone-shaping versatility. An innovative mid-frequency adjustment allows you to sculpt your tone further, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in EQ customization.
Accu-cast B120 Bridge
The Accu-cast B120 bridge is designed with extra-wide string slots to accommodate a variety of string gauges. Its unique construction maintains perfect directional uniformity of the strings, maximizing sustain and resonance.
3-Way Power Tap Switch
Accessed via a 3-way Power Tap switch, the SR300E offers three distinctive tonal variations: a rich humbucker sound, a pristine single-coil sound, and a “best of both worlds” option that combines the clarity of the single-coil with the richness of the humbucker.
