Ibanez SR300E SR Standard 4-String Bass – Weathered Black
A slim, fast-playing 4-string with PowerSpan pickups and Power Tap switching, wrapped in a stealthy satin Weathered Black finish.
Is This Bass Right for You?
The SR300E has long been one of the smartest ways to get the real Soundgear experience without stretching your budget. If you want that unmistakable SR feel — a thin, sculpted body and a slim, fast neck that keeps your hand relaxed through a long practice session or a full set — this bass delivers it at a price that's easy to say yes to. It's a natural fit for the player moving up from a starter instrument who wants something they won't outgrow, and just as smart a pick for the gigging bassist who needs a dependable backup that can quietly cover a lot of ground. The Weathered Black satin finish keeps things understated and road-ready, so it looks right at home on any stage.
Key Highlights
- Two PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups deliver strong output with clear highs and a solid low end.
- 3-way Power Tap switch gives you humbucker, single-coil, and enhanced single-coil voices from one bass.
- Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ lets you shape bass, mid, and treble right at the instrument.
- Slim, fast SR4 5-piece maple/walnut neck makes moving around the fretboard effortless.
- Lightweight, contoured body that hugs you and stays comfortable set after set.
- Accu-cast B120 bridge with 19mm spacing handles heavy gauges and holds tuning securely.
Why You'll Love It
Features
Two PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups run into an Ibanez custom 3-band EQ paired with a 3-way Power Tap switch. The 5-piece maple/walnut SR4 neck carries a jatoba fretboard with 24 medium frets over a comfortable 34" scale.
Advantages
Power Tap packs three usable pickup voices into a single instrument, so you can shift from warm and fat to punchy and articulate without swapping basses. The slim neck and light body keep you comfortable from soundcheck to encore.
Benefits
You spend less time wrestling with tone and more time locking into the groove. Dial in a defined slap sound, a deep fingerstyle rumble, or a clean pick attack fast, and trust the Accu-cast bridge to stay put gig after gig.
Great Fit For
- Players stepping up from a first bass who want a real instrument to grow into.
- Gigging bassists who need a reliable, versatile backup that's ready to go.
- Slap and fingerstyle players who value a slim neck and quick setup.
- Anyone chasing the signature SR feel and modern electronics at a friendly price.
Sound & Feel
Sound
Expect strong, articulate output with plenty of harmonic detail — clear on top with a firm low end underneath. The Power Tap switch and 3-band EQ let you move from fat and warm to punchy and cutting in seconds.
Feel
The thin SR neck is the star here. Your fretting hand stays loose, position shifts feel quick and natural, and the 19mm string spacing leaves room for expressive slap and pop technique.
Use Case
Comfortable on a rock or metal stage, tight in a funk pocket, and smooth for jazz and fusion lines. One flexible bass that adapts to the room instead of boxing you into a single tone.
