In the best Soundgear tradition, the Ibanez Standard SR300E-PGM Pink Gold Metallic electric bass combines unparalleled playability with a modern, versatile tonal spectrum. While the streamlined Nyatoh body and slim maple and walnut neck contribute to the electric bass' agile handling, the reworked PowerSpan humbuckers combined with the active 3-band tone control deliver versatile tones for any musical style.
With its Nyatoh body in the typical flowing Soundgear design, the SR300E-PGM Pink Gold Metallic hugs the player for a robust playing position. The four-bolt neck is five-piece maple and walnut, with a flat "D" profile that fits comfortably in the hand and a jatoba fingerboard that makes fast basslines and complex grooves come off easily.
The Ibanez SR300E uses Ibanez PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups, which were developed especially for this bass. In combination with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control, they cover a variable sound spectrum. Whether transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the Ibanez Standard SR300E-PGM Pink Gold Metallic four-string always has the right setting for every style ready.
A special feature of the SR300E electric bass is furthermore the Power Tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to Tap or PowerTap mode. While the former delivers authentic single coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to this sound.
On the body side, the strings of the Ibanez Standard SR300E-PGM Pink Gold Metallic are held in place by the proven Accu-Cast B120 bridge, which, thanks to its solid construction, makes a significant contribution to the bass's long and even decaying sustain. At the same time, 19 mm string spacing provides room for clean strokes, even with a hearty grip, while the ball ends, which can be hooked in from the top, make string changes much easier. At the headstock, the strings are held by reliable die-cast tuners that guarantee precise tuning.
