Description

Ibanez positioned the SR300E within the SR (Soundgear) Series as an entry-to-mid-level electric bass, offering a slim, fast-playing profile aimed at players seeking a lightweight, comfortable instrument. The SR line was built around Ibanez's signature thin neck profile, and the SR300E carried that philosophy into the 300-tier of the range.

The bass was constructed with a Nyatoh body and a five-piece Maple/Walnut SR4 neck, with a Jatoba fretboard carrying white dot inlays and medium frets. The 34-inch / 864mm scale runs to a nut width of 38mm, tapering through dimensions of 19.5mm thickness at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth, with a 305mm radius fretboard. Two passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups — one at the neck, one at the bridge — fed into Ibanez's own Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with a 3-way Power Tap switch, providing tonal flexibility despite the passive pickup configuration. Hardware throughout was finished in black, anchored by an Accu-cast B120 bridge with 19mm string spacing.

Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance, or assistance sourcing compatible replacement hardware — including bridge saddles, nut blanks cut to 38mm, or pickup covers — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with bass instruments.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
