Description

Ibanez built the SR300E as part of the long-running SR (Soundgear) Series, positioning it as a mid-tier, full-scale electric bass within a line long associated with slim, fast-playing necks and active electronics. The Iron Pewter finish variant carried the designation SR300EIPT.

The bass was constructed with a Nyatoh body and a five-piece Maple/Walnut neck — the SR4 profile — joined to a Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays and medium frets. The nut width measures 38mm, widening to 62mm at the 24th fret, with a neck thickness of 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the 12th, over a 305mm radius. The 34-inch scale (864mm) runs to an Accu-cast B120 bridge with 19mm string spacing. Passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups sit at both the neck and bridge positions, feeding into Ibanez's own Custom Electronics 3-band EQ equipped with a 3-way Power Tap switch — a circuit that allowed the player to select between pickup coil configurations. All hardware was finished in Cosmo black.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note the Accu-cast B120 bridge dimensions and 19mm string spacing when evaluating aftermarket saddle or bridge replacements, and the standard medium fret profile when considering a refret. A qualified guitar technician or luthier can advise on compatible components and setup specifications for this instrument.

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.

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.
