Ibanez SR300 - any good

[SpaceChick]

Im considering upgrading my current cheapy beginner bass.

Being a girl with small hands, I have heard good stories about the Ibanez SR300 as it has a narrow neck.

I can't afford to pay out vast sums for a new bass.

Bearing in mind I'm a non gigging beginner, what are your views on this bass?

Thanks in advance

This might help.

There are quite a few on here that have got a 300 and they've got a good rep. Neck is stupidly skinny. Some don't like the Ibanez pups, but tbh they sound good to me.


Did I mention I've got one

That's brilliant, thanks Marvin

I've been playing the SR400 for 10years. Gigging a couple of times a month. No problems.

Really nice basses. I had a red/maple neck one a while back and they are exc value for money. Well finished and very comfortable to play.

i used to have one of these along with other ibanez basses

always found the necks easy to play even 5 string models.

i only got rid of mine as they didnt fit my current playing style, but they are well worth considering as a reasonably priced upgrade
