SpaceChick Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172333-ibanez-sr300-a-budget-bass-fooled-me/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172333-ibanez-sr300-a-budget-bass-fooled-me/page__fromsearch__1[/url] 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's brilliant, thanks Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I've been playing the SR400 for 10years. Gigging a couple of times a month. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockfordStone Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
