Upgrading the PUPs on an Ibanez SR300

[Marvin]

My SR300 has the stock Ibanez pups and I was wondering if anyone had or would know of a possible replacement pickup I could use.

There's nothing really wrong with the stock pups, it's more idle curiosity than anything else, you don't often see threads on replacing Ibanez pickups.

I have wondered the same thing. I also like the stock ones though.

Thats because they're decent, and don't usually require replacement.

Itd be a good use of the same money to try other Ibanez models second-hand, maybe?

You'd get an EDB500 for next to nothing s/h, and you'd automatically get a great set of pickups IN it!!

You're right. I'm trying to stop myself from buying another, probably Ibanez, bass

I tried an EDB500 at an open mic a few months ago. Very nice bass.

I was all about fender but I am liking the tone of the ibanez.

I find it odd that Ibanez get quite regularly criticised for the lack of tone. I've played a few now with stock pickups and the Barts and I don't understand why they get a bad reputation. I've liked all of them.
