Ibanez SR300

[SaxyBassist]

Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying my Ibanez SR300 which has given me such a boost I can't put it down!! I gave up trying to learn on a cheapy P copy which was way to heavy for me so I gave up a couple of years ago.

I just hope I have enough time left (Im 54) to learn to play it properly

Ibbys have a unique sound , which makes them preferable to all the Fender copies out there.

Good basses the SR300. Nothing more to say really [size=4] [/size]

Although not an SR300, I have a 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II RB650, which I bought it last month for £199 + £20 postage and all I had to do to it was to give it a thorough clean, I've had to scrub some serious dirt and grime from the neck and cavities and after a set of new strings and a quick setup it plays better than a bass worth at least a thousand notes. I was reading about it on TalkBass and some people there were saying the pickups was the only thing that let this bass down, but I reckon whoever said that don't know what they are talking about, these pickups are fantastic, clear as day, loud and the simple controls work like a dream, infact to me this is one of the best P/J 4 string basses I've ever played.

That Ibby is gorgeous. Love it with the maple board. I've never had the pleasure of playing one, but have only heard good things about them.
Cheers
