nbaptista Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hi, I have an Ibanez GSR 180 bass, I wonder if the SR300 would be much better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyaber Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I've only played a gsr once briefly but own a sr300. I believe the neck on the sr is slimmer in profile but may be wrong. The body of the sr is like a sucked sweet, no edges and very comfy. Not sure about pick ups and pre amp. Is the gsr passive or active. I have bought and sold a more expensive sr600 as I was so impressed with my cheaper 300. If a bass is better or not is so subjective. see if you can try one.

Definitely an upgrade but you would really need to try a 300 to see if you think it`s better. I have owned a couple of 300`s over the years and they are a good budget bass with a good tonal palate due to the pickup options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbaptista Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) A guy on You Tube seems not like all the features of this bass, he says he would like less features but better ones. Edited August 10, 2022 by nbaptista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I've 2x GSR200 and a SR600... Yep the SR300 is nice... All about that neck! Body is a bonus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Doesn't the SR300E have the powerspan pickups which are a bit different to the Bart styles found in the majority of the SR range? I tried an SR305E in a shop and very much liked the powerspan pickups, but haven't owned one long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s not the guy on You Tube that`s gonna be playing it, you need to get your hands on it to find out if it`s for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbaptista Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Well, I have bought the Ibanez SR300 after a short demo. Is ok, but beeing active is a bit weird for me, all the basses I had before were passive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
