The Ibanez SR300EDX electric bass continues the SR legacy of modern, lightweight alternatives for bassists. With the SR300EDX, Ibanez delivers smooth playability, versatile tone-shaping and a lightweight, resonant build. The Ibanez bass features dual PowerSpan pickups that produce full lows without sacrificing crisp highs, aided by a 3-band EQ for sculpting your ideal tone. The SR300EDX has a fast, smooth 5-piece maple and walnut neck that provides tonal clarity and superior attack. Its lightweight nyatoh body offers rich low mids and resonance. The adjustable Accu-Cast bridge enables custom string spacing for your playing style. With the SR300EDX, Ibanez provides both rock-solid reliability and the versatility to find your signature sound.

Ibanez SR300EDX Electric Bass Nyatoh Body

Lightweight, Resonant Nyatoh Body

The chambered nyatoh body of the Ibanez SR300EDX keeps weight down while producing rich, resonant tone. Nyatoh yields clear low mids perfect for modern styles, while the deep double-cutaway body style provides playing comfort, letting you reach higher frets with ease. At just 8.2 pounds, the SR300EDX is designed to be an effortless stage companion—its smooth contours ensure hours of fatigue-free playing.

Ibanez SR300EDX Electric Bass Maple Walnut Neck

Smooth Maple/Walnut Neck

The SR300EDX features a slim, fast 5-piece maple and walnut neck ideal for comfortably moving up and down the jatoba fingerboard. Its smooth satin finish and medium-jumbo frets make playing along the 34" scale length a breeze. This tonewood combination provides enhanced tonal clarity and punchy attack, and the ergonomic neck contours keep your hands relaxed during long practice or gigging sessions.

Ibanez SR300EDX Electric Bass PowerSpan Dual Coil Pickups

PowerSpan Dual-Coil Pickups and 3-Band EQ

The Ibanez SR300EDX's electronics give you plenty of versatility to hone your tone. It sports a pair of PowerSpan Dual-Coil pickups that deliver strong lows and clear highs for rich detail. The 3-band EQ provides boosts and cuts to dial in the sweet spot. The Power Tap switch accesses three useful pickup modes—from warm humbucker to bright single-coil tones. With an SR300EDX at the ready, you have the control to match your sound to any genre.

Ibanez SR300EDX Electric Bass Accu-cast B500 Bridge

Customize Your Setup With the Adjustable Bridge

The Accu-cast B500 bridge on the SR300EDX enables adjustable string spacing for your ideal setup. Its saddle positions can be tweaked +/- 1.5 mm to match your playing style. Combined with medium-jumbo frets, you can dial in the perfect low action and intonation. The Accu-Cast bridge also contributes to the impressive sustain and resonance of your instrument.

For over 30 years, the Ibanez SR has given bassists a reliable, adaptable modern alternative. The SR300EDX carries on that legacy, providing versatility for gigging bassists at an irresistible value. With its smooth playability, flexible tone shaping and resonant lightweight build, the Ibanez SR300EDX is ready to become your trusty sidekick.

    Soundgear by Ibanez are always insanely good for the price point. My wife uses this one. And I've owned a couple others. Will be buying more Ibanez Soundgear in the future

  • Very good bass with few cons

    This bass plays very well and the neck is very comfortable. It can go low and clean and can deliver a bite. Nice pickups but I've never found myself actually using the jazz pickup as in my ears, not much sound has changed and i would even say it sounds worse and harder to play because of the tension. A VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL I DID NOT KNOW BEFORE BUYING THIS BASS is that the pick ups are powered by a battery and it will need to be changed when it gives out. This is quite inconvenient but still manageable. Also the bass is quite light which is pretty nice.

    Found this on display and tried out a bunch of other basses including the Yamaha, Schecter, and Fender. Overall, I felt this one played the best for me with a very sleek neck almost like I was playing my strat. Love the tone so far and recording through my Spark Edge it sounds great!

    This is my first Bass, decided to learn to play after spending years in the orchestra world. :) The bass arrived in great time, in amazing condition, and even though was the factory stock setup, didn't take long to get her up and going. (did replace the strings with some Jazz strings and did a quick polish on the fret ends, but that was about it. Sounds amazing, even though I'm still going through the basics. Only some very minor fret buzz, but again, a quick adjustment and all was good.

  • Great bass

    It's a great playing bass. Feels good in the hands. Only thing I bought the Red Wine one because I liked the red color. In pictures you can see the red stand out. In person you can hardly see the red on mine. Still going to keep it though. Even when I took a picture, the picture shows the red better than naked eye.

  • Great bass for the price

    I have been doing hardcore punk/metal gigs for about a year with this bass and in that time I can say the sound and playability is amazing for the price, it's also very lightweight which is great for longer sets or practice. A few minor defects/inconveniences such as minor fret buzz, my volume/EQ knobs came off randomly, and strange Alan key sizes for adjustments. Other than that would recommend to anyone, I've even thrown it off a 4ft stage onto concrete and it still plays fine (it cracked the body pretty bad and chipped up the finish though)

    A few reviews have noted fret buzz. Is this a setup or equipment issue. Will Guitar Center ensure that an out the door Ibanez SR300EDX Electric Bass Guitar will be fret buzz free?

    1) It would be a setup issue. 2) No, we don't. Our instruments ship in factory sealed boxes. We do not set up new instruments.

    This has a 9 volt battery but I see no off switch and it kills the battery between plays unless I remove the battery when done playing. Am I missing something?

    It doesn't have an on/off switch. Whether an active preamp is on or off has nothing to do with the battery life. If your battery is going dead when it's unplugged, it sounds like there's a short.
