Product Description
Certain things at Northeast Music Center will always elicit a customer reaction. The crazy effect pedal they didn't even know they needed, The "like new" feel of a guitar with a fresh set-up, the devilish good looks of our intern. Etc. One of those things is the SR bass neck. Whether a seasoned vet or holding an instrument for the first time, shopping bassists are always stunned by the Soundgear's slim, easy to play neck.
The SR300 Features a mahogany body and 5 Piece Maple/Walnut Neck. These well rounded tonewoods send a very well balanced signal through the SR's Powerspan Dual Coil Pickups. the exposed pole pieces of the pickups produce a stronger signal, and increase the response of the higher frequencies without sacrificing low end. The result is a tone rich in harmonic detail and dynamic expression.
The 3-band EQ works in conjunction with a coil tap switch for maximum control over a wide variety of professional bass tones. Tap Mode (single coil) creates a punchy, dynamic sound with superior articulation. Series Mode (humbucking) delivers a full, warm tone, and Power Tap Mode provides the best of both worlds-combining the clarity of the single coil with the fat bottom end of the humbucker.
For 30 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.
