All user reviews of 4/5 for the Ibanez SR300DX

So look here....this is not an expensive bass guitar. What it is is a very nice inexpensive bass guitar.

UTILIZATION

I put some high quality strings on mine and it is sweet. After I set it up and adjusted everything it plays great.

SOUNDS

With the tone controls and the bass boost it can get lots of tones.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought mine used for $130 with no case. That may be the best $130 I've ever spent. This guitar is fantastic for the money. I also have an Ibanez AS73 6 string that is a wonderful guitar too. Ibanez just knows how to make good guitars that are not expensive............and they do it well!

This is my frist bass,Ive been playing for just over a year now...i spent a lot of time chosing a bass to start with, i did want to set off on the Squire...Fender Fakes..road..so i chose an Ibanez and paid just over £220 for it...witha case, strap and strings..from Academy Of sound..

Its built as solid as a rock and altho ive become a very competent player i always find that when i pick up my ibanez that I'm goin to find something new..Slapping can be a bit tricky because of the Ol-Pencil neck on the bass..tho with a bit of movemnt and a bit of practice..u can get quite a bassy thump when u slapping...Slides are a brezze..the Active electronics give this bass a powerful punch and its great when playing live...tho ewith 24frets...there's far too much choice..when impro-ing..The whole bass with it's bolt-on neck is sturdy and very well made...better then the cheap and nasty squire basses that u can get.

Recent ive been looking a for a new bass...my parents said they'd get me one because i got 145/150 for my Grade 8 Rock School. Ive noticed that the ibanez is good but again..the neck.,.because i tend to do alot of Stu Zender-esc licks..its far too narrow..and im quicker falling for wide neck..s the fretboard isnt flat its slightly round which means when slapping the string tend to slide down the neck...the electronic have failed twice on me..and ive re-wired it twice..its now working fine...i have found it very hard to remove fret buzz...but after a year of tweaking it's sounding sweet...but the worst thing is that's it's bass wood.it doesnt move and contract due to room conditions as they change.i notice that sometime...the bass sound really sweet and heavy and the slapping tone is perfect and im like..wow i sound good...then other times...it sound well kind weak and feable..and your like oh im really not that good....but i still like it...

Top Notch..apart from electronic's failing and the damn knobs that wont stay on

Good bass.great for starts......and experience players who want something a little different...not the best....but good...basswood body lets the side down when climatic change take place..but EQ is great for playing around with...tho u do get lots of Reverb....Become Stu...And by one...

Good qualitprix

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs.
CHAC is very easy to acute.
The bass is lgre and shape allows a grip enjoyable.
The rglages easy.

SOUNDS

I make mtal but I also practice the rock on this bass. The sound was always silent trs correct. The electronic active has a lot to I think.
I play with a bass amp and uses a 160w Laney Bass Overdrive BOSS effect from time to time and I get to have the sound I'm looking for.
The bass sounds as good on the mtal, as the blues through the slap.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this bass for 2 years.
What I like about this bass is its versatility. You can really feel all styles.
When I bought it I found that despite an attractive price this low was certain assets (electronic active Aesthetics ,...)
