Four-string Soundgear Bass with comfortable handling and flexible sound
The Ibanez Standard SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte combines incomparably high playability with a modern, versatile sound spectrum in the best Soundgear tradition. While the streamlined body made of Nyatoh and the slim maple-walnut neck contribute to the agile handling of the four-string E-Bass, the revised PowerSpan humbuckers in combination with the active 3-band tone control deliver versatile sounds for every style of music. Last but not least, Ibanez completes the SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte with reliable hardware, whose gold finish harmoniously complements the chic Matt-Finish.
The Ibanez Standard SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte not only impresses with its fantasic look, but also with its agile playing characteristics and versatile bass sounds.
Typical Soundgear playing comfort
Thanks to the Nyatoh body in the typical, flowing Soundgear design, the SR300EDX Bass hugs the player and thus offers a robust playing position both sitting on the leg and standing on the strap. The four-piece bolt-on neck is made from five pieces of maple and walnut, while the flat "SR4" profile sits comfortably in the hand and allows fast basslines and complex grooves to flow easily from the jatoba fingerboard.
PowerSpan humbucker with active 3-band tone control
The pickups used on the standard SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte are Ibanez PowerSpan dual-coil pickups specially developed for this Bass which, in conjunction with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control, cover a variable sound spectrum. Whether transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the four-string always has the right setting for every style and also accurately reproduces lower tunings.
Power tap switch for sound variability
Another special feature of the Ibanez SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte bass guitar is the power tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to tap or power tap mode. While the former delivers authentic single-coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to the sound.
High-quality Hardware with unwavering reliability
Last but not least, Ibanez equips the Standard SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte with reliable Hardware in an elegant gold finish. On the body side, the strings are attached to the tried-and-tested Accu-Cast B500 bridge, whose solid construction supports the sustain-rich sound character of the bass guitar. The string saddles can be individually adjusted for intonation and string position and, with a string spacing of 19 mm, offer sufficient space for clean attacks even with a spirited playing style, while the ball ends, which can be attached from above, make changing the strings much easier. Ibanez die-cast bass tuners on the headstock also keep the Bass securely in tune.

Ibanez Standard SR300EDX-CZM Cosmic Blue Frozen Matte
I had this bass, sold it but I am think of buying it again. Very well made and very good sound. Rarely goes out of tune. Nice, funky, rounded sound for wide range of genres.

An amazing instrument for the money. Low weight, excellent tones, smoothest and least sticky neck I've used on any guitar/bass in this price range. Had it for about 3 weeks now, can't find a fault on it. Sure, it doesn't sound quite like a bass 10 times the price, but I would gig with this any day.
