The SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat at a glance:
The Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut FlatBass 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 neck made of maple and rosewood contribute to the agile handling of the E-Bass, the revised PowerSpan humbuckers in combination with the active 3-band tone control deliver versatile sounds for every style of music.
The Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat offers the typical playing comfort of the Soundgear series.
The slim neck and the ergonomically shaped body of the Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat offer a high level of playing comfort.
Typical Soundgear playing comfort
With its Nyatoh body in the typical, flowing Soundgear design, the Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat nestles up against the player and thus offers a robust playing position. The four-piece bolt-on neck is made from five pieces of maple and walnut, while the flat "D" profile sits comfortably in the hand and allows fast basslines and complex grooves to flow easily from the Jatoba fingerboard.
Together with the active 3-band tone control, the PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups of the Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat provide tonal versatility.
PowerSpan humbucker with active 3-band tone control
The Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat uses Ibanez PowerSpan Dual coil pickups specially developed for this Bass, which cover a variable sound spectrum in conjunction with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control. Whether you're looking for transparent solo and jazz sounds, a smacking rock growl or a rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the four-string always has the right setting for every style.
The coils of the pickups can be called up in different combinations using the Power Tap switch.
Power Tap switch for sound variability
Another special feature of the Ibanez Standard SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat is the Power Tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to tap or PowerTap mode. While the former delivers authentic single coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter complements this sound with a fundamental bass component.
Reliable The cast tuners give the Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat a high level of tuning stability.
High-quality Hardware with unshakeable reliability
On the body side, the strings of the Ibanez SR300EB-WNF Walnut Flat are attached to the tried-and-tested Accu-Cast B120 bridge, whose solid construction contributes significantly to the long and even decay Sustain of the Basses. At the same time, 19 mm string spacing offers space for clean attacks even with a firm grip, while the ball ends, which can be attached from above, make it much easier to change strings. At the headstock, the strings are held in place by reliable die-cast tuners that guarantee precise tuning.
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.
