The Ibanez Standard SR300EDX-RGC Rose Gold Chameleon convinces not only with an extroverted look, but also with agile playing characteristics and diverse bass sounds.
Typical Soundgear playing comfort
Featuring a Nyatoh body in the typical flowing Soundgear design, the SR300EDX Bass hugs the player for a robust playing position both sitting on the leg and standing on the strap. The four-bolt neck is five-piece maple and walnut, with a flat "SR4" profile that sits comfortably in the hand and lets fast basslines and complex grooves flow easily on the jatoba fingerboard.
PowerSpan humbucker with active 3-band tone control.
As pickup on the standard SR300EDX-RGC Rose Gold Chameleon specially developed for this BassIbanez PowerSpan dual-coil pickups are used, which in conjunction with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control cover a variable sound spectrum. No matter or transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the four-stringer always has the right setting for every style ready and also presents deeper tunings precisely.
Power tap switch for sound variability
A special feature of the Ibanez SR300EDX Rose Gold Chameleon bass guitar is furthermore 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 provides authentic single-coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to this sound.
High quality Hardware with unwavering reliability.
Last but not least, Ibanez equips the Standard SR300EDX-RGC Rose Gold Chameleon with reliable Hardware in an elegant gold finish. On the body side, the strings are held by the proven Accu-Cast B500 bridge, whose solid construction supports the bass guitar's sustain-rich tonal character. The tailpieces, which can be individually adjusted for intonation and string position, have a string spacing of 19 mm and offer sufficient space for clean strokes even when played vigorously, while the ball ends, which can be hooked in from above, make changing the strings much easier. At the headstock, Ibanez Die-Cast bass machine heads also keep the Bass securely in the correct tuning.

Ibanez Standard SR300EDX-RGC Rose Gold Chameleon B-Stock/Demo
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.
