The Ibanez SR300DXF is a new fretless version of the popular, affordable, and extremely playable Ibanez SR Soundgear Bass! This model features the Ibanez SR4 neck and active electronics. You read that right, even at this price, the SR300DX is an active bass, just like the rest of the Soundgear line. A slim 24-fret neck and a comfortably contoured body have made Soundgear basses favorites with thousands of players.
Features: Fretless ebonol fingerboard with fret lines

Ibanez first introduced the Soundgear bass in 1987. That same bass continues to be one of the world's most played basses. Why
Because it's not the same bass. Certainly it's still the sleekest and sexiest. And with all the SR models featuring active electronics, it's still the most tonally versatile. It still has the fastest neck. But Ibanez has continued to improve and update the Soundgear line.
When the Soundgear first came out, a highly compressed sound was popular. Now players demand a heavier sound with a more human touch. To accommodate these changes, Ibanez, changed the Soundgear. And now the range of Soundgears is staggering - everything from elite instruments to the new amazingly low priced GSR models.
SR4 Neck Only 20.5mm thick at the first fret, the 34" scale SR4STND Soundgear neck is thin, fast and strong. The bolted on All Access neck joint allows the easy access to the upper frets associated with set-in and neck thru joints.
Agathis Body A relative of mahogany with similar tonal characteristics, agathis provides warm lows with strong sustain.
Rosewood Fingerboard Rosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain.
"This site is awesome! The products are top quality, the shipping costs are amazing (and usually free), and the satisfaction is more than guaranteed. They have been helpful to me 100% of the time. zZounds 4 ever!" - customer on August 22, 2010
Quality:
Very solid and functionla. The knobs seem to be more trustworthy than most ive seen.
Value:
Deffinitely Recommend. Super bass for someone on a bit of a budget.
Desirability:
Candy red, curvy body, pretty chrome knobs make it very sleek. I have to say, i would prefer it without the drawn in fret lines, though they are useful for learning to play on a fretless.
Sound:
The tone is amazing for the price. It will work for many styles by varying the tone knobs. Ive been using it with an Ampeg BA110 bass amp and ive been able to get a nice deep tone or basiclaly any one that i want.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to personalize the tone. Unless the music store i bought it from had already set it up which i doubt, it really doesnt need much in the way of lowering the action or anything to get good playability.
Overall:
Not a top end bas but an amazing bargain. When I went to the store, I want looking to buy a fretless, but i fell in love with the tone and the look suited me.
Style of Music: On this bass mostly jazz, funk, punk, and other rocl
