The SR300 4-string electric bass is priced like a beginner's instrument, but it has features that make it anything but a cut-rate starter axe. First off, it has a 5-piece SR4 maple/rosewood neck and light, agathis body with smooth rounded edges and a deep, lower cutaway for better access to the upper frets. The dual EXF-4 pickups and an upgraded 3-band Style Sweeper EQ deliver improved overall sound whether you're grooving on the low-end for some crunchy classic rock, or working the full fretboard for a more pop sound.

Very playable mostly due to the very thin neck. The action was near perfect as purchased. Only mild flaw was some rough edges to the frets in the upper register. They're an easy fix but din't affect the playability anyway.

Newly designed EXF-N2 pickups on SR250/300/370/400 series provide punchy humbucking sound with well balanced output volume of each string The EQ is exceptional

Can't envision any problems. This bass is really well built.
