Ibanez MB300C hardcase for SR series

[yellowmiata]

Just received my new Ibanez MB300C bass case. It is build for the SR line of Ibanez basses, with the cutout that snugly holds the body. Specs say it’ll hold from a 4 to a 6 string. Just got it so I’ll post back in a bit to see how this thing gigs.

Is neck support removable for putting in wider 6 string SR neck?

How solid does the case feel?

Been thinking of buying one of these for my Premium SR.
Wish I could find NOS like I did for my gig bag. I got the previous model for a steal & the padding is actually thicker.

No, there aren’t any removable parts. It seems to cradle the neck and snug-hold it when closed.

It’s not a wood case, neither in weight or structure. I surely don’t have a worry that my bass would be bent or compressed in any way.
But... I wouldn’t sit on it or put my cab on it. Though, I did set my cab on it (BF BB2) and it held it fine.
The outer surface has “Ibanez” printed deep in it, providing a good deal of structural support.
Inside, it feels very solid and holds the SR nicely. I read a review that the upper horn’s strap knob barely fits. I have a fully sunk strap-lock so that’s a non issue for me. But if you have a protruding strap knob, it might be an issue.

owh... I see. I thought it's the same as the newer MRB500C, which has removable & configurable neck cradle to adapt to the bass neck size (seems it's because the newer hard shell case can be used with up to 7 string BTB).

I think you mean MRB500C:

Very nice case, and very nice fit (not at all a given with cases). Congrats!
