NBD. Ibanez SR300 w/updated pickups

[tim68]

Just got this new SR300, with the new "Powerspan" pickups. I think that the pickups are a definite improvement over the old curved ones.
Three way switch...single coil, boosted single coil, and humbucking. In boosted, or humbucking mode, this thing is seismic! Mahogany body, so it has a nice, deep tone to it. Color is Metallic Gray, a carry-over color, that I'm glad they kept.
I owned one of these in last year's model, briefly. Everything was the same, down to the color, except for the pickups, of course.
Great bass.. Love it!

Thanks! So far, I'm liking the new pickups. Lots of tonal flexibility. The old pickups weren't bad IMO, but I think that the curved pickup concept is inherently ,somewhat flawed.
I wasn't really looking to buy another bass. (yeah, right..lol!) I walked into GC, and they had this one new 4-banger, in the color I like.
I've regretted getting rid of the other Metallic Gray 300 I had before, but this one is even better.
