I just bought and received a new Ibanez SR300EB in weathered black. After restringing and setting up the bass, I'm really impressed. It plays great and sounds great. I just wanted a cheap backup to my P bass and I think this will do the trick!

Thank you. I really like the raw wood feel on the body.
It's tough to go wrong with any stripe of SR300 from any era. Solid value all around. 
I have the SR300EB Candy Apple. I liked it enough to get a 300E to keep at my girlfriend's for playing there.
Those are nice basses. Definitely interested in your thoughts on the pickups and whether they'll stick around.
Ibanez does a great job on that type of finish. I have an SR650 in a lighter shade and agree 100% about the feel; like it's made to be touched, which is a good quality in an instrument.
Wishing you many happy notes!
I've owned a SR370E before and remember liking the powerspan pickups. I will probably play it at my next live show and make an assessment from there.
They are really nice basses. I'm blown away at the quality for the price. The bass stayed on a hot fed ex truck for 3 days. I figured it would have a warped neck when it arrived. We have been having 105 degree days here in Louisiana. To my surprise, everything was perfectly fine.
I have 3 series SRs in 4 and 5 and they're great basses, so you've made an excellent choice. I like the Powerspan pickups.
Congrats on the new bass and have fun playing it.

It is said that the low number SR series basses are for beginner's? I would respectfully disagree. I have an SR fretless 5 and it is a very nice bass. Other than being shipped with rounds it came flawless. ( why rounds? ) Plays and sounds great with the flats I put on it. Congrats on your new bass!
