The SR300 series is aimed at bassists who are looking for a wiry, mid-heavy instrument for rock and metal. The mahogany body together with the five-stripe and therefore very stiff maple/rosewood neck ensures a fast attack and long sustain. The two humbuckers convert this sound formation into an electrical signal with high output, which can be further shaped not only with an active three-band tone control, but also with the so-called Power Tap switch. This makes it possible to switch between different pickup switching modes (single-coil mode; single-coil mode with boost; humbucker mode).
Thanks to the flat, compact and pleasantly rounded body and the thin and narrow neck, the bass can be played quickly and comfortably. There is no top-heaviness, the bass settles into a comfortable position when standing, and the low, well-distributed weight means that even long rehearsals or gigs are no problem.
