The Ibanez SR300 bass guitar has superb flexibility and affordability. The core Soundgear philosophy has not changed since its debut in 1987 : a modern bass for players who want a thin, fast neck, and the ability to dial in any tone for any genre-from complex electric jazz to raging metal. The 2008 Soundgear has continued this tradition while adding a modern flavour. The SR300-IPT has an agathis body, slim and fast SR maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard and 24 medium frets. The B100 adjustable bridge keeps the tuning stability well. The Ibanez SR 300 also features Ibanez EXF pickups and onboard 3-band active eq with a useful Style Sweeper control. The Style Sweeper not only provides a variety in tone, but also practically controls the mid range for finger or slap, according to your playing style. The SR300 delivers all the quality you expect from Ibanez at a very affordable price.

At the entry level end of the market is where you’ll find the Ibanez GSR 180TR bass guitar and the guys at Ibanez have crafted this instrument so that it’s easy to play for beginners and novices. The body is neatly contoured for comfort with a double cut-away whilst the neck is slim and thinner than a lot of other instruments positioned at the entry level market point.

The neck is medium scale with 22 frets and constructed from Mahogany with a Rosewood finger board and medium frets, orientation is done using pearloid dot inlays as fret markers. The pick-ups are of the Ibanez J-type single coil models and are positioned by the neck and bridge with a volume control each and a single tone control.

The GSR 180 headstock is in natural wood finish with wing-nut key machine heads die-cast in chrome. At the opposite end of the instrument the bridge is a 4 saddle Ibanez B10 model which is also chrome plated as are the volume and tone knobs.

The Ibanez AGB200 Electric Bass from the Artcore series features an 30" scale for easy fingering. The semi-hollow body construction increases sustain and combines with the double humbuckers for an unmistakable "roots rock" sound. Super-stable Gibraltar III bridge. Maple top, back and sides.

The Ibanez EDB 700 Egrodyne features a comforably shaped soft maple body with a curved back for comfort and scooped out front for easy slapping and popping. With a strong and slender 24 medium fret two-octave maple neck, the EDB700 guarantees fast and easy fretwork. Powered by twin Ibanez passive pickups with active EQB-III 3-Band EQ. Ibanez's Accu-Cast B20 bridge is adurable die-cast design which offers easier string changes than any other bridge design. Single screw saddle height adjustment offers better stability than standard double screw designs.

The Ibanez BTB555 is built with all the top shelf materials, delivering rich, electrifying tones. The BTB555MP takes the traditional formula of powerful tones produced by a massive body and substantial neck and then adds an even longer 35 inch scale neck, the right mix of select woods and high-tech appointments. The BTB555MP has a unique off-center line neck shape, which follows the natural path of the thumb as it moves up the neck, making upper fretwork as easy as playing the lower frets. The 35 inch neck scale provides superior articulation with no "flopping" and solid sustain. A 5-piece maple and walnut neck, maple top and back plus mahogany body, 18-volt active Vari-Mid preamp, Bartolini pickups and a Monorail 2 (MR-II) bridge deliver the rich tones without interference from other strings.
