Ibanez RGB300 - Does this vintage rocker have a place in 2020? Let's find out!- LowEndLobster Review

Looking to snag one of these basses? Use my Reverb affiliate link!- reverb.grsm.io/lowendlobster
Hey everyone! Today we're reviewing the Ibanez RGB300. Ibanez barely made a peep when they announced this bass earlier in 2020 before quietly launching it in September. The RGB300 is styled after the EX series basses of the late 80's and early 90's. Does this vintage rocker have a place in the bass world of 2020? Let's find out!
The strings used on this bass and most of my other basses with roundwounds are MJC Ironworks Nickel Plated Stainless Steel 45-105 (or 130 for 5 strings). Find out more at www.mjcironworks.com

I waited long for a review of this one. I love the looks so much, that it is a candidate for 2021.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you!

[@brooksonly7337]

Glad to see this design back. I remember them well. They just need to beef it up like they were in the day. Anything to dump that soundgear design! Its been played out.

Thanks Brooks! Yeah I like that they're stepping out of the box here. Waiting on one last EMG part before the swap is complete (it's mostly done). Follow up vid will be coming :)

[@vectorhold6489]

I owned an RGB back in the mid 90's when I was playing with a band that did Mr Bungle cover, Frank Zappa covers and some originals. I had the 5 string version. Was my first 5 string. I started incorporating that low B into the cover tunes. Would always get compliments after shows and had great conversations with people about music. I want to buy this new reissue

[@hephaestusofficial]

I waited for a review of this bass ever since I saw the first listing on Reverb. Amazing review, thank you very much! To be honest I expectedthe imperfections on the electronics etc, my 2014 SR300 had pretty much the same issues plus poor bridge quality with the saddles unscrewing by themselves etc. I see this bass more like a modding platform since it's looks are 80's AF, so a new bridge, keys, pickups and pre and you're good to go. Although I'd like to see higher end models on this line and (if anyone by Ibanez happens to see this) PLEASE BRING BACK THE IBANEZ SB900 AND SB1200 BASSES. Thank you!

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you! I hope that the EMGs will make this sound the part

[@ryanwarsh]

It will be interesting to see if they come out with a more expensive model with better electronics. I’ve been looking to get back to a 4-string (I currently have two 5-strings) and while this one looks badass, the price definitely reflects the quality.

[@oddmanoutlv1]

I have a RD 828 LE from 1989 it has the Sharktooth inlays. It has EMG X pickups it is one of my favorite basses to play! Disappointed in the “entry level” status of this bass. Still considering picking one up and putting in some EMGs or Bartolini’s. I am enjoying your reviews. I just found you. Go Lobster!

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Bassist LV! Welcome :)

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you my friend :)

[@alexskibicki2262]

I think this is a pretty cool looking bass. Even though it resembles that of an Ibanez ex bass, it does remind me of a peavey millennium bass. I would agree that the electronics could of been better. The neck pickup sounds awesome. I would like to see a 5-string version of this bass. And I am looking forward to seeing your updated video on this bass with emg pickups. Pretty cool review.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Alex! I was on the fence about the 5'er but it only came in black (and I don't think there's a 5 string geezer set). I swapped in the Geezers yesterday, waiting for one more bit before doing my full follow up :)

[@alexskibicki2262]

@@LowEndLobster I've actually saw the 5-string version and I think it looks pretty cool. I don't mind the black finish, but would like to see it in electric blue. and no there isn't a 5-string version of emg geezers, but there are plenty of 5-string pj pickups like from bartolini and nordstrand. anywho, I think it's a pretty cool looking bass and if the 5-string version is ever released, I might get one. otherwise my 2nd choice would definitely be the Ibanez sr305e.

[@Jitobass]

Well, I like the aggressive tone of the pickups of this bass :D

[@LowEndLobster]

[@vladstanescu4598]

Bought mine today, it kicks ass for Metal

[@Griefhand]

Thanks for the really good review. I'm hesitating between this one and a sire V3 to play in a very heavy shoegaze band. I've got a spectradrive so I would probably be able to dial back a bit of low end I think.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you! The V3 is a much more "well rounded" instrument in terms of tonal versatility. HOWEVER, I just swapped the guts in the RGB out for a Geezer Butler EMG setup w/ a 2 band EMG EQ (and passive tone control!).... You'll see in the upcoming vid, but that setup is how these should have come from the factory!

[@youwish3575]

I had one of the EX series basses. It was an impeccably built beast of an instrument. Ibanez would do well to take your advice and make it passive like the originals. They’d also be better served by going back to a basswood body because poplar is trash.

[@alacajun007]

It's actually a repro of the RD 727. A buddy of mine had one in silver back in the day...

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you! I was having trouble finding the model number and info, but found the EX. I'll update the info on the next vid post pickup swap.

[@gtgodbear6320]

I knew nothing about playing bass guitar but me & my cousins would rock the house. I just tried to play a rhythm and match his frets. For not knowing anything about instruments we've made some pretty good music with me just improvising. I wish I would have got a copy of some of our cassette tapes we made. Especially the one that I could replicate perfectly every time we played it. I used an Ibanez.

[@basshoh]

[@LowEndLobster]

[@cctn2012]

It sounds pretty good imo looks nice. I am a passive pu player though.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks! Yep, this thing should have been passive IMO. It will be with my upcoming mods :)

[@sal8964]

I own an Ibanez EXB404, the Budget Korean produced line of EX basses from the early 90's. Snapped it for like 160 bucks and is my favorite bass out of my Squire J, Yamaha TRBX305, Jackson CBX IV, and Takamine Acoustic Bass. Its nice to see they've remade these basses in an updated fashion with inlays and an outline around the headstock! I'm disappointed that this has a pre-amp, because the instrument as a passive bass really shines with a solid balanced tone between Funky and Metallic. The tone sounds similar to 90's Cannibal Corpses bass, which honestly fucking rocks especially with a pick in the mix. The slap tone is also easily my fave Funnily enough... The Jazz pick up is also plenty noisey in my EXB404, but only when the bass is angled and not parallel with the ground..? Must be an internal hardware issue though, otherwise get one if you are ever presented with the chance.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks R S! Great comment! Yeah it's kind of a shame that they weren't more true to the originals electronics wise. I'm happy how the mod came out with the Geezers and the BTC preamp from EMG though!

At @3:33 the cat was seriously bringin' the bass to fall down to the ground ahahahah! Hands down for you my friend, you've made a review of one of the most interesting (but surprisingly not very advertised by Ibanez) bass models of the 2020 line-up. Until two days ago, I've had a Talman TMB30-BK by Ibanez, same pickups but shorts scale and completely passive. The model of your review seems like it hasn't the same issue of the TMB: the J pickup was sounding at a veeeery low volume compared to the P pickup. The Dynamyx P sounds hot, way too hot....but the main reason why I decided to make an exchange through i it was its tone in a mix. I used it in three songs, and in all songs I was forced to completely re-equalize the whole thing to let the bass fit naturally into a song. So my answer was...NO. These pickups are...a trick! They sound good alone, but in a mix they completely SUCK....they're a metal-like sounding kind of pickups, but of the worst category! :-( I've sent it back to the shop where it was purchased to change it for a Squier Sffinity P-J and...man, I'm speechless! Very nice finishes for its cheap price (that's a really surprising thing :O), really nice and clear sound, good quality tuners and bridge. ....that's a chinese Affinity man....and it sounds and plays very good! I've re-recorded the bass lines on these famous three songs, and now the bass fits naturally into a song with just...the bass itself, no specific EQs needed! A Squier Affinity man....seriously, I can't believe that: it was purchased as a modding platform but now I wanna keep it stock as it is. Or, at least, I wanna just improve only the things that really matter on it. Joe

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks for the excellent comment! I should give the Affinity series a look soon :) I didn't realize that the Dynamix pickups were in the Talmans too... I can't believe that the electronics are similar to that of a talman that's nearly half the price. Jeez Ibanez hahaha

[@joecasa85]

​@@LowEndLobster and thanks to you for your excellent channel, as first thing. Seriously man, same pickups. In fact, I felt very disappointed when I noticed that they were equipped also on this "new" (old) series of bass. About the Squier...I don't know, maybe my case has been just luck, I don't know honestly but, if you can, give it a try. At least just to confirm or deny this option ahahahah! :P Joe

[@sknuts6429]

Not really into basses like this usually but I dig it in this finish

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks! Yeah the blue is the finish to go for here. Matte black would make it look a little generic.

[@amo868]

[@LowEndLobster]

Swap is already done, waiting for final component :)

[@yojon1212]

I have a 1989 Ibanez RD 727 with Sharktooth inlays & binding on the neck & headstock. I replaced the bridge with a newer AccuCast and put EMG-X pj pu’s in.

[@downsouthgeorgiaboy7660]

I think I need one of these basses. I love the aesthetic of it so much! I think that my Boss gt1b can probably tame the preamp on this bass. I can’t find it anywhere but Thomann. I’m hoping that it will come to Sweetwater or Zzounds soon. I know that it’s nowhere near the sound quality of my Fender Tony Franklin fretless but, this would be a very good bass to mod. I’m thinking maybe an Aguilar pj set and possibly a Darkglass preamp

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you! Now there's an idea :)

[@downsouthgeorgiaboy7660]

@@LowEndLobster this bass is definitely not beyond hope in my opinion. I’m thinking for the amount of money that this costs, it can be easily modded to punch way above its pay grade. I really love that it has the shark-tooth inlays and harkens back to the EX series of the early 90’s. I think that maybe if they make a model with a maple fretboard and abalone oval inlays with a flame maple veneer on the top it would be even better looking

[@maibanez]

i really like the electronics of the tmb100, is hot but with a compressor and a sansamp is a horsework... and i dig that oldstyle body and neck, but pay 100 more just for the design... i agree with you

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks MA Ibanez :)

[@honkytonkinson9787]

Your cat clearly approves, and I’ve been looking for a PJ bass. Maybe one of these will be in my future. Although, I hope it feels better than it sounds. I was kinda disappointed by the TMB review too. The sounds just don’t do it for me like I was expecting

[@LowEndLobster]

I'm waiting on one last bit, then going to do a revisit on this bass with new guts :) (EMG Geezer Butler). Stay tuned my friend!

[@rafafontanez6961]

Two weeks ago I bought a 1990 EX Series Korea on ebay for $125 the electronics were shot said the listing but I bought it because it I noticed from the pictures that has some old DiMarzio pickups on it. I installed 300k Gibson's pots volume, volume and tone with an orange drop cap. Now I'm waiting for a Gotoh MIJ high mass bridge that I got for $25 on ebay. It sounds so good that I haven't played any of my other basses since I fix it.

Great demo THANKS!

[@peter2712771]

I miss my old 5 string ibanez. It was made in Japan from the late 90's. I can't remember what model it was. It just felt right in my hands. Still pissed 20+ years later that I had to get rid of it a few months after I bought it 😂😭🤣

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Peter! I hate when that happens haha, the one that got away

[@martinheath5947]

Headstock is perfect for when a band mate becomes annoying 😊 That preamp hiss/ noise could be a major problem with stage lights etc If the neck and overall feel is good I might be tempted to rip out the electronics and go passive

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Martin! I agree, hopefully the passive setup I'm going to toss in here will do the trick :)

[@jeffstong8943]

Reminds me of my old RD707 tangerine - except that bass had dot inlays and 3 knobs.

[@bernardi5919]

Maybe a preamp replacement is in order... Seymour Duncan makes a 2-band for $60. Or perhaps you could change the wiring for a dual volume/dual tone. Either one could make for an excellent revisit video! I've been looking for a bass like this recently and this video may have convinced me either way.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you Bernard :). Going to be going passive VTVT with a set of Geezer Butler EMGs!

[@mrmufasio]

Check inside for an internal trimpot..maybe you can lower the preamp gain.i had an ATK 300 where lowered the gain for the preamp and it was much better after.

[@LowEndLobster]

Hey Julian! Just opened her up, no trim pot like with the ATK preamp :(.

[@gabormeszaros2435]

If you want to go passive what do you think about installing a Bill Lawrence bass filter next to a normal passive tone control with a switching option between the two?

[@LowEndLobster]

I'll look into that! Thank you!

[@michaelblaney4461]

Hey Low End Lobster I'll interested to see how the EMG set sound with that bass. I've got a EX series 5 string in dark metallic red . its neck is normally got to flat of a fingerboard radius for me , but is comfortable to play and I haven't had to adjust the neck in 30 yrs. I was thinking for a new 5 string J bass set for it as the stock pickups seem a little weak .

[@LowEndLobster]

Hey Michael! I just shot that video yesterday, should be up later this week.... EMGs are a HUGE improvement. The config I went with is slightly different than what I said I was doing here... you'll see... but the result is AWESOME.

[@michaelblaney4461]

I wonder how this bass compares side by side with an EX or RD series bass. Also what would be a good alternative to this bass? Something similar in looks and sound, and with a similar price, but is overall better?

[@LowEndLobster]

Great question Doomguy. The stock pickup config can be had in the TMB100 which is around $200 brand new but looks different. I'm not sure if you're going to find anything with similar looks in this price range.

The weak point of P-J configuration; noise of the rear pickup. Other than that, it is a good bass in general.

I'd want better inlays,more color options, better pickups,a nice high mass bridge. I do like the headstock. The Ibanez website doesn't say if it's got graphite rods or not.

Pickups aren’t hot. More so the preamp. If you rip the preamp out on those Basses the pickups aren’t bad by themselves. It’s only a matter of finding which onboard preamp will suit the sound of the player

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Dragon! The preamp boosts things up to 16 dB, which is pretty powerful for a preamp, I'd think that the pickups are better suited for a passive application as you said. These pickups are a bit spicy though.
