SR305EB-WK : Solid bass for the price

Bought it as first bass. For the price the perfomance quality is pretty good, no scratches, fine tuners, convenient neck, light weight. But there's something that I wasn't expecting before the byuing:

1. Weight is light but the neck is heavier than the body, so the neck is constantly ducking.

2. Besides the ducking, the fulcrum of the guitar on the foot is tiny, and in spite of light weight, it presses on the leg at one narrow point. I personally experience some pain on my foot because of it, especially when long playing. It would be better if the lower horn of the guitar body was wider and bigger. Then the guitar wieght would be spread evenly across the foot.

3. Scratches on the body appeared very fast after some playing. The black paint lies in a very thin layer and the paint is peeling off when a pick or nail hits it. So after some slapping you may find out a lot of scratches on the body. I'm really dissapointed with the paint, it makes the guitar a cheap work horse. Cheaper than it is.

4. Very noizy pickups in single mode. But maybe it's normal.

In general sound is fine, but I can't compare it to others because this is the only bass I have. Regarding pickup selector and features - it's too much I guess. I don't use 90% of the modes.
