SR306EB-WK : Awesome first six string bass

2 years ago

I'm living with this bass for three months now, and let me tell ya, it is a solid instrument for anyone who wants to start using the six string bass. It looks massive but is incredibly light. It is very well built, the fit and finish is great. It is a dual truss rod neck, so it can be tricky to set up yourself, not Rickenbacker tricky, but you need to be careful nonetheless. Set it up to your liking, and it will be a joy to play. Mine didn't need extensive work, just lowered the action and adjusted the neck. Electronics are reasonably good. there is no need to recite the spec sheet...it does what it says on the box. They are active electronics, so they offer a bunch of tonal shaping possibilities. Overall, it is a solid instrument for anyone who wants to start using a six string bass and doesn't want to shell out four figures for an instrument. It is by all means not for a beginner who never played bass before. I do own a 4 and a 5. The transition from one to other wasn't a big deal, but a 6 takes some getting used to. Definitely recommended!
