Ibanez SR305EB-WK 5-stars Reviews

Awesome for the price

I bought this for fun to try after 13 years of playing only 4 strings. Is it the best bass ever, probably not. Is it really good for the money, absolutely!

I've had way more expensive basses with lower quality control and set up out of the box. The frets were nice and the setup playable.

Recommended to anyone who's just getting into 5 strings and wants to try out.

Pretty good bass not only for beginner

Very stylish appearance and versatile sound parameters. Lightweight and ergonomic. Definitely costs its price.

Great Bass

Not just great for the price, absolutely beyond my expectations.

Great Bass

I always wanted a 5-string bass and this one does everything I wanted.

My review

Amazing sound, the tones are awesome, I like to play a heavy dark tone and this bass allows that to perfection.

The fretboard feels smooth and allows for a quick hand movement.

All in all, really great.

This'll get you there.

No faults to be found. Well over a year of ownership and still not a single problem. It'll do anything you want, great if you have an eclectic style or a bedroom jammer.

Totally satisfied

For the price this instrument is amazing. You can't expect the handmade quality and beauty you get from expensive or exotic instruments of course. Very versatile sound due to the active 3-way eq, pickup balance and preamp options switch. I bought this as my first 5 string bass and I'm very pleased with it. Everything is there to set it up to your playing style, it's surprisingly light and pretty easy to play. I wouldn't think of buying an Ibanez when I first started researching considering my play styles (blues-funk), I will put the brand high on my list when I go for my next instrument. Make sure you also buy a set of strings because the ones that came with it is pretty off-putting combined with the poor set-up which I wouldn't say was done if the factory didn't state so. I also don't like the plug placement which kinda forbids you from using angled or thick jacks.

Would recommend to a friend.

Astounding

The 3-band EQ is the most astonishing feature here. It actually gives you access to any bass timbre you have ever thought of. The series-parallel switch DOES make a difference and the volume of the pickups on the B string is simple phenomenal. While this bass is obviously manufactured for metal it's actually more-than-good for anything you can think of. The 16.5mm string spacing is totally subjective but it does limit the slapping possibilities a tiny bit. Overall, a great, very comfortable bass, with fantastic capabilities and sound colours.
