In fact, the experience of playing the SR305E is much like that of Ibanez's higher-end SR Series models, thanks to the SR305E's sleek 5-piece maple/rosewood neck and comfortable mahogany arched body. A pair of Ibanez PowerSpan humbucking pickups packs a phenomenal punch, while a 3-band EQ with Power Tap creates a vast array of sound-shaping possibilities. When budding bass players are looking for a quality instrument, many Sweetwater Sales Engineers place the Ibanez SR305E electric bass at the top of their list.Ibanez Standard SR305E 5-string Bass Guitar Features: Value-packed electric bass, with a comfortable feel that's great for beginners 5-piece maple/rosewood neck is extra strong to add sustain and resist warping over the years Dual humbucking pickups with 3-band EQ and

I bought this bass to be awesome, and that's what I was for about a year until I sold it for what I bought it for (not sure if it's because they hold their value, or if the awesome that rubbed off onto me from the bass affected my salesmanship.) Playabilitywise, this bass had some decently workable action, I could really SLAP this bass. For that, I will SLAP the 5 stars on this review.Approved

Everything came fine besides the pickups. The pickup was loose and was not bolted down to the bass. It came stripped and the pickups had wood scraps on them. And shipping to return was really expensive. Would not order again though.

This is my second SDGR Bass and they both play great. I ordered this to track in lower tunings with my 7 string guitar because I wanted to tune low without filing the nut and making the stings loose. The D'addario XL strings it ships with sound great in drop or standard A flat. The pickups sound fat, with lots of clarity in all positions. The pots and switch are an easy way to dial in your sound (the pickups stay in phase with all settings). Intonation was easy to set up, tuning stability is reliable and the action can be set fairly low before any string buzz. I ordered the Siverburst finish which makes the lighter fretboard stain stand out. The body contour feels great when recording during long sessions. So far this looks like the last bass I'll be buying for my studio which is definitely a good thing.

I've played bass for over 20 years and this is my first 5 string bass. The bass feels and plays great just what you come to expect from Ibanez. The pre-amp is a nice plus in combination with the great pickups on this bass. If you're a pro or a beginner for the price you cannot go wrong.
