Would love to find the right 305E—not a fan of the EB matte finish.

Theres a black one with wood effect

Agreed but for me they suffer from the Ibanez neck design. Typically great down round the first 5 frets but by the time you get up to the 12th fret they are far too wide. I have had 5 Ibanez basses of different scales and series and they all seem to suffer from this design approach. If you have short digits like me, it’s a killer, especially on 5 strings. There is something about wide and flat that is really hard to manage. It’s probably fine if you have proper sized hands.

Interesting never thought like that before but fair point. I don't have huge hands but never really had that issue. Horses for courses I suppose.....

The 300 range has no business being such a good deal. It’s honestly incredible. I am not a huge fan of the nordies on their own, but I think I have understood that the key with them is to do some surgical cutting when needed. They are a quality product. 
 

US Barts are an acquired taste, but they record so well.

Agreed. US barts i would love to try and love the whole coffee table vibe of the 5000 range.

The aguilar super doubles i had were fantastic too.

Personally I think the powerspans pickups on the SR300 range are my favourite above the nordstrands on premium/prestige range. YMMV

Woods/hardware maybe aren't as fancy but the quality is so good.

I would love to try a high spec EHB though....

Been there....

Oof that's a great shout @lemmywinks

Anyone know where I can paint my new white SR305 TMNT slime green? 

Yes I'm a child...

SOLD

This bass is insane and I'm all for it

I have a 305, I love this with TI flats on. lightweight, quite a useful preamp and slim neck what's not to love.

A million per cent correct

Same model in action, I've had a few

Hi guys 

See below awesome basses so just got one in 5 in same colour 😀 

The white really pops, board is beautiful, super skinny necks and powerful humbuckers. Perfect 👌 

Will post well packed to UK in thomann case (I have a few spare 😆)

To be honest ihave issues with clarity on my Low B on my 35" yamaha even.

Maybe its all that 37" Dingwall and Neural DSP I've been listening to....

Such awesome basses if only every bass was like ibanez and yamaha 😆

Ibby SR300, 305, 306...

@PaulThePlug did you try this with sr300?

Would be interested in the results

That isn't the droid you're looking for 

Nice

I've heard mixed reports on the BH2 pickups but we shall see. They're on the list anyways....

Very cool

My sights ate on an EHB this year.

Merry Christmas by the way 🎅 

Oh yes to grooveline!

Lucky you got to it before I spotted (I'm in Monaghan :))

enjoy
