Edvin Persson Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 What bass should I buy? The Ibanez SR375E or the Ibanez SR305EB? The SR375E is around 100 dollars more expensive but both have very similar specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivem Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) I was going to point out that the 305 has a Mahogany body, and the 375 is maple. The maple gives a "snappier" sound, the mahogany more warmth and sustain, IMHO, having owned both. But, and it's a big BUT, it seems that the 2019 spec 305 has a Nyatoh body. I've never even heard of this type of wood, so I've no idea....... EDIT: Oh and the maple bodied 375's typically weighed at least 1lb more than the mahogany bodied 305's, if that's important to you.

therealting Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 @clivem I think nyatoh is indigenous to South East Asia, I remember hearing about it when living in Malaysia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, after a tiny bit of research, according to the wood database, the weight is similar to mahogany, maybe a little heavier. https://www.wood-database.com/nyatoh/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
