Ibanez SR305EB-WK Weathered Black 5-string Bassguitar

In conclusion, for the money, it's well worth it if you want a lightweight five-string bass guitar for modern rock/metal music. A separate boost/cut potentiometer for the low and mid-high frequencies, a volume and a pickup balancer can be used on the top row to adjust the ratio of the neck and bridge pickups, and the power tap switch gives you even more gain. The resistance of the potentiometers is pleasantly heavy, you won't accidentally twist them, the pot caps are hatched metal surfaces, nice to touch. For modern music, you can mix anything out of it if you want a "hi-fi" sound. The pickups are not noisy, the tuning keys and tailpiece are well made, the fingerboard is comfortable to the touch, and the D neck profile is very pleasant. The deepest string does not rattle, its voice does not get choked. My copy weighs 3.6 kilos, and I can practice standing with it for three hours. Due to the "hidden" jack connector, you cannot just plug in a straight cable, it is worth paying attention to this.
