With the most comfortable, slim, 5-string neck you can find, the SR305 is the ideal way for 4-string bass players to make the transition to the expanded range, and new styles of the 5-string bass. This is a great bass for pros to have as a backup, too. Its DX5 pickups deliver a full range sound that's great for any style of music. The electronics consist of an advanced Phat Boost system with Volume, Balance, Phat EQ, and Tone controls. Other features include a 3-piece Maple neck, 24-fret Rosewood fingerboard and chrome hardware.
