Feature:
With all the tone knobs, I feel I can get that ;just right' sound. I had owned an old Ibanez TR-50 (which is an awsome bass for being a 'beginner' bass) and that thing only had 1 volume, 1 tone. So this is ALOT better.
Quality:
Well, I'm getting frett buzz, I heightened the bridge, and it took care of alot of it, but I'm still getting some through. I think after I get some different strings it should clear up. But, then again, it might have been something the previous owner screwed up.
Value:
Better than alot basses I see between $800-$1,200. For it's cost, and because it's a 5-string, you really can't find a better bass. The stock active pick-ups really are amazing for being stock. over all, unless you want to pay over a grand, get this bass!
Desirability:
I got the black model, and with all the black, and the chrome acessories, it has a real nice look. plus it's aerodynamic-like, so its sleek and smooth to the touch.
Sound:
I give it a 9 because the low B seems to not 'pick up' that clearly, but I did buy it second hand, so it might be a pick-up height adjustment. Aside from that, this has got to be one of the better sounding basses out there. Plus, active pick-ups make the difference. Not bad for stock pick-ups!
Support:
never had to deal with them.
Overall:
I don't think I will be buying any other bass, although I might buy the silver one also to keep as a back-up, alt. tuning bass.

Ibanez SR305DX 5-String Electric Bass Guitar
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.
