ibanez btb 675 or sr 1205e

I love both of these basses, both are very eye appealing and they sound amazing, I can't decide which bass I want to purchase...so I would love some feedback as to which bass is the better choice.

Thanks

It depends on what kind of a neck you like on a 5-string. I prefer the SR1205E because of the neck and didn't like the BTB at all. I also liked the electronics of the SR1205E more than those on the BTB. However that is all subjective and is purely based on my playing preferences. Both are great basses....not much help I know so all I can offer is this: play them both again and let them tell you which one suits you best.

Both are very nice. The BTB's have a considerably larger body (more weight), and a thicker 35" scale neck. The SR is smaller, lighter, 34" scale with a thinner neck.

Keep playing them both until one of them claims you.
