I settled for the SR306 and am very pleased by the instruments playability and overall ergonomics. An excellent choice and astonishing quality for the lowest tier SR bass. Thanks to everyone for their contributions in this thread!

I am sorry to have confused you with my attempt to write something interesting. Please be patient with me, as English is not my first language (it's not even not my second). Would "fat-string aficionado" burry the misleading ambiguity? Also I sincerely didn't want to body-shame someone in this...

Nashrakh, does the SR306 have neck dive issues?

Due to limited time I have not tried either. From whatI heard online I seem to like the SR better, but I have no hands-on experience

I have played 34" and 35" models and enjoyed both. Yes the BTB is bolt on and about 20 years old!

Highly respected fat string aficionados! I wanted to give a six string bass guitar a shot and there are 2 used 6ers in my area (within 60 miles each). An Ibanez SR 306 and an Ibanez BTB 406QM. I am caught between a rock and a hard place here. Maybe some of you can give me some insights on the...

After 10 months of waiting my resolites g Gotoh arrived. Fitted well in the old bushings. Solved most of the head dive....

The title basically says it all: I have a TMB505, in which I want o swap the bridge PU for a Nordy Big Split. The original Nordy split is 3mm wider (and 5 mm shorter) than its Ibanez CND counter part (why did they do that???). The body wood is Okoume which is painted. What is the best DIY...

The 14mm machines are lighter both in Hipshot and Gotoh models and they are available in Germany without problems.

Geogio, thanks for you elobrate writings and sharing your experience with me. Just a minor remark, the TMB weighs at 4,65 kg, so I am hesistant to add more weigh on the strap. I think I will go with the hipshots or Gotoh tuners first. In rough calculation changing tuners will save me 150 -200g...

Hello my immensly helpfull friends! I have acquired a talman TMB 505 which blew a away (sound, neck, tone options). However, it is moderately neck heavy and I wanted to tackle this flaw. The lightest tuners commonly available in Germany (Hipshots, Gotohs) both require 14mm holes. The Talman...

Thanks for your advice! 500 k pots would make all possible pickup combinations brighter and not just the soloed ones, right? Keep in mind that the Talman uses concentric pots...

Thanks. The drop in volume is not so strong. My "Problem" is that the soloed pups seem to have less treble. The mid scoop is there when I mix pups as expected.

I have a new Ibby TMB 505. Quite impressed with the quality and playability of the bass. Slightly neck-heavy so I might consider lighter tuners (anyone tried the OEM Hipshot lightweight tuners made in Korea?). I have a question. I am a bit confused: when using only one pickup (P or J) the sound...

My TMB 505 arrived today. Quite impressed with the quality and playability of the bass. Slightly neck-heavy so I might consider lighter tuners (anyone tried the OEM Hipshot lightweight tuners made in Korea?). I have another question. I am a bit confused: when using only one pickup (P or J)...
