Pros/Cons on the Ibanez sr306eb?

"Ibanez SR306EB 6-String Electric Bass Guitar Weathered Black"

I'm having extreme GAS symptoms on this bass for a while now. So I'm looking for any thoughts you may have about this particular bass. I owned a SR406BCW a couple of years ago so it's not my first six string bass, i know string space is different than any 4 or 5. One of the reasons I like about this model is it has 24 frets too. On the SR406BCW I remember the neck was very thin, with very low action. Had to learn to deal with dual truss rods! (First do the low side, then the other)
Now this sr306eb has a pickup switch. Not sure what it does but I guess it might give a wider range of tones.
Below is the SR406BCW, sold for financial reasons besides the not so attractive finish on it, IMHO.
Any info will be appreciated. TIA

I found a sweet deal for a used SR306 (it was practically like new). Paid something like $300. But even at $450 (Sweetwater's price) it's a bargain, IMO. Apart from the stock tuners, which were functional but obviously budget tuners, I can find almost nothing to complain about. The outer strings have a sideways angle from the nut, I think it would be better (both visually and functionally) if the headstock was a little wider and all strings went in a straight line from the nut to the tuner. But this is really nit picking at this price point. I upgraded the tuners to Gotoh GB707 - a drop in replacement and definitely a worthwhile upgrade. The stock preamp and pickups sound great to me, so I will not bother doing anything with these. In short, an extremely impressive 6 string bass at a bargain price!

Pickup toggle is for instant slap tone heaven once scooped eq is set.
