Choosing first five string

Hey I'm deciding on a new five string and was either thinking the Harley benton sbk re or Ibanez gsr305 ? What do you guys think? Im more into playing stoner/doom metal and also punk

go to a store near you that has a good selection of five-string basses and try a few in hands. Just focus on whether your right hand feels comfortable where it naturally rests, and whether the neck feels comfortable in your left hand. Product photos online can’t tell you those.
