JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : Great if you can take the weight

4 years ago

Looks, sounds and plays great.

My only gripe is the weight. Mine is 5.4 kg which is definitely on the heavy side. With a fancy Neotech strap I can stand for max an hour before my shoulder complains.

Edit: after two years of use, I'm still loving this bass. Since I've begun gigging, I have also bought a nice lightweight Fender which was five times the price, but I still play the the Harley Benton regularly. My original plan was to sell the JB-75, but in the end I could part with it - partly because it has such a rich, growly tone that my Fender can't recreate. So I've put flats on the Fender and still have the original roundwounds on the Harley Benton which together give me a nice selection of tones.
