PJ-75 VW Vintage Series : Excellent, Inexpensive Five-String

Players in the U.S. aren't very familiar with Harley Benton products. I learned about them from an online bass forum. I was looking for an inexpensive 5-string P/J to leave at the rehearsal space. Being unfamiliar with HB, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this. I was just looking for something that would stay in tune and not hurt my hands. Granted I set the bar low, but this PJ-75 far exceeded my expectations. The fit and finish was quite good, but the sound was just great. This bass punches far above its weight class and is now my go-to bass on gigs requiring a 5-string. Comparatively speaking, I'd put this bass in the same quality category as the Squier CV line or the MIM Fender lines, but without the same price tag.
