JB-75MN SB Vintage Series : A nice bass well worth the money

The problem with all bass's and guitars is to get something 10% better, you need to spend 100% more. So The Harley Benton range is always going to be great for the money.

Having done a sound comparison test with all 9 of my bass guitars, I can say that there is little difference between this and my most expensive £650 bass. There is a difference in build quality but considering the low cost of this bass, the components are very good and well finished. I now own 3 Harley Benton bass's and very pleased with all 3. The main thing I have noticed is a bit of inconsistency which you might not get with the more expensive brand names, so be prepared for some minor adjustments and differences between models. On this occasion, the neck is very slightly out of line and also requires shimming as the bridge saddles are very high. The other 2 Harley's were spot on. The fret ends need a file but that is to be expected. Otherwise, this bass looks and plays above it's price tag. The fittings used are reasonable quality. It's very heavy so a wide strap is recommended.
