MB-5 SB Deluxe Series : Incredible!

I play on this bass more than three months and I can say definitely - this is a really good bass.

I received the package in ten days / I live in the Canary Islands /

What a pleasant surprise, the bass was even tuned. I immediately changed the strings and I went to my friend who have 80's "Ibanez Musician".

Tested the both instruments with different amplifiers, recorded several slices directly without compression or EQ and then compared the records.

Of course Ibanez has a pure balanced sound, though the price is about 10x. But what surprised me "Harley Bentone" enter more easily into the mix :-o

A few days later we played live in a small club /150 persons/ Many of you probably will not agree with me, but there I felt the same "Ibanez" jutted somehow insolently and I wasn't happy at all.

I have a similar experience with a very expensive keyboards. / I'm a producer, also playing live keyboards and bass, sometimes guitar /

For those who think that a good instrument must be expensive one, I would say - it depends.

The expensive instruments requiring high-quality recording studio or a big stage very good sound engineers.

If you're a bassist who plays in a bar, hotel, a festival and use midrange devices - "Harley Bentone" is a bass for you. You will not find better, even for more money.

Highly recommend. Thank you Tomann.
