JB-40FL 3-Tone Sunburst : Very good indeed

I have three Harley Benton bass guitars and this is the best of those three. I also have six other bass's and play in a band and know a good bass when I see one. This bass is very good. It sounds as good as any of my other bass's (open string comparison). The build quality is almost as good as any of my other bass's and much better than the other two Harley Benton's. It is hard to fault. So to be very picky, The tuners are obviously cheep and look it, "but they work fine". The body grain direction does not line up with the neck and looks wrong or odd. And that's it. Everything else is all good and happy to take it on stage.

Being fretless helps avoid many problems but the neck on this one is very near perfect. The neck joint is better than my high end bass. The body finish is very good (apart from the grain direction). I have fitted a pick guard and that helps and looks better anyway in my view. Pickups are quite good but a little bit of noise apparent but not too bad. One happy bass player.
