JB-75MN Black Vintage Series : Good but too HEAVY

6 years ago

I also have a Harley Benton PJ 75 de luxe that I like a lot better. The JB 75 is a good instrument for €139,=. Sounds good and plays good. But it is HEAVY. Too heavy for me. I'm sending it back.

The specs are OK, decent hardware and electronics. Build quality is not that good. This thing just weighs too much. Playing sitting and standing is not comfortable. There were also minor scratches visible in the paint, this is not a problem to me.

Neck is not too thin but I like a bigger neck better.

Sound is OK but lacks that JazzBass bridge pickupg growl. Still ok for €139,=

I like my PJ 75 a lot better. Fuller sound and better playing.
