JB-75MN Black Vintage Series : Good bass with good specs for little money

I bought this bass about a year ago to replace an old bass I used for recording. The Harley Benton JB-75 provides relly good specs at a decent price: the bass has Wilkinson pickups and comes with D'Addario strings. The hardware is good as well, the strings stay in tune well, the machineheads work fine.

The design of the Harley Benton JB75 is based on the Fender Jazz-Bass with two Wilkinson JB-Pickups and the JB-Controlplate. And for a copy of a Fender it sounds really good, the bass provides the typical Jazz Bass sound. In the bandcontext the sound of the Harley Benton JB75 fits in perfectly. On recordings the sound gives a perfect foundation, it pushes through but not too aggressive.

To put it in a nutshell the Harley Benton has all the characterstics you can expect from a Jazz Bass-Copy at a decent price. Because of the specs of the Vintage Series, e.g. the Wilkinson PUs and the D'Addario the Harley Benton has a good price-performance ratio.
