Enhanced MP-5EB Lake Blue : A lot of bass for the money

3 years ago

Ok - so I'm a Fender p-bass man and currently own a pair of Deluxe series I'm for the most part happy about. When I went exploring for a 5-string bass this item caught my attention. At the price point I honestly wasn't expecting much, but seeing reviews giving it praise I had hopes for a decent instrument.

What I recieved by far surpassed my expectations. Nice finish, tons of adjustability, far more features than'd be expected at this price point. The only flaws I could find were the angle of the neck on the body (I found it had a slight forward slant) and rough frets.

Once plugged inn I found it a bit loud compared to my other P-basses, which mainly makes it a pain swithcing between basses. The tone it delivers...well, it depends. It delivers tons of adjustability with the three tone knobs and the pick-up splitter to pretty much leave anyone satisfied.

My drummer prefers me using the Harley Benton over any of my two p-basses as he feels it's more defined and delivers a tighter punch.
