MB-5 SB Deluxe Series : Awesome Bass!

I was torn between the two different options you offer of this style. This one and the MM-85A. Not a huge fan of passive basses nor the 2 vol 1 tone set up. However, I didn't like that the headstock didn't match on the MM 85. These were the deciding factors in my choice.

Upon arrival, had to file most of the frets. They weren't too bad, but still was necessary before playing(hence the 4 stars for features). But once I plugged her in...WOW! Totally blown away by the sound! Crispy highs. I slap often, so definitely a must. Felt the lows in my chest and that was with the volume on my amp below 5. I have a Sterling Sub 5, which I also love, but it's EQ set up is a bit aggressive at times.

This bass is just as good or better (sub 5 is active). More than satisfied. Will be purchasing more Harley Benton basses from Thormann in the very near future. Gotta figure out how, without upsetting the Mrs! 😆
