MB-5 SB Deluxe Series : Surprisingly good for the price!

3 years ago

This was my first 5-string.

Where to start... The pickups do a really good job with the noise (if you are in humbucker config.)

The stock strings are good-quality and for this price, it is a bargain. The maple neck and fretboard feels amazing, and it is a sturdy bass. Not as heavy as you would expect it to be.

The humbucker split feature is very cool, allowing you to get a big variety of tones.

The build quality is very good, and that goes for any Harley Benton product I have, but for this bass specifically, I would say the frets could have had a little more care. Nothing a visit to your local luthier can't fix.

Definitely would recommend.
