Harley Benton PJ-5 SBK Deluxe Series 5-stars Reviews

Great bass for the money. Sounds good, stays in tune, and feels decent. My only issue with it is the major neck dive, but that's kind of to be expected at this price point.

Once you do a proper setup this bass will astonish you!

Received the bass from Germany in 4 days. It actually beat my Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings ordered off Amazon by 2 days despite the promise that the strings would be here next day. Finish is amazing, no flaws whatsoever. Neck and intonation were set properly from the factory. Action was way to high and I brought it down several millimeters. Strings that were installed at the factory were awful. B string was completely dead. I didn't panic because I knew I had to re-string and do a proper setup. After spending about an hour on the restring and half an hour on the setup the bass sounds amazing. So, how does it sound you ask? It has a great growl on the bridge pickup that is present across the basses capable range. This growl really cuts through the mix. The neck pickup is very full and round providing that P-bass tone that sound engineers crave. You have a volume control for each pickup so you can mix them to your individual taste. The single tone control provides a broad range that will allow you to dial in the EQ just how you like! Overall this bass is an Astounding value for $136 US. Purchase one of these, you won't regret it!

Lovey bass

Love the bass, upgrades from a 4 string. It took a while to set up the neck as it was out of alignment slightly but I was expecting it needed some setting up. I love the Matt finish, just don't eat anything oily before and forget to wash your hands, the Matt finish shows up fingerprints if your hands are a bit oily lol.

Beyond incredible

Since it's a 5-string bass, it was tricky to get used to it at first but then, the machine itself bewitches. The tone is amazing, strings are high quality. The only problem was that after 20th fret, the strings touch to the magnetics. It's probably because of the bridge calibration. Overall, the guitar is amazing!!

Good Bass, Impressive with the sound.

I'm impressed by the quality of the bass sound. I would highly recommend it to both beginners and advanced bass players.

Great for the price

Great bass for the price. Factory tuned very well and can be set to quite low action without the fuzz.

Asombrado!

Perfect value for money

Bought this bass guitar for recordings and giggs. It comes perfect out of the box

Pros:

- Amazing design and quality for money

- Good sound (I use only the P pickup)

- Frets come in good condition

Cons:

Didn't find any

Perfect introduction to 5 string bass!

My first 5 string and I couldn't be happier!

Set up was fine out of the box, no sharp fret edges or anything. Action is good and the neck smooth and accessible up to the highest fret. The P pickup purrs but has some bite if needed and J adds more clarity if you want it.

Build quality is very good and the finish is perfect. The B string is pretty solid, certainly good enough for gigging.

All in all I'm delighted with my first 5 string.

Amazing bass

This 5 string bass is the best bass for beginners everything is amazing about it apart from the slight fret rattle that can be fixed easily with the included Alan key
