Just goes to show there's not really much difference between a £120 bass and one that costs £3000. The Best demonstration on TH-cam so far in terms of what is possible on a Harley Benton Jazz Bass
It's not only about the bass. There are the cables, the amp, the audio interface, the mics, the post effects and the audio encoder. And next your audio system. 100 or 10000 dollars bass with a bad cable/amp will sound the same.
I have two Harley Benton basses (the five string Stingray copy and a fretless Jazz Bass) and they sound as good as any bass I've heard. The Jazz Bass especially plays phenomenally and is virtually perfect. The days of thinking you need to spend $2000 to have a "real" instrument are kinda over
i have a P bass harley benton and some other more expansive basses: musicman stingray 5, gibson eb3 1972, fender jazz CS '64 and got handed a 1972 precision bass for a lot of time. HB is pretty good for the buck but cant be compared to the other basses (isn't something about the pick ups). I spent a lot of money in basses, I'd be happy if the price couldn't affect the quality
I bought this bass too, but that black one. It really is an awesome sounding bass. And when you consider the price... well that just seals the deal. My other two basses are in the upper-mid range pricewise and honestly the HB sounds way better. As a first impression of Harley Benton this is excellent.
I just got that exact bass and let me tell you it's fuckin astounding. It's without question, on par with any American Fender or high end bass out there. I really can't say a lot for the pickups only because I don't have an ear for bass pickups like I do guitar but the bass itself is absolutely incredible.
Nice! Sounds very funky! I like this neck. I have a Harley Benton too and made some videos on my channel. But your bass sound much better!!!! Nice skills!
Like the other comments, I have to admit that tone is amazing! I casually clicked on this vid and had to do a double take when you started playing, I swore that bass was modified or you did post processing
Hi bro fantastic tone if I didn't see what you were playing I would be sure it was a Ash body with a maple fretboard, did you change out the pickups from stock,or is everything as you bought it....tone is Awesome 😁
I've one of these. No need to modify anything, they are excellent. They fret edges may require filing . That takes about 10 minutes. If you want to spend 6 or 7 hundred euro to save that time feel free. A beautiful bass.
@@henryod65 i am quite impressed about sound quality. Never tryied on my hands so i don't Know about feeling or quality construction/tuners...maybe It could be my second bass or a bass to.travel. i own a jazz bass since 20 years never had isssues Will never change It . Just looking at my travel bass or second bass. Thanks for tips

Wellness for body, wellness for soul :)
Friend, thanks for your review for the Harley Benton JB-75. This Bass Guitar sounds very good. You play very cool! Thanks!
Sounding great!!
Nice tone and good flow brother, original pick ups?
Thanks, it had the original pu’s
Wow, really good to know colleague 🙂@@ivanrepasi7179
Like the other comments, I have to admit that tone is amazing! I casually clicked on this vid and had to do a double take when you started playing, I swore that bass was modified or you did post processing
How can I be sure that is in the morning?
I dont know but its funky, for sure! 😅

Awesome playing and the bass sounds killer! Where can I buy that ramp between the pickups? Or is it self
made?
Thanks! The ramp was made by myself. I’am not a luthier, but it does the job😁
@@ivanrepasi7179 Thanks a lot for your answer. Did you made it by wood?
Very funky. Nice. Foam in between the pick- ups?
It's a thumb rest between pickups.
@@johndelong9230 thx. I had never seen such a thumb rest. Home made?
JB-75?
What FX chain do you have on this recording? Sounds great btw!
Nothing. The guitar connected into a TC BH250, the DI out went through a Behringer mixer to the PC. That's all. Thanks for your comment!
@@ivanrepasi7179 That's crazy. I thought there was EQ-ing and compression going on. Thank you for answering, awesome playing!
did you modify the instrument? did you change pick up or preamp? did you add some boost like eq or compression to the video? thanks
No, I haven’t modified anything on it, and there was no eq any post processing. Only turned down the tone pot to appr. 25%

Is there any finish on the finger board?
I have already sold this bass, but it has a natural fretboard without any lacquer.
You added a pickup to the middle?
Yes, and turned down the tone to appr. 25%.
Pickup roswell?
Yes, it has the original pickups.
