FINALLY a green p-bass with red pickguard that isn't a multi-thousand dollar custom shop (meaning even I could afford it :D )! Might just need to get one!
You haven’t been looking very hard Sire has done the P5 in green within a tort guard and a roasted maple neck for years and it’s cheaper than this. I know what I’d be getting.
@@southpawjinx1 The sire is definitely not green. I've had the jazz bass version of the same color in it's very very turquoise and not even close to green.
Jet stuff is freaking amazing! I have one of their JS300s, plus have talked several people into buying their stuff. I'm going to end up snagging one of those P basses. Side note: I wondered why I hadn't seen you post in a while, did a search, and found out that I somehow got unsubscribed. I don't know how that happened.
I want Jet to make a Stingray or Shortscale so bad. There's no shortage of decent options for P & Js at an affordable price, but a proper Mustang or Stingray's a little more limited(esp. in the EU/UK Where Sterlings are overpriced, the new Sires are very welcome though the colour selections kinda suck).
A nice looking bass, but the 400 pound price cuts me off completely for a bass made of Poplar. Put 50quid on top and you get a nice Sire p5 with an alder body and more consistent QC.
It seems a pretty good deal with the usual issues of a sub £500 bass, sounds solid either in Mo-Town or barky rock mode. The QC stuff is probably the trade off, for the above average bridge and tuners.. You get your cake, and eat at least half in this case!
I had one of their strat clones and was very impressed by the value for money. I don't need another p bass, but would seriously consider this if I was in the market.
@@JonnyDibble just arrived - nice man - love the neck and the colour - i cant feel frets, nut needs a rubbin down - just putting some la bella lFTs on it and away we go on the Jet hype train
@@conor3178 Harley Benton is fantastic for beginners! This bass too is great to start with. The rascal is amazing, but a bit more exp naive and more of a wild card? It’s an incredible bass, but I always recommend starting on something more “conventional”. That being said, if you did the rascal, absolutely get it! That’s the most important thing
@@JonnyDibble any harley benton in particular? the new one that came out is on a 10-13 week backorder and i really cant be arsed waiting that long- i think il just go with a squier affinity pj or a gsr200
@@JonnyDibble for the budget being ~500 USD at the top end, the other 2 hanging out on the short list are the Squier classic vibe 60's mustang, and the Sire p5.
@@JonnyDibble turns out there's a Jet dealer a few hours south, by car or train, from where I live, will have to head down some weekend and give one a go.
The high pitch whine in the background when playing clean - is that the bass or something else in the chain? Had to skip past, it was brutal on the ears
have to admit I wasn't super impressed until you plugged it into an amp sim - guess my ears aren't as used to comparing full clean P-Basses. Plugged in it sounds, like you say, like a really solid P-Bass
I would agree were it not for Harley Benton's biggest issues... Thomann ships using the worst companies. My last two arrived in pieces. Sometimes they don't arrival at all.

I bought that gold Jazz bass from Jet as my first bass and have been loving it so far
@@condoreo37 amazing! Love that they offer some unique finishes at this price point
I got the same ! but not my first... I have a couple of Dingwall (way more expansive...) and like the Jet a lot too :)

Sounds and looks great to me.
@@leighcoulson2148 tick, tick, tick! ✅
This seems pretty good! Is the neck pocket sized like a standard Fender, so you could in theory swap in a Fender or Fender licensed neck on it?
@@henriksandakertangen6782 I’ll try and measure compared to a Fender!

Harley benton make both
@@SisterRose I would like to see some more colour options from Jet too tho. Imagine this in all black with the roasted neck 😍
@@JonnyDibbleMatte charcoal grey with all black pickguard.
Thanks, nice review.

how does the jet compare against a sire MM P5R or a squier classic vibe p bass, please?
I bought a Jet strat and it is truly stunning.
@@λιμινιλ they do a silver burst baritone jazz master that has caught my eye!
@@JonnyDibbleOn the downside there‘‘s no or litlle colour choice, but they have to save money for this pricing.

Idk.. too many options out there for solid p basses and pick up swaps can get you most any sound you need from a p bass under $500.
Would you say the Sire P5R is better or no idea ?
I need this one! I can’t find the color online.
I had one of their strat clones and was very impressed by the value for money. I don't need another p bass, but would seriously consider this if I was in the market.

Great color, roasted maple...wow! It's a pity it has a J nut measures tho.
I have one and LOVE it. Although Jet lists the nut width as 1.5" (38mm - jazz width), it's actually 1 5/8" (41mm - "B" Precision width) 👌

@@SisterRose yeah it comes to life then! Some people really don’t like amp sim demos - I think they’re important
