  • Harley Benton of Germany consistently makes some of the best musical instruments at a budget price. This Bass - the Harley Benton BZ 4000 NT is no exception. It plays, sounds and looks like a much more expensive bass.

    Another HB Bass I would very much like to have is the MM-84A SB Deluxe Series, this value for money and level of equipment is fabulous!

    I have the 7 string version of that bass. It's an amazing bass, but its tone circuit is not parametric. It's a standard 3 band active circuit. A parametric eq would have additional controls for the center frequency of each band, and a Q (bandwith) control for each band. That said, the tone circuit in the bass is very musical and noise-free.

    Beautiful video and playing! My BZ 5000 is coming in 2 days or so :)). So looking forward man, even more so watching your totally reassuring video. I got two other basses by Harley Benton, the MB-5 in sunburst and black matte, they are true musicman stingray killers, best copies out there. I paid about 140 usd per instrument, quite freaking incredible. You have a great time.

    Great video. Well presented. I got this bass four days ago second hand in Edinburgh for £110. Can I ask though, does the pick up become active when the button/knob is pulled up or is it when it’s pushed down? I didn’t get instructions or a guide to explain and don’t want to waste the batteries. Thank you

    • @davesworld3630
      @davesworld3630  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That is one of the issues with Harley Benton, not including instruction manual. But, when the switch is pulled up the pickups are active. Thanks so much for watching the video.

    Own both the 4 and 5 string versions, dump the tuners, up grade the pre amp, some Zen Nordstrand, now you have some mojo magic ! note the 5 string - up grade to hipshot 18mm spacing - easier for big fingers to play than the 16mm spacing, don't forget to order THE SOFT CASE GEAR BAG very well made for the price.

    • @gingataff
      @gingataff 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Is the Hipshot a direct replacement or do you need to drill new holes?

    Great honest review. I would love to purchase one but I'd have to sell one of my other five basses, and I ain't doing that! Upgraded with EMG's and a Tone Monster pre-amp, these basses sound amazing. Unbelievable value for money....go get one!

    • @davesworld3630
      @davesworld3630  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it truly is a great bass and I absolutely understand your situation. Thanks so much for watching the video. If you do get the bass, I am certain you will not regret it. You will want to replace the tuners though. They are a bit shoddy.

    A fair review there, I've had mine for around a year now and the tuners are definitely the weakest point of it, getting it in tune takes a little longer but it does hold the tuning well once you do.
    Really good looking meaty double humbucker bass guitar for the money.
