This bass is incredible.. :O
Well I am a precision bass guy in average.
I had 3 jazz basses before usually Squier CV or Affinity series somehow I sold them all, but after a long time I was curious about that jazz bass after I watched BassTheWorld's videos about it.
This Harley Benton bass is just incredible in many ways. I had no serious expectations about it, but when I took it out of the box I was stunned.
Where to begin... First, the finish was great for the first look. The neck is comfortalbe, roasted maple, the binding is fine, the fretboard is laurel but it has a nice dark tone I will give it some lemon oil at the first string change. It comes with D' addario strings, its really good, but my hand are really sweaty so I use only coated strings. That will happen in a few days.
The tuners are smooth, they hold the tuning really well. Nut is great, hights filed fine. The fretwork is really good I did not feel rough edges, and there is no fretbuzz at all, even at higher positions. The brass saddles on the bridge give the bass nice sustain. The sound is even better than I expected. I would not tell at a blindfolded challenge, that is not a Fender or any other jazz bass on the market that have a higher price tag.
I had to make some adjustments on the neck, but it was not a problem, the truss rod's wheel rotates smooth I did not recognize any problems. You can easily adjust the saddles and you can earn a really low action with a perfect intonation. It is also enjoyable that the dot position markers inside the binding are phosphorescent. I recognized it by accident. The inlays in the fretboard are fine work as well. The only thing that I would describe as a "problem" is its weight.
This bass is a little bit heavy, but I don't really care I am not a paperdog... Overall I recommend this bass to anyone who wants a great bass for this ridiculous price for this quality. I just dropped my jaw, I mean it. Lets go Harley Benton follow this path!
