Harley Benton MV-5JB Black

MV5-JB, the 5 string bass with a slim neck.

I have been wanting to try a 5 string bass for a while now, but many have quite the wide neck nut width. This one comes in 43mm at the nut so not much bigger than a tradition precision neck.

Fit and finish was awesome and well above basses 2x/3x the price. Tone is great and the low B packs a nice low rumble but is not floppy.

Weight was nice and feature wise this instrument is great value for money!

Highly recommended for a good value for money 5 string bass

Looks, feels, and sounds amazing.

As soon I unpacked it, I changed the strings, only to my astonishment the E string tuner was falling off.
Quick turn of a screwdriver fixed that, the others were fine.
Took a while to fix the intonation, it was really bad on all strings except the G.
Again, all cured, and plays and sounds better than my Fender Jazz.
