Harley Benton JB-75-5MN Natural not bad for roughly £170

[stonevibe]

Harley Benton JB-75-5MN Natural is a new 5-string bass with an American Ash with '70s styling. Looks pretty decent for an affordable bass at around £170

It does look quite nice for the money, and with the Sung-il parts and alnico pickups it should be good to go without upgrades. "American ash" without specifying swamp ash usually means some weight, though.

Still, it'd be high on my list for emergency credit card purchases to keep me gigging if something happened to my main 5 string.

I reckon it is pretty decent looking for well under £200 and could be worth a punt. I already have a 5 string J Bass, so not really in the market for another one, or I'd order one
