It has that whole Warwick growl to it, but with a kick-ass low end to round it out. That's around $1,300 USD, and is 100% a "bang for your buck" instrument, which I'd take over this and many other Foderas like it any day.

The tone is in the pickups and strings (and amp). With the body you mostly get playability. And of course here too, this is nowhere near a 200x playability increase for the more expensive bass. Not even a 2x probably

I have an older harley benton P that i bought used (it has the fender style headstock). It was my first bass, and plays really well, feels very close to a MIM P i played in a shop. They are really amazing instruments

the Fodera sounded lifeless while the Harley Benton on the other sound had chock it had fonk and most importantly it had the BONK

Victor could make the $88 sound almost as good as his $16,699 bass. I think you need to spend about $35,000.

Not a fair comparison at all 88$ bass hands down

That Harley Benton P-bass was my first bass :) Still playing on it, only changed strings (Fender flats) and that's it.

Harley wins that "poor" Fodera

If someone has the disposable funds to buy a 16 G bass, good for them! Let's put this into real people perspective. 16 G is a two year old Chevy Cruze, with 30 G miles, in great condition, + a new MIM Fender bass, + a new 500 watts head, (brand of your choice), + a new 4×10 cabinet, (brand of your choice ).

Just picked up one the these HB PB20’s in sexy satin black. Now to wait till it arrives and play the heck out of it. This little bass punches way above its weight class definitely. Now obviously, the Fodera sounds better (duh for $16k it should), but does it sound 189 times better? Nah. I’ll take the HB and slap some Quarter Pounders on there with some GHS Bass Boomers and that will make it shine even better, and for a fraction of the price.

I wish you would mix your voice a bit lower. I always turn the volume up to hear more of the bass and then get deaf because you "shout" into my ears :D

I'll take the Harley Benton. The Pee Bee was perfect then and it is not surpassed since no matter how many pots'n piss and switches you put it up against.

I had Harley Benton Jazz Bass and Precision Bass! Both the cheapest models and they're amazing! 😍 I had one Jack & Danny Brothers Jazz Bass vintage model and it's amazing! Some of Harley Benton vintage models have Rosewell pickups and that is fabulous for the price and the quality you have on the bass, everything, wood, metal parts and electronic components too, etc.... 🙂 👍🏻 Thanks a lot for the video mate!

Hey Patrick, do you have a specific review video for the Harley Benton PJ 74? The white one with the matching headstock. Thank you! Guitarist here trying to learn bass to record. :)

I know the feel of an instrument is A LOT. I know. But, in the end, when I play a record, what I hear is the sound of it. I know the player is gonna feel A LOT more "free" to express themselves and put their ideas through when using a very well made instrument but, in the end, give John Paul Jones or Victor Wooten the $90 Harley Benton P and I will still hear John Paul Jones or Victor Wooten. So, please, let me laugh when I hear the $16699 NEW bass 'cause there is NOTHING that can justify that kind of numbers.

I'd DEFINITELY take the Wals. A fretless Mk1 and a fretted Mk2 please :D

I had both in hands. Of course you're paying for many hours of extra artistry compared to the 8k that cost a non relic fodera. Until you don't play one of them you can't realize what they offer. Dynic range and playability are beyond anything else. HB is a great battle bass and I'd use it rather than a fodera in some situations for sure.

How does a Harley Benson compar to a fender squire?

Fodera sounds much better, obviously. But that HB was pretty good. And not just good for the price, good sounding overall

I hear at both strings hittings the frets. Is it ok?

Though I take precautionary measures, I tend to relic my basses whilst performing gigs. Baggage handlers also relic basses.

I love the sound of a bass

How much does the Harley Benton PB-20BK weigh?

Both sound good can't tell the difference it's who's playing the base that matters

Wow, that Harley Benton is nearly half as cheap as mine!

Why does it sound like you recorded the HB bass with the camera's mic whereas the Fodera was properly recorded with a professional mic?

that opening pick sound on the fodera sounds exactly like my 300 dollar ibanez.

I’ve played literally 100s of different makes of basses, from cheap to the expensive and there seems to me a curve just under $700. I measure a bass on build, playability and sound. Go over that $700 and soon only the price goes up evenly. The further away from that price you go the aforementioned 3 change very little and more often than not, not at all! On the $16k bass I think of all the cool gear that I could get for that kinda money!

That bass cost more then 1/2 my house!

Anyone knows the Name of riff at 3:15

to be honest for that cash I'd grab a vintage p-bass myself,, I bought one of the $56 eBay no-name(probly a glarry) and it's a decent beater bass and project to play with so cheap can be usable and fun but seriously if we all had the cash to drop we would buy high end but probably still buy a cheap one to throw in the car trunk to be ready to jam at all times

The true comparison would've been a monoP fodera vs a Fender or any other P.Then its aurally equal.I have foderas and fenders they all sound great and can deliver all the tones I need.

It's really about the player everyone, most of the tone is in your technique and style trust me.

Honestly for 17k you could go to a luthier and have him build you a custom bass to all of your specifications and make it actually yours

@boogie3718

There is a difference, but not 16k usd difference between two basses. Harley benton sounds fatter and has nice mid range while Fodera sounds brighter and has glassy top end.

16 just insane 4-5 for the fender relics is a bit nuts Still want a fodera though Such is the way

I was dozing slightly when you switched bass's.....and didn't notice, which probably says it all. PS I've had 25 bass's over the years and learnt that Victor could make a Westfield £90 bass sound like an angel, afterall they are all just steel strings over magnets.

Who os victor wooten?

I tip my Fodera to you m'lady.

Nice playing, comparison and everything, but I must say, when you played that fodera with a pick, I felt kind of violated... On the other hand, besides slight sound difference (at least on this video), main difference I ear is on fret intonation, specially on fourth string, cheap bass clearly needs a fret adjustment, and for sure cheap bass does not feels as the fodera. that being said, I agree with some comments here, fodera might be amazing, but you can find many 1000k to 1500k basses out there that sounds just as good.

The more expensive bass had a softer, more rounded sound to it, but that doesn't make the cheap bass bad by default. The cheap bass is plenty serviceable, and would be perfect for a beginner who's dipping their toes into playing bass. Honestly, the difference isn't so vast that I'd write off the cheap bass all together at all.

Just drop some good pickups into the cheap bass, and file the sharp fret ends and you have a player

I didn't notice significant difference, i think the pickups and the strings (type and fresh) can make a lot of difference in sound than the other hardware in a bass. And you can compare the bridge pickup to neck pickup as if they were different instruments and think "oh the second one has a much fuller sound, the low end is awesome" I think a lot of people listen with the eyes. The quality on an instrument it's founded in the precission, durability and confort and it can take a lot of money because of the human work needed. Also the price positioning exits. I suggest you to make a video with a blind test of some basses/pickups/strings/etc...
