Yeah seriously, after the slap his slaps worked just fine ..... For a while ..... May be needed more slaps ..... Hahahahaha

So funny. Im looking for a cheap bass and was looking on that at Thomann. When you asked her how to slapp, I just wished she would come out and do it. To my surprise she did it. Way to go. so funny. It made my day. Thanks.

Just bought one of these because of your review. Used to play guitar waaaay back, and haven't played for many years now. Feel the bass in my gut though, so I thought this is the time. And your review was very reassuring. So thanks :)

Harley Benton makes great bass and guitars for beginner. But also for people with a lot of experience because "modding" those instruments a bit and they become great instruments to play. I'm playing guitar right now and i want also to play a bass. I think Harley Benton is the best choice for that. Cheap and good quality. Good video by the way!

Gatsu Demon Slayer also, a number of them are the price of a diy kit, which is really impressive

I bought this bass in Natural at your suggestion, Henning. Love it. Thanks

I just got mine in the mail today I love it! I can’t believe they can sell this bass so inexpensively.

I wish I could have bought a bass of that quality when I started

I put pride in getting a cheap instrument sounding just as good or better than anything else. But jesus.. Harley Benton has raised the lowcost-quality level by a lot

Excellent review, really helpful, keep it coming

Love your reviews dude. Keep 'em coming.

Sounds BETTER than some FENDER'S or Squiers I've heard! Herr gutt!

I have a Fender American Vintage '74, but the 5 year old Harley Benton JB75 is still my weapon of choice...

great review and great sense of humor! 🤣 Kudos!😀

I just bought it 2 weeks ago... It is brilliant! It came to me from Thomann with set intonation and action, and even almost in tune... I was shocked when I unpacked it and play it first time. For that money it is bargain of the century. And I agree it is heavy, I think they drilled some holes inside and filled it with lead :D Mine has a great wood selection, you can barely see the joint on the body and neck and fret board have a beautiful grain.

I own this bass in the natural/clear coat finish and I can attest that it is indeed worth every penny. How HB makes quality instruments for this price is astonishing. My only complaint is that it is very heavy [ 9:43 ]. Luckily I only need it for recording but it would be uncomfortable for live use. Easily 13 lbs or more.

Great review - good throwin' in some humor too !

Excellent reviews!!!

does it come with a drone too?😉 Nice review crazy man😂, you've made me want to buy one😃!

How about 1 of the 335/EB style basses Henning? I was thinking of getting 1!

I already have a jazz bass and I really wanna order one of these after watching the vid

I just bought the Harley Benton PJ Vintage for 129 Euro. Great Bass too.

i cant believe i just discovered harley benton. its amazing how well this bass sounds considering the price.

You convinced me. Now the only problem is that I can't decide between SB and NAT color. Super review my friend.

I am quite used to good value for money from Thomann but when my black one of these showed up I could not believe how good it was! If my back was against the wall the only criticism I could make is that the heads of the tuners feel a little weak to me but they have never let me down and tune well, it´s just a feeling. 9/10!

Now "bass face" is "bass slap face"!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings from the U.S.

Best cameo ever!

Can you do a review of one of their neck-through basses? I still can't believe those are neck-throughs for under 400 euros

Have one. Excellent bass

Gonna buy one soon probably a black one

Do a review on the r-458 fanfret!

you need to be wearing a glenn fricker t-shirt...... yay for leslie!

They are better than some cheap basses from other brands up to 250€. But they are way too heavy. And I don't like the necks they put on their "F style" basses. They felt nicer in the past. One of my favorite basses is my 2003 Harley Benton Precision copy (was about 80€ back then!)

nice review

Bang on for the Buck and a well good instrument for the money....

Amazing instrument for that price, heavily recommended((°J°))

Slappin da face!!!

technically that WAS slap technique on bass (player). Jesus Leslie is the star anytime she's on. LOL

Hey Master, quick question about the bass. Do you remember it being noisy / hanmving shielding issues when the tone was up?

@ralphhenderson7270

The bass has no shielding but is not as noisy as many other jazz basses with no sheilding.

This is the best offering by Harley Benton regarding jazz basses........You're getting an American Ash body, alnico jazz pickups, a beefy 'D'-profile neck, Wilkinson standard jazz bridge with brass saddles. And can be purchased NEW from Thomann currently for $155 USD, plus shipping depending on where you live. I own the natural ash model. You will never beat Harley Benton on value for your buck. You can't even buy a Fender Squier new at that price, and their quality is not as good as the Harley Benton.

Hey Good Day. May I ask is it heavier than 'normal' bass guitar? do you think it is a heavy one? I am a guitar player and doesnt like heavy one as it is a bit hard when you stand when playing a heavy one.... thx!

hello, i am thinking of buying this bass, but i would like to ask a few questions, the aspect and price make this bass very tempting and i would not like to spend more then i have to,i am thinking between this or the squier " SQ CV 70's Jazz Bass " that costs 379 euros, i reallize that this is a cheap bass and it costs literraly half than what the squier costs, but like i said i dont wanna spend more than i have to,especially if its my first bass but i would not like to buy the worst and cheapest just for the sake of buying, and after a year i am forced to change it and buy a new one. I want a bass that will last me a few years ! I would like to know is this is a good quality bass ? if its comfortable to play? if the electronics are bad? meaning that will i be forced to change them down the road ? is there buzzing from the pickups when you turn one off or on ? How well does it stay in tune ? and most importantly are there any sharp frets sticking out from the neck ? Is this bass worth it and is it worse than the squier? which one would you recomad ?

@EytschPi42

For the money I would certainly go for the Harley Benton.

Henning can you suggest to Thomann to make a p bass that is the level of the jb-75? I have the deluxe bass but it is inferior with cheaper pickups, cheaper woods, just not the attention to detail. I am using the deluxe in my band (well my bass player is) but compared to the quality of all our other instruments (custom built telecasters, huge pedalboards and mid range drum kits) it is truly inferior. The JB-75 my housemate owns is much superior.

I can't decide beside this and the PB-50 :((

Take this one. It's the best sold one at Thomann. Only disadvantage = It's HEAVY.

Worth every CENT, changed Pickups with Kloppmann Jazz Bass Set for 300 €

the slap on his face win more 1 subscribe! thanks. I'll buy this bass.

Tried it for some rehearsals borrowed. I'll do a review comparing with the Wilkinson model. This one wins by far. Doesn't mix in the band as an expensive jazz, but on its own sounds amazing, plays perfectly and mixes decently. Zero noises. With good pickups it's a great bass for years. Seriously.

Next video: Expensive HB bass to more expensive HB build.

Henning, don't ask questions you don't want answered, like at 10.21. 😜

Here you go Henning, Rob Scallon doing slap bass, hope it helps lol XD kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXdts7aBppXLgZc.html p.s. keep up the good work, love the output you do.

Thinking of 2 things:1) buying a Squier fretless.which is less expensive than the HB over here (and likely just as good or better) plus I can return it if there's something wrong. 2) turning my Yamaha fretted into a fretless (much better bass!). I would fill the fret slots with contrasting wood to make it easier to learn.

My bad. I was looking at the wrong Squier model (not difficult to do on that store's website). It's $435 with taxes. (IK'm in Canada) The HB is $265 with shipping plus taxes and duties. I don't know what those are. But it would definitely be cheaper. But I can buy the Squier in person and pick the best one, which I can't do with the HB.

Ive had one and: Great Bass but - HEAVY, frets not leveled. I`ll pay twice money if they will do decent fretwork otherwise It`s not a keeper - sorry

Hate to be that guy, but is there much wisdom in reviewing a bass people can't buy any more? Or is it a contractual thing? I get "technically a step up", but some might think the 6 months older pickups sound better, and if you have any jazz bass pickups that are 60 years old some folk they'd probably trade you for a set of new ones.

I remember my first bass, short scale, precision pickup, Encore, £100. I'd be very surprised if it was a wood body. For €150 you're right, short of electrocuting you the old pickups couldn't make a difference. I'm in the market for a jazz, was eyeing a Sire... And I'm sure this is fantastic but unless it has a purple, pink or Paisley finish I'll skip I think. Great to know this kind of gear is available, I'm excited to see what awesome music comes from more available instruments and recording equipment.
