    NBD: Harley Benton 5 string jazz bass

    If there is a issue with this bass it is definitely the weight, I have not put it on a scale, but guessing about 10.5-11.5 lb’s.

    NBD: Harley Benton 5 string jazz bass

    Thanks for all the nice comments, I’m pretty impressed with the bass the more that I play it. The neck shape is really comfortable for a 5 string, not overly big, but fits the hand nicely, and with the satin finish, it’s smooth sailing. Like I said earlier, I posted this because I wasn’t sure if...

    NBD: Harley Benton 5 string jazz bass

    I don’t like a tight spacing on a 5 string bass, and there was no indication of the string spacing on the listing, so you take a chance hoping it’s a good spacing. This bass came out in December 2023, so I have never seen a Harley Benton jazz 5 string with the single coil pickups. I think they...

    Hello guy’s, been awhile since I’ve posted on here, but I felt I wanted to post this bass, because I don’t believe Harley Benton has ever made a 5 string jazz bass with the two single coil pickup’s. I was a little skeptical buying this bass because I like a wide string spacing on a 5 string, and...

    NBD - Jogo Jazz

    That is a beautiful bass...love the color, and that bound body is fantastic. Some really nice touches, and very simplistic.
