Holy Smokes!

I have 3 Harley Benton bass guitars, and this one is the 4th one of the family, and I have to say, I'm truly impressed. Even a store clerk was impressed by it.
I love the pick up blend control, the clear distinction between the P PU and H PU. Truss rod and bridge adjustment is very easy as well, although I didn't have much adjustment to make straight out of the box.
I am not a fan of the active sound on this bass. It doesn't sound natural, and it feels like it is forcing something out that doesn't really belong to the bass. No worries, the passive mode sounds spectacular enough.
The specs say that the neck is "C," but to me, it feels more like "D" than "C." No complaints here, just pointing something out. The sound of this bass is very warm and punchy.
The control knobs seem to be backward, except for the pick up balance, which leaves me slightly puzzled...

Pros:
Price
Quality
Sound
Adjustability

Cons:
Backward control knobs (except for the PU balance)
PU Balance knob is angled, not straight on
Active mode sounds unnatural.

Wonderful bass at a value price.
Jeremy1975 18.04.2022
I received my new bass earlier today. Everything looks and works great straight from the box. The neck feels like the 70’s Fender I learned on. The tone is incredible! It is a little heavier that I imagined, but not unreasonably so. This is a great addition to my collection and I look forward to a lot of great gigs in the future.

Wonderful Budget Bass
Lukey95 13.10.2024
I've had a stellar time with this 5-string Harley Benton, it's an absolute workhorse for the price and sounds great both passive and active. I've used this for gigs and recording in a professional studio with absolutely no issues.
If you're looking for a quality sounding instrument that doesn't break the bank, then look no further!

An extremely solid bass especially for the price
self_omitted 08.09.2022
I've been needing a solid 5 String for my own recording and this one really did it for me. I'm a huge fan of how you can go from active to passive as I'm not huge on the whole active thing but at least the option is there. I've gotten compliments for this bass and there are no regrets from buying this one

WOW
101Snake 15.12.2024
Fantastic bass, weight, balance, fret ends, set up and electronics are all spot on! This will be the perfect partner in crime for my MJ-5MN, and it'll go nicely with my HB Progressive Series basses.

Worthy Five String
CrocCreative 13.02.2025
I'm not primarily a bass player, but wanted one for adding my own basslines and faffing around. In the hazy and best forgotten past, I had a Fender P-bass lying around to cover this, but had a hankering to try a five string.

The ash body puts it on the weighty but manageable side, the stainless steel frets are well-seated and without sharp edges, and it stays in tune well. The neck isn't too thick or too thin with a pleasant finish that isn't at all sticky.

The controls are all sturdy and function well. The pickups and preamp aren't earth-shatteringly amazing, but perfectly useable. The split-coil has that smooth grumble you've heard a billion times, and the humbucker gives you some higher output punch.

If you're new to 5-string bass (or bass in general) and want something that isn't going to cause your credit card to quiver in panic, one of these is an absolutely fine place to start.
