NBD - Harley Benton JP-45OP Natural Finish

[madshadows]

New Bass Day yesterday, a Harley Benton JP-45OP 4 string bass in a Natural finish, bought from Paul @Shepster8316 on Basschat. Fantastic bass that looks and sounds incredible and plays beauifully, the neck is a dream to play. Paul had set up the bass perfect with a low action, don't know how HB could produce such a killer bass for so little money !!, the roasted maple neck and fret board is stunning 😍. See pics below 🎸👍😃

Nice... Intrigued to see what it looks like without the plate...

Probably a bit like this:

 

edit: agh, no, that's the JJ. The JP has quite a big routing, at least my 5-string does.

That line of basses are HB's secret weapon in my opinion. I've got both the JJ and the JP in 5-string and I would expect them to cost 3x as much, easily.

Just been looking for these on the Thomann website. Looks like they've been discontinued (just like the mustang-a-like). Shame since I would have liked to try one. Good luck with yours!
