Cheers for the reverse P pickup on this, which works better for me than the traditional one. I find the overall tone more balanced that way

@thejoetandy 7 месяцев назад

definitely the better balance between EA/DG strings. Better anchor spot for the right hand too, closer to the humbucker sweetspot

@jasondorsey7110 7 месяцев назад

@@thejoetandyI have a '95 jackson with a reverse split coil, and it is nice to have that option, balances out a j-bass bridge pickup well

@SmashingHamster 7 месяцев назад

No they're not. Don't get me wrong, the Harley Benton is great, for the price amazing value and I even got one, but it doesn't come close to fit and finish of a Sandberg.

Cmon, really? It's like saying Bentley and McLaren are really worried about the new mazda lineup.

@57precision 7 месяцев назад

Really like this one. I was never really convinced of the P/MM configuration because the MM is too far back to sound like a Stingray. But now I see it's more like a PJ, but better.

Thank you Gregor, and thank you Sophie, you guy’s rock!

As someone who has owned 5 HB basses, yes it is, this one stood tall above the others. I am not kidding when I say it felt almost as good to play as a USA Fender

@drphalanges1520 4 месяца назад

I have the natural finish version of this bass. I swapped out the bridge pickup for a Nordstrand Big Blademan. It's my favorite bass, even over my expensive Ibanez and Spector basses. You can't go wrong buying this bass.

@flatwoundfisker 7 месяцев назад

This is great bass, highly recommended it for the money. Much appreciated having this available in a lefty! I would buy a 5 string if it was available.

@Charizti 7 месяцев назад

1up for the 5 string!

@matto9734 7 месяцев назад

Hey Sophie, nice versatile playing! Perfect for showing what´s in the Bass. On top you have the fitting Bass Face too, very good! Ahh yes, the Bass sounds awsome.

@BassMusician7 7 месяцев назад

The body and hardware are good. Love the roasted maple neck but, realistically speaking the pickups are a little muzzled and it would sound a whole lot better with a 3 band eq. However you do get a lot of bang for your buck. Additionally it would make a great mod project. I know some of the Harley Benton fanboys will be offended. I'm just being honest.

@kharybaker868 7 месяцев назад

Agreed. I have the Anniversary and natural finish models modded with Nordstrand pickups and preamp(natural has an Underhill filter preamp). Both sounded okay stock, but great now.

@systemofapawn 7 месяцев назад

@CheapMessiah 7 месяцев назад

I like the use of roasted maple in entry level basses, but the last 6-12 months the lack of quality control on the roasting of the wood is making some necks to look way darker than the fingerboard slabs, many brands seem to be affected by it, so im guessing its the roasted maple supplier in SEA thats the problem. In a 300€ bass i find it to be somewhat acceptable, but on a bass like this that coss 500€ is totally unacceptable.

@jreid641 7 месяцев назад

Nice looking and sounding bass.

@6minus3minus2 7 месяцев назад

I wonder how it compares to the Sandberg basses with the same configuration. I recently played a Sandberg with just the humbucker in the bridge and man, what a sensational bass. I still dream about it lol.

@SmashingHamster 7 месяцев назад

It would get you close, but it will not sound and feel like a real Sandberg. I got a Harley Benton because I thought it would, but some things were off right out the box. The poti knobs are really cheap and fell off (no big deal not a expensive part to replace). Also the fret ends were a bit sharp. But the preamp was just unusable and with it, the bridge pickup alone was almost not usable. Introduced very much hiss in the signal chain when engaged and overpowered everything, but not in a good way. I changed mine to a Glockenklang 2-band eq and the bass came more to life. As I had the pickguard off to change the electronics I also noticed that a part of the body in the electronics compartment broke of where it should hold a screw in. So all in all like all cheap instruments, a 50:50 chance of getting something amazing or something where the quality controll just lacks.

@leedodson3136 7 месяцев назад

It’s not a Sandberg. However for the price this bass is happening. Kudos for the zero fret. The weight is not bad. The neck is killin’. Preamp to me sounds cheesy. Change out the preamp and maybe the pickups and this bass is an amazing deal. But not a Sandberg.

@RobVespa 5 месяцев назад

Wouldn't that be the BZ-4000 II NT? Thanks for the commentary and playing. All the best.

@mauriciuscastrus 7 месяцев назад

Welcome Sophie !

@GussSSUGOER 7 месяцев назад

I bought this bass. Astonishing finish, great look. The neck (shape + feeling + finition) is absolutely gorgeous. But unfortunately, both electronics and pickups are very bad. I mean VERY bad. After a little hesitation (I really loved the look, so I thought maybe I could replace the pickups), the bass was sent back to Thomann. *** J'ai acheté cette basse. Finition etonnante, super look. Le manche (que ce soit la forme, le touché, la qualité de la lutherie) est sublime. Malheureusement, l'électronique et les micros sont à jeter. Mais vraiment... Après une petite hésitation (j'aimais vraiment le look, et j'ai hésité à remplacer les micros), la basse a été renvoyée chez Thomann. 😢

@maikfohnan1415 7 месяцев назад

You've already tested the bass once. Has anything changed in terms of weight, weight distribution and the MM pickup? Is the roasted neck worth the extra cost?

@basstheworldofficial 7 месяцев назад

Nothing has changed and I think roasted maple is always better. Sounds, feels and looks nicer

@pjmuck 7 месяцев назад

I picked up a left handed one. I'm amazed at the quality at this price point. Destroys any Fender Player series and several American Pro models I've played too. Sound, craftsmanship, everything is first rate.

@rubin_bass 6 месяцев назад

And it has zero fret, a feature I love!

@quickwashtheraccoon7601 7 месяцев назад

I guess, Thomann got some gold basses to sell. Do you know why they are good? Because the blue and nature ones were also very good. A very good bass. I like the pickup-combination. With a good preamp or electronic it is a as good as more expensive ones. Hope the gonna build more without roasted maple and without stainless steel frets. Too much work after buying it. And the wood is not the same like good closen wood or when dried naturally.

I love everything about this bass, except I feel like it always sounds like it has the tone turned right down, quite muffled and underwater sounding. Be great with some new pick ups and maybe a new pre amp, I've bought so much off Thomann over the years and their customer service is always fantastic
