This Harley Benton MP-5MN is a seriously impressive package for the price. The swamp ash body gives it a really nice resonance, and the Roswell pickups deliver a surprisingly modern and articulate tone. It’s a great option for players wanting a 5-string with a modern feel and active EQ, particularly suited to rock, funk, and modern pop basslines.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Roswell combination offers a slightly more scooped and modern tone than a typical P/J, with a bit more clarity and less of the traditional 'muddy' low-end.
The active EQ provides a wider tonal shaping range, especially in the mid frequencies, and the controls are fairly straightforward to use, though a little experimentation is recommended to find your sweet spot.
The satin finish highlights any imperfections, so it's more susceptible to scratches than a gloss finish. A good quality bass polish and careful handling will help keep it looking its best.
