Harley Benton BZ-5000 II NT

This bass is incredible! It is LOADED with features, and sounds incredible. The build quality is fantastic. It feels amazing, and looks incredibly beautiful.

The was only one very disappointing problem with it - as soon as I rotated the high frequency knob up to increase the treble, I mean like only 5%, I immediately started hearing an extremely loud high pitch hissing noise. I tried all the other knobs and they work great, and do not produce any noises, but the treble knob introduced very powerful ear-piercing hissing sounds, and thus the bass was basically unusable. In order to use the bass, I had to always keep the treble knob all the way down. I tried changing cables, plugging the bass directly into the amp, changing pickup modes, but the extreme hissing sounds just wouldn't disappear. This issue was present no matter what I tried. Only with the treble all the way down the bass would not create loud high pitch noises. That's sad because it basically means that the bass is faulty, and the EQ is not working.

I had to return it, but I'll order another one and give it one more chance because other than this terrible fault the bass is amazing! I hope I was just unlucky once, and got that one out of a hundred faulty unit.

I will update my review after getting the second bass and checking, if the other one has the same fault, or not.
