[@deanworsley2244]

G’day Nate, just wondering if you’ve ever checked out SX basses? I recently picked up a P style bass secondhand and it is a killer bass, worth a look as an additional bass to this selection.

[@EasyHeat]

I'm actually quite impressed how well the "cheapo" Glarry held up! I was formerly a punk rock bassist, and also notoriously hard on my gear. $90?! That's like a couple night out at a sushi bar! Great video Nate!

[@A_Stereotypical_Heretic]

Hey brother can you cover a Glarry GIB 5?

[@jasonz1771]

This video proves 2 things. 1. Pickups are the biggest contributor to tone. 2. A good bassist will make a cheap bass sound good. A bad bassist will make an expensive bass sound bad.

[@danibiyarslanov]

And still the most important part of a bass and guiyars in general without taking notice of the player is the amp

[@jasonz1771]

@@danibiyarslanov are you talking about the pre-amp because that's not on all electrics. If you are talking about the amp you plug into, that is not a part of the instrument.

Harley Benton are ridiculously good for the money. I always recommend them to any new players.

[@RitariJorma]

It's amazing how much they have improved from their early days. 15 years ago Bentons were cheap, but mostly just utter crap. Today, they are still cheap, but can absolutely destroy other brands at the same price range. I personally liked Cort the most in this video, but Ibanez and HB were right there on the same level. Squier doesn't sound bad either. But only one of them costs 130$..

[@RedderPDX]

Would it be a good choice for funk slap? I'm looking to buy my first bass and learn.

[@andreipopa13]

@@RedderPDX For that I would recommend you a J-Series Bass from Harley Benton. It has a brighter sound and is much more versatile than the one reviewed in this video. Look for JB-20 or JB-75. The latter is a bit more expensive.

[@Vinterloft]

@@RedderPDX Get their Music Man clone (MM-4? can't remember) the one with just the bridge pickup. The one with two pickups has the neck pickup too close to the neck for snapping strings outwards EDIT: It's the MM-4 and they have the epic satin black version for just £93. Probably the best slap bass tone you can get until you buy an actual Music Man :P

[@thatonefriendthegroupwhopl1645]

What Harley Benton would be good for Playing pop punk and indie emo

[@Anythingidontreallycare]

The Ibanez is the first bass I’ve bought and the only one I have so far. So worth the money. I’ve used it for rock, metal, reggae, funk/disco, blues, jazz etc and it’s never let me down. It’s the most comfortable bass I’ve ever played, it lets you play your chops freely if you want to play some Victor Wooten/ Stanley Clarke kinda licks too, comfortable all the way up the neck, eq controls are perfect. Great bass for the price

[@itzguy_t]

I have to say that this is one of the best side-by-side comparisons Ive seen. Not just the playing so we can hear the difference but also the breakdown of components. Im currently looking for a beginner Bass & this vid did help for me to know what to look out for. Many thanks

[@metalfatigue]

What a fantastic revew! Instead of an hour telling jokes and stories, followed by rave reviews for everything, you just play the instruments and point out what a buyer should expect, since nobody is going to spend an hour inspecting and setting up a bass in this price range. Even the close-up photography was really good. Thanks.

[@Ralf1erudd]

Don't agree people won't set up stuff in this price range. I set up everything as do many other players. It's what makes a cheap good bass a great cheap bass. I have two HB guitars on my wall that both needed fret dress and levelling and truss adjusted. Totally transformed them.

[@adamgreene187]

As someone that recently purchased that exact model of Squire, I could not agree more with this breakdown of it. Obviously not the best bass I've ever owned, but it's wonderful.

[@Guitar6ty]

The Glarry and the Harley Benton both sounded real deep. Excellent presentation.

[@treed873]

Ironically, I thought the Ibanez sounded the best in every style you played, followed by the Squier and Cort.

[@Eric-dd8bk]

Agreed

[@dontkillmoths1915]

True. The Ibanez is the most versatile of the bunch and has the smoothest sound.

[@atomgroup3179]

I agree, but his point is also valid because we don't pay that much attention to sound when we play, but to how we feel. And most of the time a better amp and a better mixing are the determinants of a good sound

[@rlbink2498]

Agreed. Especially for rock and metal.

I feel like that Squier bass just smashes it out the park for me

[@roshanthapa7075]

Yeah and it even sound so good with Darkglass

[@rookmaster7502]

Based on the sound, it was my least favorite. Too bright with a not very smooth sound. Perhaps great for a bass solo, but I don't think it would fit in a busy song mix all too well.

[@OskarFFS]

@@rookmaster7502 imo it'll work well for punk or indie, Also. It's better to have a naturally brighter sound so if you'd like you could turn it down with an EQ than boost something that isn't really there, I reckon by also just switching where the right hand plays could make it sound less brighter if it was more closer to the bridge. At the end of the day it depends on taste really but definetly usable for most things as long as mixing is on point

[@tibayonex4505]

Weirdly I like the Glarry P pickup sound more

[@Killadey]

@@tibayonex4505 I does have a certain charm, more vintage sounding maybe, but I'm a guitarist so maybe I'm off bass.

[@turnerjazz7872]

I'm not so sure about that. The way he calculated the value means cheap instruments will always have a high value, even if they are terrible. That glary was the worst bass by far but came in 2nd for value. But how valuable is a bad instrument really?

[@richarddwjensen]

@@turnerjazz7872 Good point. Maybe weight "value" differently?

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

I have to agree that this isnt the best method, there is absolutely no way the Glarry is in anyway better than the Ibanez, this method makes a good affordable bass with great features to its credit seem bad just because the value isnt ideal, having said that the actual price of that GSR model is 199 right now, unless he's adding a gig bag, strap or stand cost to that, which i doubt. My faves are definitely the Ibanez and the Harley, im actually seriously considering getting the GSR.

I was blown away by the Cort when I got it, and a year later am even more in love. Last bass I had - years ago - was a Kramer. I got back into playing and finally really trying to learn when my kids gave me the Cort for a pandemic lockdown birthday present. Wow! The build quality is exceptional, the tone, playability and overall sound (except for the bridge pup on it’s own) very good, and it’s so comfortable to play. I thought that if I carried on playing I’d eventually grow out of it. No way. If anything, may replace the bridge pickup... but I’m enjoying the hell out of it as is

[@javier10jr]

Can you use it whitout a battery?, like if it was a passive bass just deactivacting tremble and bass controls, or does it just work whit a battery?

[@saxyrep1]

Wow ! That's a great video. Stellar playing, the comparison/scoring system is flawless, straight to the point. Definitely worthy of way more views.

[@saxyrep1]

Also as smne who's owns a Harley Benton PJ5 Deluxe, the five string version of the one tested, it really is great although I'd say the Squier got me really interested because of its sound.

[@JCole78]

It should be noted that the cost of the Ibanez is $50 higher because it’s a GSR200SM, and not the standard finish GSR200. A standard finish GSR200 is only $199 which using your scoring system brings it up to a 211 which puts it above the Squire.

[@kellenb8887]

I really liked the Ibanez sound for slapping around and distortion better than the rest…great video!!

[@dannywest8843]

I was surprised more commenters didn't favor it! I thought it was by far the best poppity do.

[@Homanjer]

I'd recommend for anybody who wants to really become a bass player but has very little money to just buy a squier. Mainly because you can see the quality and you have the compatibility with so many aftermarket parts. Also it's a good idea to get used to that standard fender shape and neck feel. Many basses are based of that and it's just a good idea. If you eventually get bored with the sound or you want to make upgrades you dont have to buy a completely new bass.

It even beats my Fender JB and PB, and the Warwick. I still love all of them, but when it comes down to ectended live playing or studio recording, it‘s the Harley. 😛

[@Chris-cf2kp]

I've had the ibanez as my first bass - being a guitarist for many years. I got it for sale used-new and it's been really great to learn on - very ergonomic and comfortable, and the difference compared to a larger fret bass seems negligible once it's through the amp.

[@DrMori0425]

For the budget I finally go to Ibanez BTB which has the best ergonomy and price and performance for me. The only issue is that the bass is too heavy and the pinch for strap almost fail and I have to fix it with my knowledge in woodcraft lol.

[@nrich5127]

Just to be on the factual side - the Harley Benton PJ4 is imported from Thomann in Germany and the delivery charges are unavoidable and is $67.79 US to ship to Florida. This changes the total real cost very close to $200 US. This makes the price of the Squier only around $30 US more than the Harley Benton. It is possible that the shipping costs are inflated due to the pandemic as previous reports were that the shipping costs were only $30 US.

[@이태원-u5r]

This is the best comparison video ever! I've never seen anyone doing like this, especially the value calculation is crazy :D Oh btw I liked the play of course!!

[@Farbocaster]

I bought the Glarry for an upgrade project while stuck at home due to the virus. I planned to improve many of the areas that fell short in your test. Firstly, the body I ordered has the same finish as yours. It is highly polished and smooth with no dings or imperfections, The neck came tightly bolted to the body. The tuners and bridge were of decent quality. However I replaced the bridge with a slightly heavier one. This was not necessary, but I had planned to change it from the start. I sanded down the neck to make it thinner and and finished it with Tung oil. I installed GFS hot overwound pickups and Quick Plug electronics for an easy upgrade. A few of the frets were high, so I ground and polished them. I also filed and smoothed the fret ends. Lastly, I gently filed one nut slot and put on a set of flat wound strings. What I ended up with was a better sounding, better playing instrument that I have already taken to several open microphone events.

[@Maickellz]

I have the exact same Cort, and I'm happy that you estimated it almost as high as the Squier, because my beginner untrained ear can't tell much difference. I should say however that I would definitely go for a Squier if it weren't at least 2 times more expensive in my local stores.

Hey man pretty cool to see you play through all the different styles and sounds,... I just put money down on a late 90s model 4 string and idk what it was about it when I first set my eyes on it at a guitar store and there were 5 others and they looked good also but before I noticed it was an Ibanez bass I didn't even care at the moment what the brand was, all I knew in my mind was it was meant for me and I hadn't even reached up to unhook it from it's stand and handled or played it yet.. I hadn't played in over 15 years and never knew if I'd ever get back into it again but once I walked in and looked down the line of the guitars and bass that were there only one caught my attention and it's weird but I put it back and told the owner maybe I'd come back sometime if it was still there.. I left and got about a mile away and I immediately made a u-turn and went straight back to that guitar store and put half down on it because the feel of the bass in my hands and it's like being reunited with a long lost friend and it's like a good drug that you enjoy being hooked on 💯😎

That Harley Benton just sounds so good, right up my alley....especially for that price. The Cort had a unique sound....not a fan, but when you ran it with that green distortion, was a real good tone.
