Harley Benton Introduces the MV-4JB Gotoh Bass

Harley Benton MV-4JB Gotoh Basses

Harley Benton has added the MV-4JB Gotoh bass to their lineup, which takes its name from its upgraded Gotoh GB-7 tuners. Available in four finishes, the J-style bass is built with an alder body, caramelized Canadian maple neck, and bound laurel fretboard.

The company calls it an “all-rounder” bass thanks in part to its Roswell JBA alnico 5 pickups, which they say reatin note-definition and clarity. Other features include a graphite nut and a Wilkinson bridge with brass saddles.

The Harley Benton MV-4JB Gotoh is available now for $193.
