6-String Electric Bass
Nylon Gig Bag for Electric Bass
Harley Benton's Deluxe Series is known for exceptional instruments with top-notch features at an attractive price. The latest version of the Harley Benton BZ-6000 NT six-string bass is no exception. One standout detail is its five-piece neck-through design, with a longer 35" scale length. This construction guarantees a clear, articulate tone and remarkable sustain. Add to that the unique Harley Benton design, combined with some truly premium tonewoods and a full complement of high-quality hardware – including the graphite nut, die-cast tuners, and monorail bridge – that simply speaks for itself. At the heart of the BZ-6000 II NT's versatile sound are two soapbar humbuckers, and active electronics featuring a Tesla 3-band EQ. All in all, the Harley Benton BZ-6000 II delivers a package that brings together features and design elements usually found in much higher price ranges, especially considering the bundle comes with a high quality bag at little extra cost.
Mahogany and ash form the foundation of the Harley Benton BZ-6000 II's body, which is topped off with a truly spectacular AAA-grade flamed maple top. The transparent high-gloss natural finish is exactly the right choice here to bring out the grain. Maximum stability comes from the neck-through construction, made of five individual strips of maple and nyatoh. Completing the package is a rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets. Two Tesla TV-SBL1-6 humbuckers and active Tesla electronics with a 3-band EQ (bass, mids, treble) offer a wealth of tonal options. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, the BZ-6000 II can be switched to passive mode with the push/pull function of the volume dial. The black Sung-Il-BB-106 bridge features six independent saddles; this lightweight 'monorail' design ensures the optimal transfer of each individual string's vibrations.
So who's the Harley Benton BZ-6000 II for? First and foremost, bassists who're looking for something special, a bit off the beaten track – but that won't break the bank. For players who aren't stuck in a vintage mindset and definitely don't want yet another copy of a classic. Ultimately, for anyone who wants to broaden their musical horizons with a genuinely unusual instrument. All that being said, the price also makes the BZ-6000 II a solid choice as a second or third bass. A six-string, of course, is aimed at virtuosos wanting an extended range with that low B string and high C string: As such, this bass really comes into its own in modern styles. Jazz, Fusion, contemporary R&B and Gospel, Funk and more – these are just some of the genres where the Harley Benton BZ-6000 II feels right at home.
Since 1998, the Harley Benton brand has been catering for the needs of countless guitarists and bassists.

Of course, instruments like the Harley Benton BZ-6000 II can easily handle a bassist's bread-and-butter duties in almost any band. But even at first glance, it's clear that the BZ-6000 is built for much more. This is a six-string designed to step into the spotlight with punchy basslines, solos, chord work, and even full solo arrangements. All perfectly complemented by Harley Benton's own effects pedals, of course, like the Classic Chorus, the Classic Flanger, for almost psychedelic tones, or the Harley Benton Duality for variable reverb. And there's space to store a least a couple of pedals – plus strings, tuner, and everything else a bassist needs – in the bag this bundle ships with. It's also equipped with decent backpack straps, so it can be carried safely almost anywhere.
