Harley Benton JAMster Bass

I have the Joyo equivalent which is nice, but this Harley Benton Jamaster is smaller, has a fatter tone, and more features. I also use the Harley Benton Mini Stomp Deep Tone five band equalizer for an even deeper tone. Fantastic sound for quiet practicing.

Wanted something light but decent sounding to practise while on holiday abroad. It scores well on both counts. It's plenty loud, but I took my ancient Hartke Bass Boost pedal to give it a slightly fuller sound and it passed the "do I want to sit for a while longer and jam?" test. The bluetooth function and headphone socket are nice touches. Only (very) minor downside is no carrying handle, but hey, for this price I could glue on a strap or buy a case.

First of all it is about £33 (Dec 2024).
Bluetooth streaming, a bit of bass overdrive but importantly a good neutral clean tone.
It is a perfect “light” desktop practice amp. The overdriven tone is a bit buzzy and the active boost on my bass is a bit too much for it (TBH its a bit much anyway!)
But playing along with tracks from your library is very good with clarity and decent music/bass balance.
I’d recommend this.
