A standout in Harley Benton’s Deluxe Series, the BZ-5000 proves that premium tone and construction don’t have to come with a premium price tag. This neck-through 5-string features an ash/nato/ash body with a sycamore top and back, paired with a 5-piece maple/nato neck for exceptional sustain and stability.
The 24-fret ebonol fretboard offers a 34” long scale with 16.5mm string spacing and a 45mm nut width fitted with a graphite nut — giving players clean, comfortable access right up to the highest frets.
Tone-wise, it’s loaded with G&B humbucker pickups paired with an 18V active/passive 3-band EQ, giving control over volume, balance, bass, mids, and treble for serious tonal shaping across genres. Black DLX hardware, bridge bushings, and DLX diecast machine heads round out the build quality.
Whether it’s smooth jazz lines, punchy funk slap, or driving rock and metal, the BZ-5000 delivers a versatile, articulate low end that punches well above its price point.
