Classic features
A basswood body, a roasted ("caramelised") maple neck, and a laurel fingerboard make up the basis of the Harley Benton JB-62SB, and its classic bolt-on neck design promises a noticeably more immediate attack, while its slim D neck profile featuring 20 frets and a 38mm nut width ensures the instantly comfortable playing feel that players know and love. Two matched Roswell single coils and passive electronics comprising a dedicated volume control for each pickup and a master tone control are at the heart of the JB-62SB’s well-defined tone. And since Harley Benton always aims to produce instruments with an appealing design, its JB-62SB bass boasts a Sunburst finish, vintage-style machine heads, a tortoiseshell-look pickguard, and much more for an authentic look that will win over bassists of all genres and styles.

Im Detail erklärt
Roasting
Roasting is one of a range of heat treatment methods that can be applied to wood. This method, which is a relatively recent development, is used in order to give new and/or alternative woods the same tonal characteristics as older, matured tone woods (some of which are now protected by conservation laws and can thus no longer be sold). The wood is placed in a special computer-controlled oven and dried to a pre-determined degree – in other words, its natural drying phase is artificially shortened. This process also changes the wood’s visual appearance, darkening its colour and making the pattern of the grain more distinct.
