Can this $250 Harley Benton beat my $2500 Dingwall?

In this bass shootout, I put the Harley Benton MSB5 head-to-head against my personal Dingwall NG2 to see how a budget-friendly 5-string bass stacks up against a modern metal classic. If you’re into bass guitar reviews, metal bass tones, and real-world gear comparisons, this video is for you.
I test both basses using three distinct tones that bass players actually care about: a clean DI bass tone, an aggressive metal bass tone, and a fuzz bass tone that cuts through a dense mix.

The Harley Benton MSB5 has been getting a lot of buzz as one of the best affordable extended-range basses on the market, while the Dingwall NG2 is known for its fan-fret design, tight low-B, and unmistakable modern metal sound. In this video, I break down how they compare in terms of tone, clarity, feel, and mix-readiness.

This video is made for bass guitarists who love gear, especially fans of content similar to Jonny Dibble, Nate Navarro, and modern metal bass demos. Whether you’re recording DI bass at home, playing heavy music, or looking for your next 5-string bass, this comparison will help you decide what’s worth your money.
