Here's one for the 5 string fans, the PJ-5 Deluxe Series... I had this bass in my hands for a few hours last year, and I was impressed, although I didn't keep it as I had recently received a 5 string ESP as a gift, and didn't play 5 string that much. I also tried out the 4 string version of this same bass. The 4 string version had issues with the pickguard, as the tort finish came off with a little use, so now they have started to issue this bass with a black PG, I am not sure if the 5 string had the same issue or not, but it is still available with the tort guard. The finish of this instrument, at least the one I had my hands on, was very nice. The colour is called "Hot Rod Red", which is actually close to a wine colour. The sound from the pickups is nice, although I didn't get to try it with other instruments. The bridge and hardware were the standard quality of Harley Benton basses, which is not the best, but perfectly functional. Rather than describe it, here is a video that gives some idea on the tone you can get from this bass:
