Twincam Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Harley benton uke bass a deko model which had some issues that are now fixed. Ok firstly i have no idea why photobucket made my pics weird from my phone i think its because my phone was on auto enhance. But hopefully they still show the bass ok. Let me know if you want any pics directly emailed. The bass has a couple of minor cosmetic issues. There is a small 2mm dent near a tuner. On the side of the head theres some little marks. And there is a 3mm mark on the back its not very noticeable and my phone couldn't pick it up. Other than that the bass is ok. And looks really nice i think. And to mention this does come with the Famous D stamp for deko. There was some bad setup issues. Firstly the frets needed a full leveling, crown and polish. There now perfectly level and have a mirror finish, fret board has been oiled. The E and G string were very low in volume and needed a lot of fiddling about with to get right, removing the bridge saddle and levelling it, re positioning of the pickup etc. The strings are now level in there output. The bass then needed setting up which I used kala u bass guide as a setup reference which is 4 - 5mm at the 12th fret, I went with average of that 4.5mm. With a little bit of relief. Due to the level frets this can go lower if needed. Bass looks and plays nice and has a surprising amount of power, even my gf liked its tone. Alas its not for me though really don't get on with the strings and nor could she. Here is the specs Spruce top, mahogany body, carved back, mahogany neck, C-shape, rosewood fingerboard, DOT-inlays, 20 frets, scale 534 mm, nut width 42,0 mm, rosewood bridge, black open gear tuners, B-Band u1. 5T pickup system with built-in tuner, Aquila strings, finish: natural satin. £60 pounds delivered or £50 picked up. I think that is fair considering it taken me a few hours to put right and has hardly been played in that time. Comes with all tags and the booklet for the pre amp.
