madshadows Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 This looks lovely, what do folk think?, fairly new to the HB range I think [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mm_84a_sb_deluxe_series.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mm_84a_sb_deluxe_series.htm[/url] John Quote
Naetharu Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I've not played a HB bass yet but if the quality of the other stuff in their range is anything to by then you'll get a lot of bass for your money there. Quote
discreet Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I'd agree, I bought a Harley Benton Stratocaster for £56 just for basic guitar noodling and recording at home (fully expecting it to be crap), and it's very playable, easy to set up, low action, stays in tune and sounds just like a Stratocaster. I was surprised and delighted. It's not going anywhere and I'll never get tempted to move it on because it's not worth anything! Edited September 13, 2015 by discreet Quote
tom1946 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Really like the look of that John, might just buy one......... (did I really just say that? ) Quote
hookys6stringbass Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Ooooh I like the look of these...might help in scratching an ich for a Stingray... failing that a nice little upgrade project... Quote
Naetharu Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Well I just got my first HB bass today and I have to say I am [b]very [/b]impressed. Considering its a sub £100 bass it plays wonderfully and sounds really nice through my amp. The only down side is that it is heavy - even more so than my Squire P-bass, and its got a bit of neck-dive. However, for playing while sitting down on the couch of an evening its a real gem. Quote

mcnach Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 On looks alone, I'm out. I think it looks hideous!!! But if you like the look, it's probably a decent bass judging from others they make, and a dual humbucker bass is going to offer a cool range of sounds. Quote

[/quote] I picked up one of the HB JB75-NA basses that they had on 'Deco' sale. Its just a Jazz bass copy in natural finsih.
