How does an electric bass cost 89 €?

Dear bass players, here is the new Harley Benton PB20 in satin black (new release coloring!)

I made this video to show the potential of this new HB from 89 euros useful for those looking for a forklift truck at a bargain price ... as a song I chose a classic by Maiden so that it can help to compare the sound of this bass with the typical Precision sound ...

In the next few days I will publish other covers played with this HB, so I invite you to follow my channel to keep you updated!

PS: it is the first time that I officially approach the recording of a cover of Maiden (although Harris is one of my reference bassists I am mainly a new wave bassist!) So have clemency for the performance of the performance

Great playing Dave, and that looks like 89 euro's well spent to me.

Out of interest, how do you manage to get over 2000 views in just three days?

I have a number of video's on YouTube and some have been on for years and I've never got past 50, and most of them would be people I know.

I haven't got a clue how to use YouTube to its full potential. 🤔

It costs 89 euro because it's made in a high tech factory in a low wage economy. If you have a few hundred million to invest in a manufacturing facility somewhere where people will work for peanuts, you too can offer basses for that price. Decent playing, btw.

It's not a new release colouring, it's been out a while! 

If you spend a few quid more for the pb50 it's even better in all aspects. 👍

Sounds like the real deal. Auguri Davide.
