hooky_lowdown Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Harley Benton 50’s style precision bass in sunburst, solid wood body (basswood), with black pickguard. Excellent condition, the original electrics weren’t great, so had a Ki0gon solderless loom installed, along with a Seymour Duncan pickup. Quickly decided the original Wilkinson Alnico pickup sounded better and had a higher output then the SD, so changed it back (SD pickup was since sold). Hardware and truss rod all work perfectly. Has Picato medium tension flatwound strings (no silks which I believe is very rare), sound fantastic and in keeping with the original 50s look for this bass, but I’ll also include a free set of La Bella roundwounds which I had on my Jazz, before deciding to put some La Bella tape wounds on instead. So, will include both so you can decide which to use - flats or rounds. £105 plus £20 postage. Edited October 10, 2020 by hooky_lowdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Curious where you are in case pickup is an option? Asking mainly since £20 is a fair proportion of a bass that’s £105 shipped new, and I may be close by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky_lowdown Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Where are you @therealting? May be able to bring the bass round once lockdown is lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
