la bam Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) This is a HARLEY BENTON PB50 I got used a few weeks ago. The seller wasnt honest - the description wasnt truthful concerning condition etc, but I'd gone that far I bought it anyway. I've added a white scratchplate, rather than the standard black. It's a decent fit, but theres just a tiny bit of overlap near the control panel. There has been a logo added instead of the Harley Benton one. Its passable, but not brilliant and wont fool anyone in the know, but looks ok. Everything works as it should. Pick up sounds good. The neck and back of the bass are in good condition. However the lad I bought it off didnt tell me about the condition on the front, which I will show in the photos. Theres a knock in the bottom corner, but in a weird way it adds to the look of the age of the bass. Theres another knock/scrape near the left hand horn, and a weird scrape somehow. There are also 2 holes for an ashtray cover which didnt come with the bass (buyer said they were included). All in all it's a very passable bass. These do get really good reviews. I just want to be honest in the description. You cant get these anymore without the extra hassle of adding 20% vat, and importing from Germany, and any courier costs. Hard to price as it would be worth keeping if I had to sell for less. Certainly a great insight to these basses, a good back up bass, or great for modding. Any questions please ask. Know what you are buying. This is NOT a fender. It is NOT a pristine bass. £90 Pick up Leyland. Edited February 11, 2021 by la bam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Missing the PB50 I had from @yorks5stringer, so fancying another to do a refinish! Need to see if my laughable finances will allow me to proceed first, but would postage be an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
