Harley Benton enhanced series jazz £170 Cheltenham

[gafbass02]

Out of over 200 basses owned, many 4 figures plus, this budget Harley Benton is one of the very best!

which is both nuts and annoying!

it does a good ray, a good jazz and a good p.

The action is low and fast, the neck is smooth and wonderful to play. The only downside is the reason I’m selling it. The weight. It’s heavy. 
I started a refinish on the headstock and then loads of gigs came up, so I never finished it and left it as is. I kinda like that way tbh. 
There is a big route around the neck pickup, NOT the full swimming pool, but enough to be annoying, and without the pick guard the control cover doesn’t quite cover the cavity. I repositioned it to cover all but a tiny gap. But be aware if planning to use it without the pick guard. 
Im afraid it’s collection from Cheltenham only. £170
If a heavy bass doesn’t bother you then this is a no brainer!   It truly feels, sounds and plays like  a way (waaaay!) more expensive bass. Will trade for an Ibanez soundgear in a colour I like!

Shame they don't do a fretless version :)

 

Good luck with your sale!

I've got the P/MM version of this.

Ended up upgrading the electronics and pups on it but other than that it's scary how well it plays and feels (and now sounds) for a budget bass! Comparable to basses way up the price scale.

That’s ok, I prefer brighter colours or natural anyway

PM me if the deal doesnt complete and i will buy.

[BaggyMan]

did this sell?

 

[stewblack]

It did. It's in my Harley Benton collection.

I would say I'll contact you if I sell it on, but I'm never selling this. It is of astonishing quality.

Agreed. Mines my main gigging bass and couldn't be happier. I've had a few and the QC on them is a bit hit and miss with some having sharp free edges, high frets and cosmetic bits and bobs.

But when you get a good one it's stellar!

I would expect to pay several times as much to get a bass of comparable quality.
