Harley Benton Shorty - Sold £65 Bristol

[Burns-bass]

Embarrassingly, I found this in the cupboard and I forgot I'd bought it. This is an as-new condition and is the perfect introduction to shorts scales.

 

The only issue with this is that the G tuner was a little loose, so my DIY fix was to superglue it and then buy a replacement. Well, the superglue works just fine, but I never did find a replacement, so it's a little untidy. 

 

This is a cool little thing, and just about small enough to be a stocking filler. 

 

£65 cash on collection gets it. This really is my last bass for sale, so it'll be an emotional day (not really)

 

Based in Bristol.

Anyone interested in some low cost bass fun?

These are way better than the price would suggest.

I bought one to see if short scale suited me and I’ve kept it as my gigging back-up.

GLWTS.

It’s remarkable for the cash! Happy to knock a bit off of source a new tuner… I

A good cheap bass with upgrading potential.

Do not imagine because of the price that this isn't a proper instrument. 

It will play perfectly with zero modification.

[Paul S]

Yup.  I bought one with the intention of modding it but it is great straight out of the box.  Does proper vintage Precision bass tones.

Great impulse buy for somebody - nearly me....

 

Please, don't sell it to me....

Anyone interested at £60? Can send to with the neck off.
