My bro the guitard sent me a pic of this new breed of shorty. Came here to see what the HB fanbois think 😁

Id never considered a shell pink bass before, but it looks the prettiest of the bunch. 

 

Looks nice here, somehow thomman felt the need to photograph it under orange light and it doesn't look so good there!

I am firmly in that camp. 

That is if 'fanbois' means what I think it means. Sounds like a French cheese.

The sunburst finish one looks surprisingly amazing! https://harleybenton.com/product/mv-4msb-gotoh-sb/

 

 

Will no doubt grab one of these at some point.

 

Also the person who complained about the headstock, as far as I am concerned the Harley Benton headstock shape looks far better than the Fender one, that is it actually looks great, unlike the Fender one.

 

Also appreciate the much flatter fretboard radius to the Fender one, and overall look.

Not yet. But it's on my watchlist. Gonna pull the trigger as soon as finances allow.

I keep looking at this and wondering what it is I like so much. I think it's the tort and blocks....

 

Hmmmm.... maybe I should get some block inlays stickers and a tort guard and put them on my Betsy? 🤔

 

So, having decided it WAS the blocks I liked, I decided to pimp my Betsy! Saved me £200 and it's lighter with better pickups!
