Harley Benton MV-4JB Gotoh - Gotoh Bridge - Ernie ball Group 3 Flats - Hardcase included £190 Edinburgh

[Robert Manning]

Not good for the money just properly good. 

 

String with Ernie ball group 3 flats, nicely settled in and thumpy. 

 

I don't want to sell this because its incredible but you can see I have no space on the 10 rack... and she's actually getting annoyed with how many basses I have - so ill use the money to buy a pedal because I can hide that in a draw or something. 

 

Picked this up to practise Fret bevelling and levelling - turned out the frets were perfectly seated and level and didn't need it (which weirdly disappointed me because I was looking forward to doing that). I used a Chris Alsop Tools bevel file 45 degree angle - to make the edges ultra smooth. (which I did to all of my basses subsequently). it just means that the fret edges are nearly invisible feeling when navigating the neck. Same treatment as the 00's music man instruments and some vintage fenders. IYKYK!!! 

 

Specs are online. 

 

The neck feels like the 70s fat one...

 

Ive added a bass wood full contact shim in the neck pocket - don't be afraid - that's just so you can slam the action if you like... the goth saddles are a bit larder than the usual fender size. 

 

I have the Gotoh tuner cap... ill pop it back on

 

thanks!

That's a cool looking bass.

I think around 4.2ish but I'll confirm with digital scale soon and update the advert! 

 

cheers,

If it was a P I’d be all over that like a tramp on a bag of chips. Gorgeous and practically giving it away.
