PB-20BK LH Standard Series : Harley Benton P-Bass Copy.

6 years ago

I was more than pleasantly surprised by this bass. I bought it on a whim as I had loved their jazz bass copy which I bought second hand for practically nothing and gigged into the ground. For such inexpensive instruments Harley Benton seriously know how to produce a bass that is worth atleast 5 times what you pay for them. I have used their jazz bass copy for over 2 years and their P-bass copy since I received it a month ago and I have never had a singly problem with them despite gigging with them regularly and having them thrown under busses, planes and on the floor on occasion.

Pros:

Frets are all level and neck is smooth with no marks or dents

Tuning pegs are smooth and surprisingly strong and sturdy

The single P-bass pickup is hotter and much better than anticipated

Looks really cool too

Cons:

It's considerably lighter than my other basses and the wiring of the pots and pickup are fairly thin but they're easily replaceable so this isn't really much of a con.

Overall this is a fantastic inexpensive bass that it worth it's weight in gold, it's hard to find a reasonably priced lefty P Bass and this ticks all the boxes for me as a fantastic instrument, cheers!
