PB-50 SB Vintage Series : IT IS LEGAL?

5 years ago

Listen, I already have several instruments from Harley Benton and I was expecting another high quality and good instrument, but I really fell in love with this bass! Don't get me wrong, but there is something very special about this bass - some unique and cool tone. I have always preferred P-bass, but I am little familiar with the sound of the original bass from the early 50s, maybe this is the case - the sound is warm, enveloping, in a good way vintage. Moreover, I did not expect such a variety of tones from just one pickup - the potentiometers do change the sound a lot.

But there are also things that will be uncomfortable at first and will have to get used to - a thick neck, which is not very friendly to beginners or super-fast play, and the lack of thumb support over the pickup due to the fact that the pickup is short, but this is solved by installing a thumbrest.

This is a bass with a pronounced character and it's hard not to love it!
