PB-50 SB Vintage Series : What a corker!

OK! after selling all my bass gear last year when I could not get in a band, I get a call from old band mates to join them.

So there I was without a bass and little money to buy one.

I saw this at £80 in May and thought it would do for practising at home as it was cheap for a brand new bass.

When I unpacked the PB-50 I was blown away by the finish on the body (really beautiful colouring)

I was instantly impressed by the playability of the bass straight from the box, and she gave a nice vintage sound.

She did need some slight saddle adjustments and a loose tuner, and jack socket tightened, but that could happen on any bass.

Overall I was very impressed with the value for money this bass brings.

I recently bought back my old Ibanez soundgear 800sr and thought I would use the Harley Benton as a back up bass. NOT HAPPENING! I prefer the Harley and the sound is right for our band which plays Rock covers.

I'm actually thinking of buying another Harley Benton bass as I'm that impressed.

Go get one.

UPDATE! Had this Babe for 14 months now and she just keeps on going! The maple neck is darkening down nicely now due to using beeswax, and the body is now mirror like finish. Replaced the nut after the old one gave in after a small knock. And replaced the bridge for a Wilkinson in Black with brass saddles for great sustain.

If She got stolen? I'd buy another one with zero hesitation.
