MB-4 SB Deluxe Series : Couldn't have asked for more

I'm getting back into the bass after about 10-15 years and needed something to help me get my footing back. This bass is just the right combination of quality and value for someone in my position.

Came out of the box with a pretty good setup, good action, smooth fret ends, just the kind of quality you don't expect in this price range.

Had it shipped to the East Coast of USA and it arrived without issue. Not as well packed as some of the competitors but well enough that it survived unscathed. It took about 2 weeks, but considering it crossed an ocean I can deal with that.

If had to give it a con it'd be the weight. I've never been a "sit down" player, just something feels right about practicing standing up, but the sheer weight of this bass has forced me to sit for longer practice sessions. Even though it's heavy it's not unbalanced, the neck mostly stays where you want it while it's on a strap.

Bottom line: The bass is a pleasure to play, it's affordable without being cheaply made and it looks great.

This is my first exposure to Harley Benton and I think you've won yourselves a fan.
