PB-20 SBK Standard Series : Decent bass for the buck

5 years ago

I've been playing for a while but wanted a P bass to mess around with. I've seen alot of unboxing/review videos of this bass and figured i'd give it a shot for the price. I also started back in the day with another house brand P bass so wanted to see what Harley Benton offered.

The Good :

- Quality : Came ready to use, not adjutsments required just some tuning. It feels like a slightly more expensive guitar then it really is.

- Finish : Matt black finish is really nice, looks great and feels good.

- Sound : Considering the price i was expecting a little grotty tone, but it's pretty decent. Gives that punchy P bass sound with no problem.

The nit nicking (not cons just meh)

- Neck Width : For a 4 string the neck width (E-G) is wider then your average 4 string, it's closer to a 5 string. It's not unmanageable but suprising as it doesn't seem to add anything.

Overall for £85 you can't go wrong, its a good bass and if you don't mind not having a famous brand it'll probably last you a while.
