B-650 Black Progressive Series : I'm Glad I Did!

I bought this bass on impulse, as I wanted to get back into 6 string bass playing, but didn't have a lot of money to spend. Ordinarily I would have investigated in depth spoken to people that owned one, and definitely demoed one! That wasn't the case here, I'd never heard of Harley Benton before, I didn't know anyone that owned one, and going to Germany to try one out wasn't really on the cards at the time, so I closed my eyes and pressed "checkout". A few days later my bass lay waiting for me when I got home. I was very pleasantly surprised, the first thing you notice is how good it looks, it's not too heavy, and how well put together it is. When I first connected up to my practice amp even the tone straight out of the box was usable, and it it didn't take much to dial in the sound I was looking for with no annoying electrical hum from the active electronics.

I have gigged this bass quite a bit, and it has never let me down, so if you're working to a tight budget, but don't want to sacrifice quality or features I would wholeheartedly recommend the Progressive Series range of basses.
