RB-414CS Classic Series : My Favorite Bass

I'll admit that what caught my eye was the beauty of this instrument.

But, as my wife reminded me, I didn't need another bass—four was more than enough. I bought it anyway, explaining to her that it had features and style that set it apart from the others, blah blah blah.

When it showed up, I was again stunned by the beauty of it. The playability was completely satisfying and, when I brought it to band practice and played it, my bandmates claimed it had the best sound of all my instruments. Some of these guys have 50+ years of band experience, so their opinions matter to me.

The Harley Benton RB-414Cs is now my "go to" bass for playing in my band. And, I have to say, I still think it's beautiful.
