SO MUCH BASS FOR THE MONEY!!

Bought it for my beloved for Christmas as we both play guitar and they play bass as well but didn't have one. It needed a slight setup but it's so god damn nice! The frets are great, the sound is beautiful! Love the fact that you can use it active or passive, and it looks so damn good! They were so happy when they received it! Been playing it late into the night ❤️

I'm in love with this bass. It was my first bass and alongside my other 2 it's still my favorite. Very good sound and I love the passive/active knob. When you dont have a battery you just pop the knob and all good!

Amazing

This bass is just brilliant, I’ve had many basses over the years but can honestly say this is my favourite. My 6th Harley Benton and definitely won’t be the last. Top Quality

Powerful guitar!

Very well made, some very slight defects in paint on the back but after I contacted the store they made it right. Sound is great with the active pickups. Lots of different tones can achieved with small adjustments of the pots. The halfway indents are great for adjusting. Changed out the strings for a different brand that I prefer. Did a set up and intonation and that was it, ready to go!

Great for the price

So this bass is plenty flexible for my needs and so far has played pretty much as I expected. The pickups have a growl to them and the fretboard feels comfortable for my hands. I honestly don't know if I would use this bass in a live setting but for recording phrases and lines for my own projects this really fits the bill.

my first bass guitar and what a great choice

It looks very classy in white. The neck is ultra comfortable. I expected a bass guitar neck to be really fat but this isn't. I usually play in passive mode and have done dozens of gigs like this - I guess I don't want to worry about batteries dying. I'd buy another Harley Benton in a heartbeat. In fact, my next purchase is likely to be the six string version of this bass.

Probably the best in the pricepoint

My first bass, actually. Then i bought a Warwick.

It's extremely good for the price you pay. Never had a problem with tuning, and the fretboard feels very good. Slapped a pack of coated strings on it and been going strong for years. It's beautiful, the inlays are very cool, the sound from its double humbuckers is perfectly fine, and the fact that it's active/passive means i'm never gonna find myself in an awkward situation. Packs a bite

Now concerning the negatives, i only really have one. The neck and the first pickup don't really leave enough space between them for someone to double pluck. You can play slap, yes, but it's just a bit more limiting for my taste.

All in all though, this is probably the best bass a beginner could buy, and a bass that even someone with more experiance could really enjoy
