Harley Benton B-550LH BK Progressive Series Reviews

Happy? Very!

It has been 3 years now. And I still am fascinated by its push/pull active/passive volume knob. It has a pickup selector button that, if ever, was also a push/pull hum to single coils, would make its features go to 7 stars. The neck pickup is close to a pbass sound too. I love the finish but had to finish up the fret ends. Its action can be lowered to a level that you cannot believe it doesn’t buzz.

Overall. You will never regret getting this bass.

Amazing !!

The bass came in almost excelent condition. the only thing that threw me off was that the fretboard was dryed out. other than that it was in perfect shape. the vage sounds that come off that instrument are massive. the set up was on point. good mainly for metal and heavy sounds but also it can get the job done exelently in clean genres as well. it is a bit heavier than a strat style guitar (harley benton st 20) witch that means for a bass it is extremely light. the only things i would propably change is the knobs on the pots because they dont have indicators for the turn amount

edit: the audio jack metalic shielding is kinda sticking out a bit from the side contour of the body but its not sharp

Would not buy it again

The product stopped working soon after I received it. It also arrived with a couple of scratches. It was one of the cheaper options for a reason.

great instrument for the price!

easy to set up and great mod platform

Real Bass

This is a real bass for the money.I play guitar but wanted a bass in the studio and this does the job.I will be a happy camper for a good while.

Good bass for the price... Change strings to Elixirs to get more definition! It's OK, for the money!

Very light and playable bass guitar...

Beautiful sound

This was my first five string bass and has turned out to be a guitar I pick up and practice on daily , it’s a very comfortable instrument to practice on and has a great range of tone .

Great bass

The bass guitar was quality for the price.

amazing

outstanding for the price, buy one and you won't be disappointed

Wow...

I am blown away at the quality of this bass for the price.

The Good:

-sounds great

-neck is smooth and very comfortable

-the installed preamp sounds amazing for the price

The (few) negatives:

-small finish flaw on the headstock (not even worth photographing, rest of the finish was perfect)

- fret ends a little sharp (easy to fix on my end)

- Rosewood fretboard is super dry, picking up some lemon oil to treat it tonight.

All in all the negatives are few and minor, I would definitely buy this bass again and suggest it to others as it plays well and sounds great. If I didn't know what i spent on it, I would have guessed at least 2-3x the price.

Cheers
