Harley Benton B-650 Black Progressive Series Reviews

Very good six string, very good price.

I bought this on a whim, thinking it'd be "Awrite" and a bit "quirky". When I recieved it though, I was delighted to find that it was not a cheap and nasty bass, but a cheap and well made bass.

It has a great feeling neck, very smooth. The tuners stay in tune quite well, but the main show is the pickups. They deliver a rich tone, and are very versatile. You can easily get a trebbely Jazz tone using the bridge pickup on passive setting. THen change over to a deep and warm tone with the active system aswell.

All in all this is a great bass at an incrediable price, I'd reccomend it to anyone that is looking for a 6 string, on a budget.

Amazing what you get for the money

I needed a 5 string bass but seeing the price difference of adding a 6th string I just went for the 6 stringed version.

I truly love have nice it is to play on and the sound is quite good to.

Just a few adjustment of the bridge was needed intone was also good

The main purpose of buying this bass was for recording and it grate for that

Harley Benton B-650 Black

this is an instrument i am sort of familiar with .

i bought a five string version of this guitar six months ago ..and thought that it was a great instrument ..and am very happy with that .. i didn't really think that there would be any difference between then.. and i was right .. yes you have a low B .. but now i have the high c .. makes a difference when your writing songs and the ability to scale high down to low when your improvising .. has a greater range ..obviously you may say : )

but the cost is a huge appealing factor hear .. cheap budget poor quality instrument here is not the case .

this like all the harley benton range are superbly constructed ..well balanced ...reliable look good .. feel good ... and definitely sound good .. because you'd have to be a bit silly to buy one ..ie five string .. then a six string ..

i guess because i had the confidence knowing it would deliver .

the active pre amp makes it very responsive to all style of playing ..

weather finger style or plectrum .. in fact it makes it easier .

like i said it feels great to hold ..and for a six string neck i was very surprised to see and feel how easy it was still was to play .

All the hardware is robust ..

the tuning keys are very precise .

the neck is a very easy feeling to it .. this eases play .

It can also be used passive or active ..which is handy adding a wider variety of sounds .

the bolt on neck i particular like ..the rigidity enhances the sustain through the body .

the paintwork is of a high standard ..and looks up there with some of the more expensive guitars ..

I don't really have any negative comments on this instrument really .

i am happy with this guitar as i was happy with the previous ..

a very reasonable price ..

great for gigging ..recording .. a great all rounder .

i have no regrets ..and would easily and happily recommend this guitar to anyone .

another great priced instrument from H B .

three basses i have from H B and impressed with all of them at a great price as well ..

hope this gives you some insight to low end priced bass guitars .

i'm happy with mine ..

thank you harley benton : )
