Harley Benton HB-60 WB

Incredible value

After looking and listening to the reviews I made this purchase. It arrived in perfect condition and was actually playable out of the box. The sound is very nice, especially with a nice amp and good recording gear. Highly recommended. Believe the reviews. This thing is NICE!

Neck dive

It's an ok bass. But the neck drive for me makes in not playable

This bass is SO awesome

I love this bass and love the tone

Helemaal tevreden

Prijs/kwaliteit top gitaar, licht speelt gemakkelijk en supermooi. Wel nieuwe betere snaren erop leggen en pickups wat afstellen.

Astonishing value

Have had some experience of HB guitars (guitarist in my previous band had two, and swore by them) but this is my first purchase.

Superb build quality, way ahead of my expectations. Honestly I have seen worse on instruments three or four times the price from 'major' manufacturers. As always, that logo on the headstock costs you a LOT of money.

Plays very well with a good variety of sounds from the Gretsch-a-like pickups.

Only slight issues would be the rather quirky layout of controls, and the Hofner style floating bridge which I've never been a big fan of, but certainly does the job.

amazing for its price

Lovely bass with all its quirkiness. 4/5 that can easily be 5/5 with some small modifications. I kept mine like it is eventually.

Cracking bass guitar (and not just because of low low price!)

I love a semi-acoustic electric guitar or bass. Wanted one of these for a while and when I saw they were available again I snapped one up. Out of the box, it looked great.

Couple of very minor quality issues - had to tighten the knobs a bit (easy job with a small allen key). One of the pickups is a bit rattly in its housing so I'll fix that at some point. I may also get a tune-o-matic bridge put in, but not in any great hurry: existing one is not a problem if you accept its inherent limitations.

Some personal adjustments: I put some flats on it, and it sounds fantastic. I need to file the nut a bit so they sit a bit better but to be honest, after six months I've got used to it. Neck is a bit fatter than I usually like but that's personal preference not a quality issue. I've also got used to that too. I sanded some of the gloss finish off the neck so it's super smooth and silky. Adjusted truss rod slightly to suit my preferences.

But no complaints. For a £200 guitar this is amazing, and in itself, I really, really like it for the soulful/60s thump style I bought it for. If you're thinking of trying a semi-hollow body, get one of these. Terrific guitar.

Absolutely impressive, it's just GORGEOUS!!

I seriously can't believe it. It's not perfect but oh god is it nice. Sounds very smooth, although I recommend putting some better quality strings, it's plays easily, and for the price I'm still impressed. Goodjob HB once again!!!
