Harley Benton B-30NT Acoustic Bass Series 4-stars Reviews

Good to start practicing acoustic bass

HB B-30 NT BASS.

This bass (which I will convert to a Low 'B') is, for me, a much better bass than the B-35 -- the strings on the B-35 are much too close together for comfortable playing. It's a pity that they put such a heavy coating of polyurethane on the soundboard -- this I will remove, right down to the bare wood, then apply one single thin coat of yacht varnish;; after stripping out the piezo strip pickup and replacing it with a magnetic jazz pickup, this will be a true ACOUSTIC that can also be played through an amp -- a good bass at an affordable price!

great for beginners!

i bought this for a friend, and he's had it now for a few years. he's very happy with it.

it's not the easiest instrument to play, but damn it's good for getting those, all important, left hand muscles working when you're a beginner. for sure, it is worth the asking price!

pros: price, construction, come with good strings, preamp and tuner

cons:

a bit hard to play
