Harley Benton HBO-850 Bass Black 5-stars Reviews

Best buget bass ive used

I got a loan of my freinds one and it was so good i actually bought this. The tone and playability is right up there with my ibanez and fender "must be the mahogany neck" not to mention the comfort of it whilst sitting, the Roundback with cutaway is so comfortable for me. My freind gave me his one to setup for him but there was little needing done...very suprising for the price. Plugged in to my A100 amp its supprising how good onboard eq is. Tuner works great too i checked it with my Boss TU-3. really great not just for a beginner bass, just cant beat the price for quality and tone.

solid friend

impressive outlook, ok strings, a bit uncomfy on lap at first, needs string. worth every penni

An impressive surprise

For a budget model, it sounds remarkably nice.

It resonates easily, it's lightweight yet it doesn't feel cheap. Recommended.

Great Feel And Sound For Less $$$

Very Impressive Instrument with great sound features .

Great bass

Great looking and sounding bass Great for accoustic sessions and in garden playing. Love it

Awesome, this is a really outstanding entry point acoustic bass.

It does exactly what its supposed to and does it well. Accidentally brought two and there are some minor differences in build quality around the 'sound holes'; both were rough and one hole on one guitar had a little nick but seriously for the money... its not like something that makes a difference or isn't easily fixed. One arrived in tune like it had been tested the other had never been tuned probably so maybe a quality control issue I would never have known existed if I hadn't brought two. Both outer boxes were damaged, one had a hole right through it and out the other side - thankfully not where the bass was, maybe consider using a more delicate parcel service?

When you don't want the noise

I wanted some campsite music without having the need to plug in. Having said that, I bought this bad boy acoustic bass and could not be happier! Overall build quality is very good. I may replace the tuners a little later as I believe this is the weakest part about the guitar. It doesn't stay in tune after a few hours of play, but not a deal breaker. The guitar is very resonant, almost boomy when plugged into my Fender Rumble 100 amp. Not a bad thing, just an observation. If anything happened to my guitar I would definitely buy another without hesitation. The value is unsurpassed!

Great Bass

Great Amazing Bass For The Price Point

the tuner's are however complete and utter garbage

here's a better idea harley benton

ur guitars and bass's are a great upgrade platform value

how about u keep the junk pot metal tuners next time and just discount the bass accordingly,i think u would be suprised how many orders you would get for guitars without tuners, pickups, or even bridges because players tend to swap these components out regardless and we're just filling up landfills with poor quality pot metal hardware that shouldn't be wasted in the first place

maybe offer 1 or 2 models to guage the interest

but offer them finished but without the low quality electronics/tuners

allowing the customer to add there own

however make stipulations where customer's can't modify the tuner peg hole's stuff like that for your return etc

or make the product non returnable

but offer one strat or single cut style guitar but without the low quality stuff loaded and have that also be reflected in the price of the product and i think you would be suprised

it would be like opening up a harley benton custom shop

but on a reasonably priced scale

so long story short the stock tuner's are about to go in the trash in canada

had to replace them with Profile tuners, bass plays amazingly well after i oiled the fretboard and it's time to slappa da bass

Acoustic Bass

Fancied an acoustic bass, and the Harley Benton HBO-850 looks great.

Fit and Finish on arrival was good

Fitted with some Flatwound Strings for the warm n woody sound like an upright .... Real Nice Tone

Good quality for the price.

Great acoustic bass, feels and sounds nice. The finish very good and only had to tweak the truss rod to combat a bit of fret buzz, now spot on, action good and intonation perfect. Tuner works ok and eq is good. Amazing bass for the money, playing along side bongos and mandolin jams and sounds great.

Amazing, i love it and it's awesome for the price it has. The only bad thing is the piezo mic that has a bit too few bass frequency but it's still enjoyable

Unbeatable for it's price

Needed a bass to travel with and got this one. I wasn't expecting such a great bass for the price I paid for. I love this bass and really enjoyed playing it for the past 5 weeks whilst traveling. I will definitely spend more time playing this bass as I have another 2 Fender electric basses.

Like riding a moped, great fun till your friends find out.

Most people think that playing a cheap acoustic bass is lame. No it isn't!

Theses basses are great. They are well made sturdy and unlike most have a body that is halfway between the size of a normal acoustic bass (cumbersome) and a normal electric making it a dream to play and stoll about having a party all to yourself.

I don't know about you but I can't help but groove once I donned my new Harley Benton Acoustic Bass.

It now lives in the littlest room in the house so I can funk whilst I dump.
