Harley Benton PB-20 BK Standard Series

Good with some work/fun project.

Mine came with broken saddles and sharp fret ends, but somehow felt good to play. Changed the saddles for brass ones, filed down fret ends and rounded them and fretboard edges slightly, reseated a slightly lifted fret, shielded the electronics, made and installed a half degree 1mm shim, added a string tree that also held down the A string, changed the strings and gave it a setup. It's now a quiet and comfortable bass, that was fun to work on. Budget instruments have really come a long way! I used the strings that came with the bass through all the modifications, and thought they where decent enough.

Solid Instrument for the Price

I had this instrument for a couple of years as a temporary substitution. This bass guitar needed some setting up upon arrival, and I'm talking about dealing with the sharp fret ends and rubbing some oil into the fretboard, as it was quite dry. But once this was done, the bass became playable, and I had an awesome time playing it. Recently, I've given it away, but frankly, I could've kept it as there was nothing wrong with it. So, if you want to have a bass for a fraction of the price and are willing to learn basic techniques of guitar maintenance, then this bass is going to cut it.

Very good for beginners

I ordered this bass as a birthday present for my girlfriend who wanted to start playing, and i picked this one specifically because of how good it sounds and looks. The build quality is also solid and i should mention that it came in near perfect condition. The only drawbacks i can name are that it definitely needs some fret polishing and fine tuning if you want to get the most out of it. Overall solid beginner bass.

Can’t beat x price

I’ve spend less than $130 in improvements (pickups,bridge etc.)

and some TLC with the neck and it’s competes with $1k basses . Can’t believe it!! .

Amazing for it's price

Great bass for it's money! Great sound, quality and general feel. Absolute must if you can't afford a high-end instrument.

crazy value for money, perfect finishing, very nice fretboard, unbeatable at that price.

Better than you'd expect

For this price cant be beat.

Good sound for the price. can't ask for much more

First Electric Bass

This is my first ever bass. Many years after it's still like brand new (even the strings). Every time someone is interested in learning bass and wonders what to get I show them this one. It's super good quality for super low price. #1 choice for new students :)

Great for it's price

Everything you could ask for for a cheap price in a great quality
