Harley Benton PB-20 BK Standard Series Reviews

Awesome Bass

I've only had to other basses and haven't kept them long because I couldn't really get interested in it, but this bass with it's matching sister the ST-20 are a great pair

this bass has punch and a great sound for any bass player or learner it's a great price for the quality you get. I would highly recommend the PB-20 along with the ST-20 as they look great side by side.

Great bass at a great price

Lovely bass guitar - great option for the starter and more experienced guitarist. I use this in my school and all my students really enjoying playing it. It is durable and stays in tune very well. Highly recommend!

Good, cheap bass

I bought this bass two years ago. So here is a long term review.

Quality: The frets are ok, all other parts well made. I play very strong and rough with plec, but the bass still stays long in tune.

I would recommend to give it to a guitar builder to set the bass properly up as mine was not when I got it. The original strings are not really good, I cahnged them straight away.

Sound: Typical precision sound and definitly the best part of this bass. Strong and powerful

You get with this instrument a good, reasonably priced copy of the legendary precision. I recommend this one for beginners with a low budget. If you have a bit more, have a look at the squier prec. basses.

Price wise

Its a very good base guitar and excellent use for people who want to learn bass. It has good clear sound and easy pick . i recommend the above to teenagers who are forming their bands and they do not want to pay too much in instruments but they want to have a good live sound.

Ok if you're on a budget

If you absolutely must have a bass and you have very little money then this is your choice. Otherwise stay away. Out of the box it needed lots and lots of adjustment. Intonation was all wrong, tuning was all wrong, neck was like an S-curve. Pickups did sound acceptable. Came with a $1 cord and the tools you need to set it up. So after a few hours of adjusting it now plays almost acceptable, a little rattle and action is sky high, but works if your demands is fairly low. On the otherhand it was very cheap, even cheaper than a build-it-yourself-kit so perhaps you can't expect so much.

for the band

i got this for my bassis in my band after looking about it sounds and looks grate , my bassist pefers this one to the more exspensive ones over all grate .

Very good sound

Yeah, I needed this bass just for one reason. Practice at home. But it sounds really cool like for that price. When you change pick-up it can be realy nice bass guitar. So, yes. DiMarzio at this Christmas please :)

Amazing bass guitar!

This is a perfect instrument for recording and live performance. I can tell that it's made of high quality materials giving a really professional sound! feels really confortable when I play. It's very light and resitant, perfect for gigs.

Great Starter

I bought this bass for my niece as a starter guitar. The weight and feel are excellent and the sound quality is good also. Also,the standard format will mean that I can upgrade the electronics etc. (if needed) at a later dat, as she becomes more competant with the bass.

brilliant value p-bass

Brilliant value P-Bass for less than a replacement neck for my floppy squire.

Good build quality, set up, and finish, plays well and sounds good too

pu output is a bit lower than my squire.

I may swap pickups etc at some stage but it's well worth the modest price

you wont be disappointed

Ignore the price. It really is better than the price reflects it should be. As a guide I would suggest rating this guitar against others in the £200 to £250 price range. Even then it comes out on top.

Great sound . Superb quality of construction. Pick ups are great. No lag when using usb adapter on Mac. Once I added some polished strings it became my best Bass. I could not be happier. Oh and service to the UK was fast.
