Harley Benton PB-Shorty BK Standard Series 5-stars Reviews

NICE ACTION AND GREAT INTONATION KEEPS TUNE!

I am normally guitarist and needed bass for recording and I have weak fingers not strong and this Harley Benton PB Shorty was perfect for me.

A great bass with not too long neck and easy nice playing pressing down strings to frets and also very impressing is the intonation and keeping the tune for long time. When you have tuned it it stays in tune and as mentioned previous, the intonation is very good on every fret. Good design and nice quality for the price! Anders/Musician Entertainer.

Amazing instrument

..I play in a small hard rock/heavy metal band, and through the "Ashdown" amp this bass has enough power and playability to power its way through anything. Perhaps even armageddon. Or not. But still, it's a very strong bass, and it lasted three shows absolutely faultlessly, without a backup (which I admit was brave). Good finish, excelent sound, brilliant playability. I loved using this, and I still use it at home for the occasional thrash around when the epi's feeling a little fragile, or warming up for a gig..

Great bass

I originally bought this for teaching on for pupils, as my own sometimes just smothers the kids and it's really heavy. This arrived and really had to be set up as you could "limbo" dance under the strings. (There was a label in the box saying it had been quality checked??) After adding a shim to the neck pocket and lowering the bridge, the action was a lot lower. Intonation was reset and wow what a lovely instrument. Quite honestly before I would of gave it a 3, maybe 4 stars (taking into account of it's price), but as you can see it's now a 5 on everything. I am very very happy with this now and may even use it on an occasional stand in gig. it is amazing what a 30 min set up/ service can do.

Nice second Bass

I am a working bass player and wanted this as a spare bass to take to gigs with the possibility of playing a few of our more funkier songs on it. I am really impressed with it considering its very modest price tag. Set up and playable straight out of the box (once i'd removed the protective film from the pickups and scratchplate) it has a nice feel and is extremely light in weight compared to the Fender Precision I normally play. Good finish and the fittings are of a reasonable quality. The action is impressive and I found it really easy to play. How they knock out instruments like this at the price i'll never know! If you are a guitarist who plays occasional Bass, a beginner or like me fancied a short scale as a spare for gigging this Bass is for you.
