Harley Benton PJ-4 HTR Deluxe Series

Unbelievable bass for this price.

I took a bass straight out of a box, tuned it, plugged it and played it for 20 minutes without giving her a proper look. It was playable out of the box. Action should be little adjusted (lowered). Only set up I did, I lowered strings on saddle for a half turn and truss rod for a 1/4 of turn. I like the tone. The neck has very enjoyable profile and hand just slides wherever you want your hand to be. And of course she looks gorgeous. What I didn't like is a little neck dive. Any decent strap will correct that, but I have to mention it. Pickups screws are weird to adjust pickup height. Right P-pickup was a third of centimetre too high and I realised that screws were kinda weird but I adjsuted a height without any problems. Tuners feel cheap but the bass stayed in tune since I initially tuned it so no need to get picky. I think this bass proves that there is a difference between “cheap” and “inexpensive or affordable “. It's a GREAT instruments for everybody. Of course, she has few flaws but even 15 time more expensive guitar has some other flaws. I've been playing giutars for 15 years and I'll tell you this is really good bass.I will play her live.

Better than your average budget bass

This is a great instrument - I'm a guitarist who needed a Bass in my studio for laying down basslines and for that this is great - i'm pretty sure it'd hold up in most environments though - it is obvs budget but feels better than a budget instrument - check out some video's online - pro bass players rate it pretty high tbf

Quality Bass for the price

I've played better basses, but I'm really impressed with how good this is for the price.

After setup it plays normal

Great for the price

It is a nice precision bass,PJ config, with a beautiful tone and playability. For the price and starts, it is all you need to study and develope your skills.

Amazing at this price

Really impressed.

Bought as a raffle prize for a charity event, but almost didn't want to give it away!

Smooth neck, great action straight out of the box and lots of tone options.

This would easily compete with a high end Squier or Epiphone bass all day.

Happy

Product as advertised, quick shipping, arrived in USA undamaged and ready to play. I am glad I went ahead with purchase. Actually thrilled.

Great Beginner Bass

I am a guitar player who wonders how to play bass. So checked Harley Bentons and decided to go with the PJ bass which combines P and J styles. The workmanship is great and the color is not bright red,instead it is cherryish which i love. The body and neck woods are great. out of the box setup is fine. you may consider change the pickups only in the future. it is below 150 Euros so strongly advice.

I Love This Bass!

I am a beginner bass player who never heard of Harley Benton until I check out videos of good budget beginner bass and HB was one of the basses feature and it got a great review so I decided to get one.

I love the way the bass looks and feels. As a woman in comfortable shoes with small hands I had to learn how to move around the neck. The price is great even with a $80 shipping charge to the US in Ohio. Still cheaper that a Squire by $100.

The quality is great ... very well made. How do they do it at the price they charge is beyond me. You can't go wrong getting this bass.

My first bass

This is my first and only bass :)

Feels good to play, and sounds good to my ears.
