Harley Benton JB-62CC SFG 5-stars Reviews

Great Cheap Beginner Bass

This bass is a good beginner bass for up and upcoming novice bassists. The finish is not exactly same all around but it is a minor issue for me.

Wowzers

Bought with my eyes (love that colour) but my ears are very happy too

I have basses that cost several times more than this did, but are they several times better? Definitely not.

This is a keeper!

So great I named it

Straight out of the box I was impressed by this bass. The colour is great and the paint finish is flawless. The neck has a smooth satin finish and the fretwork is excellent. The tuners turn smoothly and maintain the tuning. All the bass needed was tuning, the intonation was spot on and the action was quite low. The pots turn smoothly with a reassuring resistance. The volume pots allow gradual mixing of the pickups, while the tone pot works throughout its range from a thud to a bright tone. The bass weighs 4Kg and hangs nicely on the strap without neck dive.

I bought the 62 thinking I would need to change the tuners and the pickups to make it a good instrument, that simply isn't the case. I might change the pickups in the future just to try a different sound, but for now I'm happy just to play it.

In fact, I like this bass so much I named it.....everyone, meet Minty Green.

An excellent bass for its price

This bass was good to go straight out of the box. The color looks even better in person than it does in photos. It's more bright and rich. The neck is perfect, very comfortable. The bass stays in tune just fine. I was genuinely impressed with the overall quality and sound, because this was my first (but definitely not the last) Harley Benton ever. These guitars are seriously good.

Excellent sound, look and feel.

This is a very striking looking bass, the headstock is the general HB shape however the seafoam green colour is just so good that I can't stop looking at it!

The tuners hold the guitar in tune very well and move nice and free.

The pickups are exactly what I wanted, they have a very Rickenbacker clanging growl to them which is great for playing Rush.

It doesn't feel heavy, the body is nice and contoured to a comfortable feel and there was a very little neck dive.

The neck itself is so nice to look at and so smooth that it feels like butter to play.

All in all this is a very nice bass with a great vintage sound, the seafoam green is beautiful and along with the premium looking bridge with its brass saddles, I'm very happy with it and suggest giving it a try.
