String Rattle

I took the plunge after buying the PJ BASS (TI Flats Added, Great).It came well packaged .The bass had no blemishes ,no dinks ,nothing to fault at all .I did all the checks ,neck relief ,fret levels etc ,and i still got rattle from the strings, i had to higher the action to just below 3mm at 12th fret to play it.It is great bass though ,everything feels smooth ,mine was a three piece body , only noticeable on the lower bout .Weight wise from what ive read is about 9.7 pounds.£145 quid at time of posting ,it's a no brainer.I never had this option 35 years ago when i started ,wish i had had ,iv'e been through some right catologue howlers

Amazing price! Amazing quality! Amazing sound!

This is a beautiful instrument. The craftsmanship is outstanding as well.

My only complaint is the weight. It is very HEAVY. But having said that, I would not hesitate to buy another bass guitar. In fact, I already did and it arrives tomorrow. Thanks again for the wondeful & affordable instruments.

Unbelievable

I'm floored that I was able to find a bass of this quality for the price...Fender doesn't have anything on Harley Benton....

It´s like having the original!

Great instrument with a flawless finish and great sound. The only complaint I have is the weight. A couple of kilos lighter would make this the best Jazz bass on the market

Quality Bass Guitar

Beautifully crafted bass. You can see and feel the quality of this instrument, and the Roswell pickups are powerful and punchy. The only thing that is a downside -for me- is the weight of the instrument, i find it pretty heavy but don't let this keep you from getting this awesome bass. A good wide strap will definitely help you

Amazing Bass!

Great tone, great neck, great look. Even the setup came with very good settings--with low action and a bit of fret growl--as I like it!

My only complaints are the pick guard screws were put in at a crooked angle. And there is a strong 60hz buzz when using only the bridge pickup. I think that is a standard issue even with fenders or any single coil pickup...so not really that bad.

I have become an HB fan!
