Harley Benton MB-4 SB Deluxe Series

Not a bad starter musical instrument but nothing more

I ordered the bass guitar at the end of January. In the almost two months since I've been playing it (2-3 hours every day) I've noticed some pretty serious wear on the frets - deep string marks on them. Overall, the bass is not bad, which can be used as a base for an upgrade. But if you need a refret that would cost as much as the bass, it's not worth it.

Wooow!

I've had a Stingray HH 2001 in Trans Orange, but it had a quiet G string no matter what I did, a neck like a baseball bat and a neck that needing tweaking every time the wind changed direction. I moved it on in the end, but always liked the ergos and tone. 90% of the Stingray tone if you are a bass anorak, an audience wouldn't notice. ... love the passive easy use electronics, the pup is incredibly hot, good variation on the tone, wonderful neck. The finish is faultless. I spent an hour on set up, as I do with every bass regardless of price point, didn't need much, touch off the nut, mere tweak of truss rod. It keeps tune impeccably, stable neck. Friendly of mine had a noodle on it not knowing it provenance, was blown away by it's ease of use and then imploded when told the price. All in all, just buy one enjoy. The usual great Harley Benton great quality.

Just exactly what I needed! Great value and great tones!

Nice guitar , love the tone

Although this sounds great the playability doesn't have the best action but very playable . Love the tone !

Can't complain

Ive played bass almost 20 years. Many instruments have came and gone in my journey, from ultra low end starter beginner guitars to ultra high end.

For the money you really can't complain. It sounds pretty decent , nice Stingray type growl . Perfectly suited with roundwounds. It's a good bass for the funk / rock. It's very fun to play. Hardware is cheap is flimsy . Pickup looks horrid but sounds good. Neck is on the wide side but easy and fast. Few blemishes on body. Fingerboard at body there is a couple of Millimeters gap. All is forgiven though. Great start up bass or a mod project / studio tool.

Totally useful for this price

This is an amazing bass especially for this price point. Quality and fretwork is really good. Pickup sounds balanced and responsive.

Only drawback for me is thick neck profile which some might prefer but I like slimmer and narrower neck profiles like jazz bass, this leans towards P bass neck profile.

I recommend this product if you don't mind thicker neck profiles, this bass is a steal for its price.

A cracking bass

For £110 what could possibly go wrong…?

NOTHING

Pretty much perfect out of the box. Looks great. Well made & fun to play. The perfect start for your bass journey

Wow

This thing is worth twice the price. Fret work is flawless. Pickup sounds ace. The finish is incredible.

A Wonderful Product!

This Bass holds remarkable value for the price. The quality is superb, and it sounds great! The controls allowed a lot more tonal versatility than I expected, and I can hardly put this bass down! I would recommend this bass to anyone!

Very versatile! I'm loving it.

I really like the flexibility of the split coil. Two volumes and a master tone. I can get a nice pbass sound if I favor the front part of the pickup, a really nice single coil if I favor the rear and a full on humbucker if you have both on and lots of craziness in between. Currently, I have the front volume down to about 80 percent and the rear volume to 90, tone knob 100 percent.
