Harley Benton MM-84A SB Deluxe Series

Excellent

Love this bass. A bit tricky for slap as neck pick up in the way but I got used to it and really love this bass

Powerful Possibilities

I have several basses Marcus Miller, Fender and this one is surprisingly unique in its delivery character. For the price it is beyond its weight in gold. Fantastic lows and the mids are sweet. I don't care to much for treble high tone on any bass. I love it

Meh

This bass has a lot going for it, but the frets were most uneven, and the edges were sharp. I'm having to level and crown the frets and dress those edges. I expected to set the intonation and action; I didn't expect to deal with extensive fret problems

Great Sound And Quality

I own a Sterling Ray 34 bass And Harley Benton MM-84A SB Deluxe I own very comparable and much lighter in weight .

Like multiple basses in one

Wow...Superb finish and great looks at first glance but when I plugged into my amp I knew I had everything I needed from a bass…MM-84A is a beast! Wow! If I could give it one more star I would...Well, here we go! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Obscene Bass

For what it cost i cannot find a single fault, even if it cost 4 times as much.

Superb quality and build, finish... what a neck, fretwork perfect.

And yes it has the Stingray Growl.

Buy one now.

Great value and feel of the bass.

I love this bass. The quality is there and amazing sound. Even though it has a bit less in money, it’s totally worth it.

Great bass - awesome value for money

Well, my Harley Benton MM-84A SB Deluxe just arrived - took exactly a week from Germany to the UK.

First impressions; it was tuned down a whole step - that's fine. Tuned up, some buzz on all strings. Adjusted truss rod and all OK now.

No sharp fret ends - not rounded nicely, but certainly not bad at all.

Tuners are nice to turn. Thought it would have more meat to the output - then again, I'm using it through an interface into Ampeg SVT Suite v1.10 and put through monitors.

Controls are nice and smooth - stiff with the half way notch so you know when the Bass, Treble and Mid are at the mid points.

Pickup selector is smooth too.

Pretty impressed considering it was £155 delivered.

You may need to do some tweaking.

I received my Harley Benton MM-84A SB Deluxe Series two days ago so here are my initial thoughts. First of all the thing looks superb. The maple fretboard is a nice touch and has no sharp frets. The action was way too high for me so I had to do a little tweaking of the bridge saddles and truss rod to get it set up to my liking. This wasn't much of an issue and they even supply the correct tools for the job in the box. Then I plugged it in and that's where the disappointment started. Firstly the jack plug wasn't connecting properly. I had to pull the jack out by a couple of millimeters to make a good connection. Secondly, the selector switch crackled and cut out the sound every time I touched it. So I removed the covers and cleaned everything out and it seems to have done the trick. I'm still not sure that the jack plug is 100% but it's easier for me to install a new one than send the bass back. The only other issue is that the pickups on this thing are red hot. The amount of output is extreme even with the -15db switch pressed on my amp. To remedy this I had to wind the pickups down until they were almost level with the body. But having said all that, once the bass was set up properly this thing sings and has an excellent range of tones. So in summation, an excellent instrument at an absolutely unbelievable price, but you may have to do some work to get it how you want it.

Excellent Bass

I wanted a second bass and since I have a jazz I went with this EB style bass and am very happy with it. It plays very well out of the box. I love all the different sounds I can get out of it with the double humbuckers that have split coil options and the 3 band eq. Very good action out of the box too and the fretwork and rolled edges on the neck are awesome!! I am very happy with this bass and highly recommend it.
