Harley Benton PB-50 SB Vintage Series

AMAZING - simply ah. maze. zing.

I was blown away by the quality of this build! The pickups are super punchy. The body, tuners, and knobs are very solid feeling. The only thing that really needed adjustment when I received it was the strings and nut - the stock strings did not have the sound I wanted so I put some DR Low Riders on, had to file the nut slightly to accommodate for them. This bass sounds seriously good - so much GROWL!

Well, what can you expect for that amount of money?

I bought this just by curiousity, and I can’t say I was suprised. Frets were sharp and undressed, some of them were even loose. Neck feels rough, and the truss rod was not very cooperative. The tuners were bad. Two of them were defect. The pickup was raised too close to the strings, and produced a heavily distorted sound. When lowering it, it lost too much volume and lows. I replaced the neck with a cheap, unbranded one from ebay, replaced the pickup with a Seymour Duncan, replaced the bridge with a Fender two-saddle string through body bridge, got better tuners, and original Fender pickup and bridge covers. Fun project, which turned out very nice, but ended up at 5 times the cost of the bass itself. Straight out the box, it wass useless.

Great bang for the Buck!

Not everyone’s favorite… great for recordings. A lot of character.

PB50

Excellent quality for the price, shipped in adequate time, nicely packaged. Sounds better than expected.

This is worth triple the price

I've never been a Fender-style bass guy, and I warmed up only recently to the idea.

I thought i would be getting a mediocre bass with this but QUITE THE OPPOSITE!

It's a beautifully solid piece, perfect for pop punk and punk rock.

The neck is smooth, and the tone is mindblowing.

Couple it with a decent stomp box and you have a bass that is worth easily triple his price!

Wonderful vintage precision sound and action at a fraction of normal prices wonderful workmanship frets needed a little work as

If you are looking for a nice playing bass that sounds vintage and correct finishes flawless very pleased with their products

the tune controls are cheap and the frets wear off a bit fast but very good sound for the price

very satisfied

very satisfied using this bass, there are almost no complaints while playing in the room or on the big stage. this is good bass. cheap and very good

Classic Rock and then some...

I've been playing guitar since the 60s and then picked up bass during Covid. I have about six basses so far, some high end and some very inexpensive ones. I have built a few kits so far and I am aware of "fit and finish". Anyhow, this is actually a very good bargain for both a beginner and professional. The only thing I have done is change strings to my liking and adjust string height at the bridge with a radius gauge. The fret ends are smooth. The pickup output is astonishing. There is no hum or line noise at volume. I totally enjoy picking it up and pounding away on it as it is quite comfortable and consistent up and down the fretboard. It's like your favorite jeans that feel just right.
