Harley Benton PB-50 SB Vintage Series Reviews

Excellent Value

Really punchy sound! Gives that P Bass tone off really well.

Never mind the price this bass sounds awesome

Just took delivery of my pb50. Was intrigued by all the positive reviews online so figured I'll take a gamble on it as its only just over €100. First impression are the bass sounds fantastic. 1 slightly dead fret but I can fix that quickly. Other than that highly recommended. A little TLC and this bass is a humdinger (never mind for the money) it's a really good bass.

Super value bass

For such a low price this bass really is excellent. My fret ends are now sticking out so it needs a bit of attention but that happens to much more expensive guitars, for the money this is hard to beat. It looks cool too!

Buy this bass guitar

I'd bought a couple of Harley Benton products before, so I knew the build quality was exceptional and the tone equally good too. So, when I saw the price of this bass, I couldn't resist buying it - I was sure it would be as good as other much more expensive basses that I had (and would now be able to offload at a profit). It was a no brainer. I wasn't disappointed. This bass is such fantastic value. Don't waste your money on a Fender, this one's just as good!

Good for the price

Bought this to just use for bassline ideas, but actually been using this in productions. The sound is pretty good for the price, even though it has an annoying plastic sound sometimes, but with mixing u can remove that. So might not be the best if u buy for live performances purily. Plays good also. IMO the best beginner bass / bass for this price range.

So good!

I purchased this bass and some drum hardware to fill out my burgeoning home studio while keeping the costs low. The gear arrived in excellent condition and has worked wonderfully thus far. I’ve noticed a lot of folks mention replacing the pickup, I see no reason as it is sufficiently loud and clear.

10/10 Workhorse bass that plays as well as it looks (which is excellent).

If you're looking for vintage tone and looks with a low pricetag,this is it..

The Rosswel pick up has a higher output than the original. But that's a good thing(for me). Great bass low price. Super!!

Incroyable pour ce prix!

En vérité j'avais besoin d'une basse de décoration pour mon salon, que je pourrais utiliser de temps en temps ( j'ai d'autres basses). Je ne m'attendais pas à quelque chose d'exceptionnel mais pour ce prix, la finition est impeccable, le son est top, la jouabilité super. Petit bémol sur la finition des frettes au bord de la touche, ça faire un peu. J'ai fait une vidéo sur Youtube, sous le nom de Marco E.B.

Le manche est très clair, une petite teinte vintage aurait été sympa, mais c'est du pur esthétisme.

A ce prix c'est vraiment, vraiment sympa !

A great P-Bass!

This is a great bass. I own a vintage 70’s Fender P-Bass and this one holds its own with that instrument. The neck is very comfortable, nicely finished and great to play. The pickup is sweet, I’m going to keep it all stock, no mods necessary. I didn’t have to do anything to it. It’s my go to bass right now.

Great piece of kit!

For £99 you can own a really great bass guitar. I love the Old School vib, and it sounds great. You cannot go wrong for this price!

Amazing quality for a budget bass

That 50s sound both a thumping lows and bright highs by a turn of one knob is absolutely fun, very playable

Great vintage feel and amazing value

Great vintage look and feel to this bass, with a deep sound and great playability. Very well put together with a quality feel. So much bass for the money!!!

Rost ist kein Problem?

Keine Qualität und Kontrolle.

Ich kaufe schon ein paar Bässe und alle haben gravierende Mängel.

Dieser kam mit rostigen Adaptern und vielen Kratzern. Der Support hat mir gesagt, dass es kein Problem ist und ich den Rost selbst entfernen kann ???

Ich werde jetzt Gitarren von einem anderen Geschäft kaufen.

The most amazing value bass

It is total unbelievable how great this bass is for the money; fit and finish is great, setup well straight out of the box with great acoustic resonance. Highly recommended!

Great product at this price range

This is my second PB-50, they are well built, solid and sound pretty good with the one pickup. Roswell Pickups are a well made brand, all in all this is a deal too good to pass up. I have a half dozen HB guitars/basses and love them all.

Great Bass for the money

The pickup sounds very good for a 100 Euro Bass.

Great value for the money.

I am so glad I ordered this one! It has changed my preferences. Now I love fat necks and sound. This bass have them and it sounds great with my Ampeg! Even better than my Ibanez RB630 from 1984! It needs some leveling of the frets as the action cannot be lowered but everything else is just fine for the price! It is even lighter than most of the bases I owned. Which is very good for my back! :) Awesome!

Sounds like my old 67 P bass

Love this sound. Fitsright in with both blues and rock. Very happy!

Best Deal

Much more than expected , I was going to mod , but its not necessary. Great bass beats a squier by quite a bit.

a really great instrument for the buck

I got this because I wanted a 50s P-bass without the outrageous Fender price and it's quite good. a bit on the heavy side and the neck is rather thick, but it's easy to get used to. the pickup sounds surprisingly good and I had a great experience as far as fit and finish go. highly recommended
