Harley Benton RB-414CS Classic Series

This bass was okay. The sound was so so. Doesn’t sound like a Rick. The quality was really good and it plays pretty good. If you change the pickups it might be a good bass.

Beautiful Bass, Terrible fretwork

My RB-414CS arrived quickly and in perfect shape to California. Workmanship and finish was excellent. It also sounded great. The string action was a bit too high so I attempted to lower it a little. No luck! Any lowering of the action caused terrible fret buzz. I investigated with my fret rocker tool and discovered high frets all over the fret board. It appeared no fret leveling had been done. At the price point it may not be reasonable to expect good fretwork.

Looks the part.

Great value for money. required a bit of setting up no neck relief.

So so for the price.

I've had a couple Harley Benton electric guitars that I considered pretty good for the price you pay. This is the second Harley Benton bass I've bought and they both were duds. Especially when taking in to account the significant shipping cost to the US. The volume pots on this bass are horrible. You go from zero to full volume in less than a 1/4 turn. Sound is dull. In the US, you can do just as good or better at your local music store for the price I paid with shipping.

Could be better

Great looking bass let down by the neck which was bowed up ! and the bridge strings do not have individual adjustment. Fixed the neck with the truss rod and have got the bridge setting right. Bought this cos it looked so good , better than a Ric 4003, so ugly ! Now I have got it right I would give it 4 stars, shame it was'nt right out of the box.
