Rick bass copy

Great player,fantastic quality and much more than I had hoped

Harley Benton RB-414CS Classic Series

Wow, much better than expected. Sounds and feels great. Pickups are a bit unbalanced but still do the job. Nice finish and hardware does what it's supposed to do. Very satisfied.

It's NOT a Ric.. it doesn't have to be!

I bought this Bass strictly because of its similarity to the overall look of a Rickenbacker. I've owned several Ric Basses & Guitars (& even a small Ric practice amp!) over the years. After reviewing many online videos featuring this Bass, I purchased it even though it was back ordered up to 15 weeks. Fortunately it only took 12-ish to arrive. Since then I've customized it to my liking such as removing the treble PU cover, changed out the knobs & selector switch cap (everything accented in red), added an aftermarket thumb-rest, changed over to flat-wound strings, etc., etc. It is not my goal to have this Bass "sound" like a Ric. It's a great sounding instrument all on its own. Perhaps in years to come other companies or individuals will try their best to sound like MY Harley Benton! ;)

Great Ric look at a great price

I honestly have no complaints on this bass. The build quality is fantastic. The pickups do a great job. It stays in tune and the finish is absolutely superb. A hell of a bass at this price point. You really can't find something similar for this price.

great guitar so pleased

I wish you sold a hard case for this bass

Great bass

For that money the best instrument!

Awesome Bass

Gave to a friend who always wanted that type of bass. Will be ordering me another once they are back in stock. Very versatile tones from the humbucker and single coil. Put flat wound strings on it and loved the sound! HB did good:-)

Super sounding bass guitar!

I was a little concerned about what I would get when buying this Bass, since the manufacturer's products are almost entirely at a low price point and "in the style of" - some other well known instrument style. I thought quality and components would suffer to meet a given price point.

I was very, very wrong. This is an excellent quality bass at an excellent price point, and it has that "signature" sound that you can hear in the "Famous Bass guitars sound comparison. Guitarbank session" YouTube video - That's where I fell in love with the signature sound that this bass has. I'm so glad I got the sound, without the multiple thousands of dollars signature-sound sized hole in my wallet to match!

I'm very very happy with my purchase, and am considering getting the black one, too, so I have an E standard, and an additional alternate tuning in the guitar stand all the time.

Great RB style bass

Good balance, nice looking finish and feel, despite being a budget guitar it sounds great and is in line with the sound of the guitar it mimics. Excellent quality for the price, and even without considering the price an all around great bass.

A great bass!

A great bass to go with my existing ones (Fender PB, EB3 copy, 5 string).

Easy to tune, fun to play, "original" sound.

Never mind a great bass for the price - simply a great bass!
