Love it

Sigurdur 16.03.2025

This is the best Harley Benton I have ever tryed. The look is so good with this deep green sparkle color. I love the sound it has a piano feel to the B string and I love it for metal. But this bass is not only for heavy metal. Of you need clarity and punch this bass is brilljant.
I think of this bass as a good instrument not just as a good cheap instrument.

Cons.
None really.
Pros.
Tone
Balance
Look
Weight
Conclusion.
I simply love it.

Habe das Ding in einem Youtube-Video gesehen, war vom Design und vom Sound im Test begeistert und ihn sofort bestellt. Heute ist er bei mir angekommen und gerade für den schmalen Kurs ist das Ding echt fantastisch, klingt rund und spielt sich wie Butter, Einstellung usw. ist auch alles ok, es wackelt nichts, die Elektronik ist antständig und der Sound einfach rund, das Experiment Multiscale scheint geglückt, zumindest meine Finger haben kein Problem damit.

kupiłem ten bas z dwóch powodów po pierwsze Marcus Miller M7 wymaga grubszej naprawy co potrwa, a po drugie z ciekawości, szczególnie co do progresywnej skali, zawsze się jej bałem nigdy nie miałem okazji dłużej się z taką zapoznać. W tej chwili niemam nawet ochoty naprawiać MM M7 bo brzmi gorzej elektronika w HB jest bardziej intuicyjna, brzmienie lepsze a gryf wygodniejszy. Z minusów, jak dla mnie wygląd, ten brokat... jak japońce z lat 80'. poza tym totalny szok co do stosunku cena-jakość. Gorąco polecam, jeśli boisz się progresywnej skali, twoje ręce ją pokochają kompletnie nie myślisz o tym podczas gry. W połączeniu z piecem Markbassa sprawdziło się doskonale w secie z big-bandem i sekcją smyczkową. Instrument po dostawie nie wymagał żadnych regulacji idealna dla mnie akcja strun doskonale ustawiona menzura. Tylko ten brokat, całe szczęście jak gram to nie widzę ;)
