Impressive. Best bang for the buck, great quality
I'm impressed. Great playability and feel. Very comfortable neck. The instrument is lightweight, weighs 3.3kg, but the neck doesn't dive too much. The neck wood is quite resonant, you can feel it.
The tuners are more solid than I expected, with good resistance and precision.
Relic in the hardware is top notch. I'd hesitate in replacing tuners and bridge as they look so real.
The pickups sound good, nice vintage tone, if a bit lowput.
There is some noise when not touching the strings, so some shielding would be necessary.
Action came good, I just need to adjust it a bit as there are some small buzz in a few spots in the A string.
Satin finish, the relic looks exactly as the picture - the exact same spots and sizes. I had to check the wood grain in the neck to see if I didn't receive the same bass in the picture - I don't, it is a different instrument, but I don't know how they're able to do the exact cracks.
The ageing in the neck is a bit more intense than in the photos.
I've just come from testing F****rs, from the Indonesian to the American (costing over 2600 eu), and this Harley Benton comes out of the box playing better than all of them. Actually, it plays more comfortably than my vintera Mustang and my Sire P5r.
It came from central Germany, over 30 degrees Celsius, to Latvia - around 18 degrees, so there is some fret sprout.
But overall, Im getting a better experience out of the box than I got with more expensive instruments. After some adjustments I foresee using this one more than other basses I have. Fully recommend.

Amazing
This is my favorite p bass color of all time, but I always wanted one that will relic with time.
Finally I could buy one without selling my legs.
The bass sound awesome and feel good and of course looks amazing.
The only downside is that the frets are a little bit sharp, but nothing crazy. I probably won’t even do anything about that because it’s really not a big thing.
